Wherever you go, there you are.
It's ironic that i replied to a post earlier in which someone asked about BFG RMA'S and now i find myself in the same position as the original poster. I must be the unluckiest guy in this forum as this is my second 8800gtx oc2 thats failed in only three months and thats while running at stock speeds.

Has anyone else had this happen to them in such a short time?
 
I've read on another forum that some people underclocked their 8800gtx oc2 to prevent this very problem but i don't know if there's any truth in this.
 
I underclocked mine after i noticed some strange graphic anomalies in cod4 and hellgate london but i fear it's too little too late.
 
Not sure if i want another 8800gtx oc2 as i can't afford the £38 charge from dhl every time i have to rma back to BFG.
What would my chances be of getting a different replacement from them , and if i do what is comparable to my 8800gtx oc2.
 
They get sent to someplace in Wales.
Plus BFG state in the email they send that you must use a trackable courier service with shipping insurance in the chance that your graphics card gets "lost" while en route.
 
Great stuff, you guys just saved me time and money.
Will be using either royal mail or interparcel from now on, thanks guys.:)
 
So you think if i complained enough about the rma delivery charges they would possibly give me a free upgrade?
