Very disappointed with replacement quality for my MSI GTX 480 Lightning

Hello,
Here is my original thread
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154517.0
I sent my MSI GTX 480 Lightning last week and I received a RMA replacement today with different serial #.
I did noticed that RMA dept. replaced the TIM before they shipped. I tried them with default clock to test the stability and it was very unstable.
My fan would go up to 100% and it would give me close to 90c temperature. My previous gtx 480 lightning would never go above mid 70c with 100% fan.
I set everything to default and played my favorites games and games was chappy like FPS would go up and down randomly. I tried Nvidia driver 285.62 and 290.36 beta, but both would behave same.
I even tried with other bio switch, but samething. I also noticed that new serial # was also manufactured in May 2011 (My previous gtx 480 lightning was also manufactured in May 2011) and they both comes with 701mhz core clock instead of 750mhz core clock. I am hugely disappointed. I doubt RMA dept tested this card before they sent out. Do I need to pay a shipping again for a RMA?
I currently have two MSI video cards (gtx 480 lightning and R6850 cyclone PE/OC), but they both having problem and I am forced to use ati 5770 in 2560 x 1600 resolutions :(
My spec:
i7 920 D0 4Ghz
Asus Rampage III Gene (latest bio)
MSI gtx 480 lightning + MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC + sapphire 5770
Corsair F60 SSD, Crucial M4 64 SSD, Samsung 1TB 7200rpm
Asus Xonar ST PCI sound card
Window 7 Ultimate 64bit
Seasonic X750 Gold PSU

I requested another RMA and I really hope I get a working one back.
I really don't want to deal with 3rd RMA and shpping cost. I know bad replacement can happen to any other company, so I am going to keep buying more MSI GPUs.

  • Very disappointed with photo book quality

    I created and ordered a photo book using Aperture and am extremely disappointed with the quality. The opening page has a spot of red ink on it with vertical red banding through the center of the image. Many other pages also have the banding.
    Most of the images are also very grainy. I know the source images are not at fault, they are very smooth and look nice on my monitor and when I print them. In fact I ordered a few prints through Aperture and they came out really nice. The grain pattern is the same for both full page prints and those that are sized down to about 2x3.
    On top of that, the paper quality seems worse than previous books I have created using iPhoto. I was always happy with those books, and I assumed Aperture would be the same if not better.
    The books I created with iPhoto were with jpeg images from the same camera, a rebel xt. The only difference this time was most of the images were shot as raw. There was also a small handful jpegs shot with a point and shoot and these have the same grainy pattern as the the raw images.
    I sent an email to Apple support, but are others still having book quality issues with the latest version of Aperture 2? This is unacceptable, especially for the amount that is charged. Would it have been better if I exported the images as jpegs, imported them into iPhoto and created the book there?

    Hi guys,
    I got a real trouble with aperture book printing.
    The cover is Ugly it looks like it's scratched over some miles. It's Mate. And it looks printed with a poor inkjet printer.
    Inside the book the photos looks almost correct but in the skies we can see some vertical line. I'm fully unsatisfied I got better result with iphoto books !
    Please Apple do something. I ordered this book from France. Ans I saw on different forums that they can get better quality than this outside France.
    The paper looks very light.
    I'm considering ordering books from blurb. And I feel sorry cause aperture tool to create a book is awsome.
    Did any french photograph experienced this ?
    Regards every one.
    Bye.
    PS : I printed the pdf and checked at 100% the photos looks great.

    Somebody told me this is hardware problem, I make change my battery and charging connector too.
    I don’t know what to do next.. because  I don’t leave any experiment on my stuck phone..
    Note : one  is big issue that apple support team  is also and giving good answer
    I am in Saudi Arabia so I don’t  have any nearest store of Apple.. even Saudi Is Big Consumer of IPhone
    Its Really Bad its big Loss of Money I can’t afford more , Now will not Buy Any IPhone  in future if I don’t get solution..
    Thank You..

  • Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

    Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
    Try these:
    Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
    Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
    See what's loading in your login items.  Delete the ones you don't need.
    Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
    Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
    Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

  • Very Disappointing With BT Lack Of Support !!!

