Older WoW players?

Benchmarks

I tried to unlock the pipes and got artifacts galore!!! The vortex shader unlocks fine ( 12x6 ) My temps seem stable 36-38c idle 48-51c at load ( playing HL2 mostly ) Those temps are not great, but not high enough to cause problems.

How to RMA a motherboard

I was wondering if you would share your trouble with the group. How long did your MB last? Were you overclocking it? Did you do something like drop, kick, or abuse the board or did it just up and quit? I own the same board and with all the dirty talk surrounding this product I kinda wish I went...

Loud PSU

I ordered the case from Newegg. I would hate to have to take apart the PC , sned it back, wait for a replacement, ect.. I figured if there was a way to ramp down the fan I would try that first. If not I will just buy another and take the loss.
