I am surprised a OCUK boss hasn't posted in here to clear thing up. Letting this thread go on and on is just bad publicity for both Asus and OC. Way more bad publicity than the cost of the board.

you are looking to clone the drive by the looks of it. google should give you some idea. HDD to SSD is a fairly common upgrade.

If you are not getting a clear signal from the HDMI out then it looks like it is more than just screen damage. If you have to replace the screen, hinges, case, gpu, etc is might well not be cost effective.

Need to buy a replacement for a broken screen. No problem getting the old one out and the new one in, but buying one seems a bit perplexing. All the people who supply spares on ebay and their own websites just want you to give them your existing part number and then they give you a price for a...

I get the vacuum hose right in there. I know some people hate this and talk about static but it has never caused an issue in the last 15 years of doing it, every few months on countless PCs.

Depends, is it running your ram at full speed?

supply and demand is kinda the opposite of OPEC style cartels :D

look more like rivets

Out of interest, when are you playing that these cards can't handle?

Sometimes it is best to charge - even if it is only a nominal fee. Some people like to feel they gave value for value and if you refuse payment they are not going to ask for help again when they need it. All depends on the specific friend and the specific relationship you have with them...

The cooling it the only major difference. Maybe slightly better power delivery on the full size cards. Both making them more attractive for overclocking. In a well ventilated case I suspect all three cards at stock to give performance within a few percentage points and draw around the same power.

Actually the UK's biggest tax dodger doesn't offer this as standard any more. If it is unopenned you could have shipped it back for a fiver though and reordered.

new monitor or new gfx card

Cheapest way to play a lot of those games would be a console IMO. Hope saying that doesn't get me lynched on here :D

The OP is unhappy that he will likely get a refurb card. If he had taken it back to the store he would have likely had a new card or a refund. I was merely pointing out that the OP has some justification in feeling annoyed. The refurb will likely work out just fine but if you opted for a...

They work passive DP to HDMI but only powered (and expensive) HDMI to DP. If the HDMI-in is on the TV and the DP-out is on the gfx card then any cheap passive lead should work. Does the gfx card have dvi-i? DVI to HDMI leads are usually inexpensive.

I disagree. It is likely to come with an older bios that does not contain the memory compatibility update. So I would update it when you build the PC with the latest stable bios. The reason manuals advise against frivolous updating, every time a new bios comes out, is that 1. there is a slim...

Other than the fans, then I would say the warranty. Palit is RMA all the way to asia.

I wouldn't say Gigabyte are responsibility free in this. They made a defective card and if the shop had been in business it would have returned the card as faulty stock and received a credit equal to new wholesale price.

EVGA is passive at idle temps, acceptable under load (60%) and a jet engine should you ever whack it up to 100%. I am not sure why it even allows you to got up to 100% though as it is over 3500 rpm and nobody wants that. I hear asus RMA isn't great.
