this whole situation sucks pretty bad. hopefully something is going to be done.
also as far as i know, if you go with evga and maybe dfi, you will likely get a Lotes socket.
well i tried a bunch of older drivers and at first i thought the issue went away but after a few minutes, the flickering came right back.
right now i'm stuck using the card without nvidia drivers loaded and just using whatever windows uses to get the display up.
i'm kinda sick of this...
from your picture it looks like there is contact being made with the socket. i dont think it's those little poked lookin nicks that you're lookin for but some indication that there is contact between the socket and the processor.
if u look at the pictures that raja put up of the processor...
well how bout that. i took the processor off and took a look and it LOOKS to me that contact points are all lined up and touching.
i heard that maybe foxconn had already fixed the issue in the newer boards. i hope that's true. in my case, i think i get a good socket or the thing's been...
btw, it's not like i said im no longer gonna own a computer now cuz i'm soooo upset.
quite the contrary. i'm not that upset. only upset to the point that i'd like to return and exchange my board for one that will have the correct amount of ground points being used. is that REALLY too much...
raja has tested how many of each board he's tested? in how many different configurations?
you sound waaay too confident about the lack of severity of this issue.
this issue was just brought to light and you're already writing it off and a non issue. wouldnt it be wise to wait and...
right.
the thing has been out for how long?
how much market share do you think it's taken? with such a small test sample, do you REALLY feel 100% that there will NEVER be any other issues related to this?
also, i'd be interested to know if ANYONE with a foxconn made 1156 socket has even contact wearing on their processor. if maybe this is just a bad batch or a complete design flaw on their part.
when i get home tonight, i'll be checkin mine out.
that's great and all.
let me ask you this. would you prefer to have a product made with a defect with a possibility of increased failure or one without that defect?
you can write all your mumbo jumbo about manufacturing and how companies cut corners, still doesnt change the fact that...
i have no problem getting the video card exchanged but i'm concerned if the motherboard or powersupply may have had to do with the card going bad.
i didnt see any of these problems until last night(computer was 2 days old at that point).
also when i tested things this morning, i unplugged...
hey guys so i just put together a new i7 860 system on tuesday and last night while watching a tv show on fox.com i noticed the screen to start flickering.
it seems to be that the screen flickers to black when there is hard drive activity. this is to the point where i pretty much cant use...
im jsut wondering on some details.
I have a costco card but it has been expired for a few months. Do they scan it or something? Or do they just look at it and let you buy?
And are these stations 24 hours? Or are they only open when Costco is open??
thanks guys
