Absolutely love it. On full load, it keeps the 470 cooler by a good 20 degrees as compared to stock cooler.

No, they don't have flags in them. Your friend probably just told them he OCed the shit out of them. You wouldn't beleive the crap I've done to ram, and still got RMAs on them, including numerous Corsair kits. It's pure honor system. Luckily for me, I have no honor.

Isn't it our job to play stupid, get the RMA, then let them figure out what broke and why?

generally, wires hanging off them with the muiltimeter and potentiometers still attached is a good sign 'this guy is legit, it just failed under regular use'

What if it was one of those leet boards with all the readout points on it, what constitutes "regular use" anyways?

I tend to abuse all my hardware equally, so in a sense it is very much "regular use".

Lets just say I'm really good at covering my soldering tracks. lol.

And, like Sneeky, extra voltage is just regular usage for me.

If I didn't think I would get in trouble.. I'd report you for still using that signature! Even more now that you got that chip!!

Can't wait to see it under water again!
