    The MSi GPU I sent you was a RMA piece but that was done four years ago around this time when I realised the card was frying itself due to manufacturing defects.

     

    And see, the fan stopped. They will repair it probably for an astronomical amount.

     

    On that note, could you open up the heatsink, and see if you can find some model number on the fan (you may have to remove fan as well from the heatsink). I'll search around on ebay for a replacement fan.

    my original GPU radeon HD 6950 1 gb turned it in for RMA ...got replacement...a copy which was handed to me loose...i.e. it wasnt packed and sealed in a new box....became faulty and turned it in...got a new replacement....with this new replacement display did not even start.....even this 2nd replacement was given loose without a sealed box of radeon saffire!! tried my friend's GPU and system works fine...so the new GPU is the problem!!

     

    so my question is when u get a replacement ...are u supposed to get a freash sealed copy or just a loose piece ? i have been given faulty GPUs as replacement!! me mad me angry me want retribution!! Aditya infotech is responsible for this service error!!

     

    Thoughts?

     

    Well, the RMA scene in India for many GPU manufacturers is not exactly a very pretty picture. Repair is their first option, and replacements are often just repaired cards. No new box, nothing.

    Frequency timings, latency timings?

     

    Also, different brands?

     

    I went through the motherboard manual, it has a lot of settings for the DRAM menu. Guess I should try with Auto first, and see if the system boots up and shows all the memory. If so, am good to go.

  12. Suggestions and feedback

    Good idea.

     

     

    Also:

     

    1. Add more moderators.

    2. Refresh all sticky threads. They are completely dead.

    3. Some sort of topic template would be neat. Most of the threads are very dry and OT is just a trailer and few lines. I see we had IVG LC year ago. What happened to it?

    4. Games library section is dead for more than a year. (doesn't look good. Remove it perhaps? optional)

    5. Re-name "Downloads" section to "Deals". It'll be more appropriate and will push users to check frequently.

    6. Sidebar can use "recent comment" or simple IVG FB/Twitter page widget instead of "Recent Facebook Activity". Why? Because it looks dead as well.

    7. New smiley set.

    8. Bring back shoutbox?

    9. Optional: Complete theme overhaul. There are some sleek IPB themes out there. We can surely chip in $30 and get one of those. Current one is good, but way too old. Looks like default IPB theme.

    j/k : nice suggestions, those. Will bring those up during our top-secret leadership meetings.

    Do all RAM stick timings have to be the same in a setup. I have 2x4GB GSkill RipjawsX 1600MHz. I am contemplating a RAM increase, actually getting my hand on Hynix 4GB 1600MHz RAM.

     

    1. If there is a difference in the RAM timings of Hynix and GSkill, will it be an issue?

    2. Since RAM is recommended to be installed in pairs, will it not give me optimum performance if I have three RAM sticks (two of which are the GSkill pair)?

    Herman Wouk's following novels :

     

    Winds of War

    War and Remembrance

     

    For those who want to know about WWII but as the backdrop of a story. He does give a lot of factual information in the form of essays/papers written by a character : (fictional) German general.

    At StarSports.com the live feed is at the 9th over (whereas 12th over has already been completed as per Cricinfo) :doh:

     

    They'll score well, Kohli is in the mood and Yuvraj needs a single good over to get those big hits.

     

    Edit : Yuvi out.
