Video Card Problem Solved - £750 down the drain - GUTTED
 

I now have the answer to why the cards are failing.

The cards have been closely examined and it would seem that there is either water droplets / condensation leaking onto them from my vapochil cooling system...it looks like both cards are un-repairable and I will have to pay over £750 to replace them (my original card plus the replacement)

I am still in a state of shock and feel absolutely sick.

Damn Jabba yet another un-needed expense :( , Is there nothing you can do to get any compensation from the cooling system people? as i would caracterise that as an inherent design fault myself :| leaking water/ condensation next to expensive electronics shouldn't happen IMO

Just sending them an e-mail now....and I am going to await their responce before saying anything else.

damn that sucks.. but it is one unfortunate effect of using phase change cooling - unless the insulation is perfect then you get some condensation :( ( I nearly killed a 9700pro the same way, but luckily after a few days it worked ok again )

I paid alot of money to savrow for it to be perfect....I wish I had built it myself now...paying for your own mistakes is bad enough...paying for someone elses...well there are no words for how I feel right now....

Argh that's sick!!!!!!!!!!

Shame on savrow for a messy job I suppose...

that really sucks

and whats worse you were praising them a lot in the other thread

Don't think we even know for sure who is to blame, may just be a faulty cooler and not within their control i guess

Well they charged me big bucks for it...so lets see what they have got to say before anything else is said.

:( that aint too good, surely its still under warranty though? And its not exactly your fault?

Its a very complicated issue and long story...but its a third party card that I fitted...that was damaged by a savrow component....

As I say... slightly more complicated and I hope they show good understanding of the situation.

Hum... big shit...

But you something from Savrow where they admit that it was their component that caused the other one to fail??

If I were you... I would get on their anckle until they payed for their mistakes!

Ask the opinion of your lawyer, maybe he has a better idea of the recomended procedures!

Well third party or not say you are a proffesional that needed that third party card. I dont think anyone buys a system that expensive and doesnt make alternations to it.

And this could have happend to any card, even their own card that came with the system.

The reason I changed their card was because it was un-reliable (kept locking the PC up)..and now I know why of course....gonna have a good look at that card tonight.

Hmm...Jabba, sorry about that horrible news though. anyways, have you have your mind set on any other cards?
