    thanks mate. thats a good explanation . and from what ive been reading so far it looks like that is the main cause. im fairly convinced as well that no waterblock or heatsink adjustment can make a difference. every thread i come accross seems to blame the shim and ihs.
    i might just sell it cheap and buy a cheap gt . im over it, its not worth the stress just to play games.
    bfg wins i loose.

    tiro-
    the retailer says its under warranty . according to the warranty it has to be returned to bfg. its bfg who are the rogues here. and imo they should be avoided.
    by the way. after the second rma , bfg appologized for sending me two faulty cards and assured me the nxt replacement will be personally tested by the warehouse manager.
    the thing is the 3rd replacement is the worst of them all. this one overheats to 107c in seconds. and is missing dvi screws and is scratched on the side panel.
    obviously , the warehouse manager thinks this is a big joke and im just some dumb aussie. this is how these butholes think.
    they wont reply to my emails anymore and even though they emailed me saying i was eligible for that rebate. they wont send it to me or answer my emails inregards to my rebate .
    its bfg that needs to be avoided imo. sorry for the rage lol
