melted , look at attachment...

my "spot the error" comment was kinda meant to be ironic.. ;p

:)

Absolutely no RMA ? Or not shure ?

You can try and say it just happend when you wera surfing @ stock voltage and speeds but you'll need toe clean it up a bit:D

hmmmm

How well are these board tested if you send it back for RMA (to a shop, not Epox)?

I've ordered another one, and let's asume (hypothetically offcourse) i would send my dead one back as Dead On Arrival...

What if i break off a capacitor and blame it on UPS? They're insured...

the breaking of a capacitator is not a common thing that happens when sufficiently packaged when transported ... my guess ...

if it's coming from funcomp.de i think you've got a fair shot to get another one in replacement - i've experienced their service as whooptidoo-great on such matters :)

If they don't take off the northbridge heatsink & they don't check serial numbers (which i don't think they do), i've got a fair chance indeed.

How long did it take to get a replacement?

5 days to get the package back to germany ( :rolleyes: )
+ another 3 days (werkdagen) to return the new one

wow, quick service. :o


What was wrong with it? DOA?

i ordered a Ti4200 and got an MX440 ...

but i just couldn't resist it and opened the package ... once i saw that the card didn't seem like a good OC'er i packed it up and away it went to germany :)

so package had been opened, i have had glitches while OC'ing it but i didn't test if they were gone @ standard clocks ...

after all, i didn't hear from them anymore after i got the (right) Ti4200

(which, by the way, didn't cost me one penny to this day ! :) )
