Title: Overclockers.co.uk finally get with the program... Post by: HellDiverUK on December 14, 2013, 11:07:19 AM Just got an email from Overclockers, and they're listing a load of hardware that's "Great for Mining" - including PSUs, GPUs and the like.
Nice to see them getting in on the action, though I wonder how they'll deal with all the returns of melted PSUs and burnt out GPUs? :D Title: Re: Overclockers.co.uk finally get with the program...

Nice to see them getting in on the action, though I wonder how they'll deal with all the returns of melted PSUs and burnt out GPUs? :D I can imaging the call to get the RMA number, "Can you please send us a jpg of your 12 screen game machine" :) I think the end result will more like that of Gigabyte where the hardware will self protect by removing overclock ability such as the rev2 7950, PSU's with tighter limits on overload and temp per connector, etc. That way the amount of kit that would need to be RMA'ed will be far less.

It literally blew up the first time I plugged it in (I think it was a GF2MX), a cap just evaporated leaving a burnt hole in the board.
About a month later the fried card arrived back with "No Fault Found". ::) Yeah, no fault apart from the 1cm hole in the board and no video output, and no POST on the PC... |
