    Clearance Issues with OCZ Memory cooler and Abit AW9D-MAX and still waiting on reply.

    I'd been drooling over the Memory cooler for quite some time and just got around to picking one up.

    Loved the build quality, the aesthetics are great.

    Theres just one problem.

    I installed it, followed the directions word for word, turned my computer on and *pop*. The bottom of it apparently touched my graphics and shorted it, frying it.

    To spare you a long story.

    RMA'd card, had to buy a backup card to use while its away as I need my computer running for college work.

    So, I'm out like $40 bucks on a temporary graphics card, and I have a $25 hunk of aluminum thats totally useless.

    I want to make sure that something like this doesn't happen to anyone else.
    I would highly recommend that you recall existing units and add some kind of dielectric finish to the cooler.

    After talking with DarthBeavis he told me that he uses several layers of clear nail polish to prevent what happened to me.

    I really dont think that something as important as this should be up to the end users.

    I look forward to hearing back from you. I previously was a huge fan on OCZ, (hell you've probly seen pictures of me at lan parties. I'm the guy with the giant C on my back) , but after this I am more than a little bit frustrated with you guys.
