*****20% VAT CASH BACK OFFER*****

not convinced how?

Hi-C Caps are proven, the technology is nobel prize winning and they are used in all places where reliability is essential and price is not an issue (i.e. the international space station :p) they aren't something that MSI just came up with, they've been around for years but they cost more. MSI were the first to impliment them on consumer level components, I think their Big Bang X58 board may have been the first.

as for the efficiency improvements you just need to look at power consumption figures in reviews.

I find button onboard much easier for debugging once the system is built but i know what you mean

UEFI is a pretty big step IMO & i'm shocked that Gigabyte are so far behind when even Asrock can manage it. :eek:

tbh i lost faith in gigabyte when my X58A-UD5 ended up being buggy and unstable with the worst SATA 6gbps performance imaginable. I'm wondering where all the money they made over the recent years has gone because it surely hasnt gone into R&D

I guess it's alright for people who just own antique hardware for years on end but with it being an enthusiast board one would think people would have upgrade within 3 years.

Going back to when I had an Asus A8N Sli Premium, a good 6 year ago it lasted me 4 years (sold it) without any problems, didn't use any of these fancy caps so think it's abit of a marketing gimmick more than anything. :D
 
Anyone got a save of that form? i have lost my copy please help me :'(

Sent my form off today. Note to self for the future wait for the T&C's to be published before buying two items only to find only one qualifies for a rebate :(
 
Is a print out of my order history from the OCUK accounts page enough to qualify as an invoice for this offer? it shouws what i bought, the order date, my address and the order status (complete).
 
2.3) Online pre-qualification submissions must be completed and supporting documentation must be postmarked before end January 31st 2011 to qualify.

What pre-qualification submission?

;) you maybe right.

btw what is important for me is local rma service which msi doesn't have as far as i know. i have had a few gigabyte mobos and when one of them needed repair then i was positively surprised with quick repair time.

not just a marketting gimmick, the improved performance, reliability and efficiency is proven.

As far as RMA service, you have a choice, return it to the place of purchase who will send it to our Netherlands based RMA centre for a 5 day turnaround or send it off to NL yourself. Our replacements are all new, in box with accessories and you could get it back in less than ten days, can't say much fairer than that and you won't get that quality or speed of service from Asus or Gigabyte. ;)

I sent mine recorded delivery to make sure and got email back saying it will take about 6 weeks.

This email goes out to everyone as soon as the letter is opened, just so you know it's arrived and we are dealing with it. :D

6 weeks is a maximum as we may end up processing the applications in bulk and we do not know exactly how long it will take.
