The story starts. I buy a completely new rig as separate components.
Build everything up, spend hours making the cables tidy.
oh no. the PSU is making a pathetic squealing noise, (corsair tx850) sent it back for an RMA refund, and purchased a new one from elsewhere.
Set up the new PSU, its fine and dandy (high five cooldermaster!)
settle down to a lazy afternoon of gaming.
Game crashes within 30 seconds of loading it.
ATItools and furmark prove my brand spanking new msi gtx 470 twin frozr to be defect.
While I was in troubleshooting mode, I also checked out my 12gb corsair xms3 1600 ram.
Memtest86+ tells me that both of the 6gb kits i purchased were also faulty.
three items went back for RMA (world record of 4 items being defective in one system?)
Received my goods back today, ram seems fine, though I've not tested it yet.
I open the box of my new gtx 470, to find the sticker on the top of the card says gtx460.
WHAT THE F*CK. thats right a 460 inside a 470's box, did you think i wouldnt notice that?
All in all, 2 weeks wasted on faulty or WRONG goods.
I'll be on the ringer tomorrow for a full refund on all the items I've purchased, and I don't care what they say.
Kind regards,
Jimmy
