And another dead TI4600
 

Damn damn damn, now that my vapo is back ok the ti just died on me! Just testing the system on standard settings all of a sudden screen turned black and after 5 sec it turned back on but now it looks like this:


I guess i'll be going to m² with a gf ddr :(

Damn sorry to hear bicker :(

Where did you get it? If it's a good shop you'll get RMA before m²... hopefully. Is waranty voided?

I've got a Ti4200 (xelo @327|580) and a Ti4600 (visiontek @340|800), but my intention was to sell one of those 2 before septembre because i need the cash to pay my visa bill. Otherwise I'd be happy to lend you one. :^/

oh yes, warranty. I didn't even think about it. My brain is melting... Purchased april this year so that 'll be no problem I hope.

lol :^D

That would be the first thing on my mind. :)

Good luck with the warranty, you'll prolly get your card back in time.

ramdeath :/
failure rate in ti4600's is 40%!

sorry to hear that Bicker :(

check PM :)

innige deelneming, maar er gaan blijkbaar veel ti4600's kaput, daarjust hier op't werk ook enen gehad die ongeveer zelfde beeld als die van u gaf

if necessary, you can use my GTS during M7 ...

that is, if i receive my Ti4200 from funcomp.de before the end of september

echo indeed, had time-out and reposted in different words (i can't say the same thing twice :rolleyes: )

Today I received an e-mail from Gainward with rma number. I've send the card directly to them now. Let's all burn a little candle for me and hope it comes back in time...

is it just me, or is there an echo in here?

:-p

notice the time, the BASM server is acting up
pretty slow today & yesterday :(

replacement ti4600 has arrived, now leme get a radeon 9700 pro and I'll sel this baby without even opening the box.

Hmm... I have exactly the same image when I overclock my ATI Radeon too far... (that is, waaaaaay too far :p )

I need to turn off my PC then, leave it out for a few minutes, and then it's back to normal. But when I hear this story I won't overclock that far anymore ;)

RMA ?

:o

yup!
RMA is here.
Selling it directly. Won't even bother trying to overclock it, I don't have the time.

kylie minogue sings "You must be so lucky "especially for us :-)

Ive looked at that email again, they just informed me that the card was arrived, not that they are going to send me a new one :(
must learn the German language :)

how come ? they said that warranty is voided?
or are they gonna fix the prob?

Today I recieved a brand new gf4 from Gainward in replacement for the dead one. The only thing I mailed to them was the card (no box, cables or drivers cd etc). Now they have sent me a complete unopened box. What should I do, open it and use the card or try to sell it and wait for the 9700??

btw Gamer, how did you manage to rip the rammodule off together with the heatsink? When I decide to use the card I intend to use my tweakmonsters ramsinks (at last) and killing the gf4 is not an option so every hint is welcome here...

biCker -- the deepfreeze-trick together with bein' a bit carefull has worked for me every time until now ...

brute force :)
stupid me
you can use a knife, it works perfectly.

Sell it. You can get 350$ for that card if you're a bit lukcy, while the R9700 will be available for not that much more in a few weeks. :)

a knife? I was thinking of using creditcard and/or screwdriver after 2 hours in the freezer.

Selling is really tempting but a: I want to try bf1942 out and it won't work with my the gff drr it seems and b: m² is coming up and I'm afraid the radeon won't be available by then.

Well, I guess i'll have to flip a coin on this; right after dinner...

R9700 at tones and MPL.

I could buy one today for € 426 (club 3D) but they where sold out :(

lowest price I could find now is € 462 at http://www.pcdigital.nl

mmm, toss said "open it and use it" but i'll put it for sale just to see how much I could sell it. +/- €500 for a r9700 isn't that expensive, certainly when I only have to"opleggen" a 100€ :grr:

ohoh, what does it mean when after a cold boot there is a red shine all over the screen for the first two minutes?

hmmz, somthing with the extra power connector I think.

extra power connector? Explain plz

there is no extra powerconnector at the Ti 4600 :p

red shine ?
not good I think ....
It isn't your monitor ?

i know that stuff
a)the vga connecter behind your screen causes it
=>my old screen turned purple, after a while more and more. brought it to a hw-shop and he replaced that cable on the rear of my screen.
b) your vga connecter to your graca: when i don't put it properly on, it also turns into strange colours. check your connections

your right teus, I forget to tighten the dvi>vga connector and my cat did the rest ;) thx

Teus to the rescue

we are expecting newsposts soon from this young gent!
