This is just a rant.
2 months ago I bought a 1650 super gaming X. Yesterday I finished the build with a new power supply. (500w be quiet gold unit)
Yesterday was spent installing windows 10 and trying to find my way around it. I was still using win7.
Today I get up, watch some videos, go to the kitchen to make some food, and come back to see a black screen. Power LED was still on and fans were still spinning.
Reset it only to find it won't post.
An hour later and after many F bombs I figured out it was the GPU. I'm typing this with my old card.
Newegg won't help as it's outside of their measly 30 day return policy. Mark my words. They won't see another penny from me.
MSI won't cover shipping so to RMA this 200$ card would cost me $40 after the 1.5 hour drive to the nearest UPS store and shipping it across the country. Then I'd probably get sent another broken card anyway.
Now I get to see if my new PSU kills my old card and in the mean time save up for another video card which I waited 5 years to get. Joy.
