i would consider it less of a risk buying B-stock because EVGA atleast allows you to RMA them and a lot of people in the b/s/t don't allow any returns(i am one of them but have yet to have anyone get something that was DOA or fail and if so no one has said anything)
I'm almost willing to say that most people will test there hardware better then EVGA does before they sell it. If a big company like EVGA loses a few customers they won't care. If a seller loses a few customers then that could be a problem.
my point is it is easier for a seller in the b/s/t to get a bad rep and people not want to buy from them then it is for EVGA

Very interesting points, the average seller has a lot to loose from a bad sale, EVGA don't really.
I guess it's a trade up then between the ability to RMA, and detailed history/testing of the products.

Well I wouldn't go that far. Especially considering I got it for $90 after MIR. I didn't have any issues or glaring disappointments with it; 200x20 for 4Ghz with my i5 760 no prob. I just decided I wanted an SLI board and better phases for future endeavors.