    Hello Everyone
    I would like to know how long a reported line fault takes BT to send out an engineer? As at the present time i have no dialling tone on my phone line to which i have now been unable to use my phone for over 14 days. As my phone connection is not working properly this is also restricting my broadband (ADSL 2 Up To 24mb ) Connection down to just 23kb/s which it now struggles to load most webpages. This is the third time i have had my phone line go dead in the last 24 months but have never waited this long for an engineer to come out !! I'm very disappointed with BT Lack Of Customer Support !! And i have already contacted your support team through your online email service as i'm unable to make any phone calls (Including 999 Emergency Calls If Needed) due to the problem. And so far nothing has been done by BT to solve this problem !!

    Thank you for your reply. My connection is so bad i'm unable to get the webpage of your link to load so i cannot use the page to submit the problem !! It has taken me a number of days just to get this page to load & i supposed to be on super fast ADSL 2 this is a joke i'm not even getting the old 56k dial up speed !! My phone has today just reconnected it'self with a dialing tone It is now extremely crackly you can bearly hear the person that calls which states BT has done nothing to fix the fault again I have already contacted them 3 times already I will try phoning them again tomorrow & this will be there last chance before i either close the account & go with a mobile phone service package or transfer my BT account to a different phone provider to see if someone else out there in the UK can actually send out an engineer to fix the fault !! I have never recieved such poor service ever before so if i have no choice but to leave BT then i will NEVER return in the future  !!

  • Very disappointed with constant updates

    My Arch was working for me very well last fall I need the Aug 07 core disk with the Aug 07 core packages because floppy won't install and some other things that are messed up I'm at a point where I'm not even using Arch right now and I really need to get moving on video game development with open gl.

    carlocci - ROFL
    krazybastid - if you want to get help, please describe specific problems you are experiencing in as much detail as you can. If all you want is the 2007.08 "Don't Panic" ISO, you should really change the topic of this thread.
    And finally - if you truly are "Very disappointed with constant updates", perhaps you should consider using a distro with a regular release schedule. Arch is a rolling release distro, therefore there are constant updates.

  • Very disappointed with Lenovo. Want to contact supervisor.

    I ordered Lenovo Ideapad y410p at Dec 1st, 2013 and order information said estimate delivery date will be Dec 15th, 2013 (not shipping date).
    and they send order delay email Dec 16th, 2013 which is after estimate delivery date.
    How can be this happened? Even they can inform me regards to order delay at estimate ship date.
    I sell my laptop at their estimate delivery date and I couldn`t work because they inform it very lately.
    So I was contact Lenovo and they said they will give me concession for 5% credit back to my account after delivery.
    Finally, I got new laptop at Jan 20th and I was asking them to concession, then wait. but it didn`t get for a week and I ask it again.
    Then, can you believe it? I repeated it 3 times but I still didn`t get it yet.
    the chat assistance said 'I don`t know why, but it didn`t processed and I can`t find record.'
    At now, I feel they don`t want to give my concession. Of course, I already pay for order and they don`t have to do anything.
    I`m fully satisfying with my new laptop and concession is just 5% and I don`t have to get it. however I can`t believe how can this happened.
    Very disappointed with the service of Lenovo.
    If anyone know how can I contact supervisor, let me know.

    dhdhxk,
    I think the best course is to recontact sales and see what can be done - they should be able to help with your escalation.  If you have tried this and have had no luck, please send me your details including order number via a private message and I'll try to arrange further help for you.
    Best regards,

  • I do not what tech. is lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to support turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference btw 4 and 4s and yet 4S can support turn by turn. very disappointed with apple and i will not purchase iphone5.

    I do not know what tech. s lacking in iphone 4 that prevents it to be able to use turn by turn navi. I do not see any difference between 4 vs 4S and yet 4S is able to support it. I am very disappointed with apple as i was when 4S was released. I will not purchase iphone5 becuase i think its nowhere near what apple calls it "perfect". there are plenty of other phone around. Lumia 920 for example is a much better phone. Just disappointed with apple...

    the fine print in the map section states that turn by turn is only available for 4S and up.

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

  • Very disappointed with iWeb 11!

    Very disappointed with iWeb, not all browsers correctly show website/s unless you have superior code skills and knowledge, then what's the point of iWeb, I thought it was suppose to be easy to use and upload your new site??? Various browsers form Firefox and Internet Explorer have viewing issues.
    When will Apple correct this problem?
