B-Grade...

Gashman · 30 Mar 2006 at 00:25

anyone know how to find out why something is B-grade, cause i am highly interested in a sapphire PURE innovation motherboard, but im curious to know whats missing or whatever?

Dont know mate, give them a webnote and they might be able to answer, I just bought a b-grade mobo yesterday lets see what it its like tomorrow.

When I ordered a DFI board, all I got was the board and nothing else

May have no I/O plate, manual, leads etc.

Or could have them all, pot luck.

Only limited warranty too.

Mine has everything bar the manual, preety lucky I guess, will check for manual online, still waiting on CPU and PCI-E Graphics to get this started.
One thing, I got a Arctic cooling fraazer 64 pro, should I remove the normal paste they put on and put some of my own as5 on?

Sometimes its stuff that has been returned, and repaired etc... and you only get a 7 day warranty or 14 can't remember, but as said above you could get lucky, im sure theres a few ppl got stuff from the b-grade, and never had any probs, as said pot luck.

Welcome to the forums btw.

14 day warranty. I bought a board which as far as I could tell was supplied with everything as new. Unfortunately couldnt get the board to boot so have returned it.

I need my CPU and PCI-E Graphics card to come quickly then lol, wouldnt want to keep a broken motherboard.

I've had 100% success so far with B-grade;

2 x graphics cards
1 x motherboard
2 x cases
2 x routers
4 x processors (how can an oem processor be b-grade?)

Vegeta · 30 Mar 2006 at 20:37

Yeah and mine has the manual, just didnt see it at first lol.

was gonna buy PURE innovation board but i have decided to go for an abit crossfire board

trojan698 · 31 Mar 2006 at 00:31

Fair enough, there are some bargains in there, but what I dont understand about the B-Grade section is when it says

Originally sold at £53.75+VAT

Price: £53.75 (£63.16 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Sheer Madness if you ask me

Gashman · 31 Mar 2006 at 00:36

know if those abit crossfire boards clock well? read some reviews on them and seems around 315Mhz average, which is enough for my needs, wanna see if my 3200+ will run at 3Ghz with watercooling

Damn! what did they do just stick the stamps direct to the mobo, didn't it get damaged in the post?
