RMA'ing my 780i for the last time.. lulz

Okaaay, so I just found this huge burned area on the motherboard, yet it's still working.
I just RMA'ed the board, and will get an Asus Rampage Formula x48 instead from the shop.
Well hey havnt accepted the RMA yet, but im pretty sure they will.

It's like this little chip near third PCI E slot, its totally burned.

Nooooooo!!!!!!! Now the world is turning into an icing cake!!!!!!! BTW, why don't go for the Maximus II Formula. The ICH10R is better than the ICH9R with some bugs fixed on the later one. Well if you don't care on storage, why don't just go for the Rampage Extreme. I was going to get it but since X58 ruled out, I dropped it from my shopping list. That board has nicer looks than bronze. And I liked an option to switch from LC to Passive, air cooling on the NB.^_^

Here's some vids:

Spot the difference. Enjoy on your new board when you got it!

nvidia chipset.

+1

I knew this had to be Green or John's post before I saw it. Good game nVidia. This is why we have AMD/ATi.

check the prices.
Ihave to choose a board on same price range as the 780i was when I bought it.

Oh and you others; Actually it was me who burned it when I did some failed overclocking back in the days, but not saying that in the RMA x]

Nvidia chipsets are notoriously crap. Every single one I have had has gone wrong in some shape or form and is not limited to intel as Amd/Nvidia have also gone wrong.

Wont buy another again for that simple reason. The only saving grace is that the X58 and coming P55 boards are not made by Nvidia yet accept SLI.

i have owned 2 nvidia boards, the 680i LT SLI and the 790i, i have liked both other than the fact that the 790i needed a bios update.

Nvidia chipset

XDDDDD

This is what happens when you don't purchase a PS3.

Enjoy your pins and ancient build quality.

HAha you gay.
Youre in my position pretty much.
Nvidia chipsets, ps3...

LOL WAIT, You're gonna get an X48 (and not P45) even though you have an Nvidia card? ...

explain

X48 is better than the P45. Also, no intel chipset does SLI other than the X58 and the coming P55!

X48 is pretty much a slightly upgraded X38. It still uses ICH9R. Only thing it has is CF.

P45 is newer. Ask anybody, P45 is better.

Unless you must run crossfire (which you won't), P45 is the definite choice.

This nigger's right y'all
