Overclockingįor many, overclocking is a daunting task which means walking a fine line between better performance and broken hardware. Below, are the fundamental features that make up the software and exactly what they offer. You know, out of all the graphics cards I've had and all the motherboards I've had, the eVGA ones are the only ones to flat out die on me.The easiest way to understand what MSI Afterburner does is to break the utility down into categories. Finally, the last straw is a 650Ti that is not stable under load, the fan shoots up to 100% the instant load is put on it even though temps are fine, and after a few seconds the screen just goes black, card only had a 1 year warranty and it is more than 1 year old. I had a GTS250 that had memory go bad and started artifact real bad, even on the BIOS screen, the card was out of warranty. People complained in the forums about it, eVGA promised they were working on a fix, then one day all the threads or posts that mention the USB issue just magically disappeared from their forums. And finally my P55 FTW 200 board were eVGA released a BIOS that totally screwed up the front USB ports and then never put out an updated BIOS again. My 780i just died one day, I turned it off and it would not POST, wasn't registered within 30 days so no RMA. I have a 610i board with burnt up VRMs that was running a dual-core at stock speed(the board claims support for quads), no RMA because it wasn't registered within 30 days. I've had 3 motherboards that either died or had major issues that eVGA wouldn't take care of, as well as two graphics cards that don't work. Oh, and FYI, when the board died eVGA basically told me to go pound sand when I tried to RMA it because the 1 year warranty was expired and I didn't register it within 30 days so my lifetime warranty was void.īut, like I said, the warranty issue isn't the only issue I have that makes me avoid eVGA products.

EVGA can call it an "optional extended warranty" on the website all they want, but their wording on the box is a flat out lie then.Īnd yeah, it is all legal thanks to that little asterisk. That to me is saying the product is covered by one length of warranty, then cutting it when the customer doesn't register within 30 days.
