lol but your card cant go up to 1.6v on the core I tryed it again and with 1.6v and it droped to 12.14v

but did you run the mem one at a time at stock volts and tim ? what are you using to test them ?

The guy said he found it cheaper retail and that he wouldn't buy it or pay my fees. The ram I tested with windows mem test and mem86 and both said this stick was bad once I removed it my system is fine.So back to crucial it goes I sent the usbc code with the rebate they better not give me any shit on packaging. I may sell the 8800 gts 512mb I'm not all that impressed. It depends on which sells. I should get me fees back from the non payer thru ebay.

Damn, what did he say?? He can't do that. Make him pay your freakin' listing fees..Well, if you wanted to part with that cooler, and sell the card with the stock cooler, I'd be interested in the cooler.

on this topic the cooler is what makes it worth atleast three hundred, plus the crysis game i'm including, and it bios flashed . The 8800 gt with the bios flash almost match my 8800 gts 512mb step for step. In a game you cannot tell at all.

I think it is equal to the old 8800 gts cooler it is near silent at say 60 percent slightly audible at 70 percent and it looks cool on other cooler but the evga cooler on this look stupid. They should have used the traditional Black evga cooler. Also when turned to 70 percent it is as good as a dual orb cooler or very near it.

File an unpaid item dispute and you will get your final value fees back. Unfortunately there is no way to get the listing fee's back. But the final value fee's are more expensive, especially on a high dollar item.

TRT- I had to flash back to an older BIOS on my Gigabyte mobo too (different model) this last one stops my system running stable even at stock. I had no idea what the hell was going on- really worried me for a coupe of days! Fortunately nothing permanent seems to have happened.

Well it seems to have first caused ram errors then killed two stick, and somehow it has either confused windows into not finding my lan or killed it aswell. I went back to F7 and all is well except for two dead sticks of ram and a dead lan. The lan has power and the modem has a solid green connection but it just won't work . I tried a new cable because the bios has a cable test for the ethernet / lan and it's not responding at all. WTF. This is my last Gigabyte. I may RMA this board and when it returns sell it. It is a full featured board that overclocks like hell but man all these problems. I even tried to reflashing the bios, upgrading the chipset drivers, then reactivate the ethernet adapter ,without any difference. Then I tried reinstalling a fresh copy of windows on my second hardrive, unplugged the first hardrive, reset the bios and boot with the fresh copy of windows,still no ethernet found. I'm using a USB connection now and ordered a 7 dollar ethernet adapter. Still this is B.S because Gigabyte has no advanced rma so if I return it I will be without a computer for 3 weeks.

You going to go the Asus route- or perhaps DFI?

Asus I think but maybe EVGA I really want this board but it is pissing me off.

Go Asus(look at the oc records- many-a-time on an Asus)- I have begun to hate my Gigabyte board too. It's not that they are not good- they are, it's more that they have little quirks that begin to grate on you and wear you down.

overclocking is not the problem read a bit of the thread and the links.
