You have no luck. Hope it gets fixed soon.

That is the worst luck I have ever heard of when it comes to pc's.

That is why I had to change my operating assumptions to assume that anything that I buy does not work from the start. I will now use this model on all future projects. Even something that is brand new will be assumed to not work until it is tested and proven to work.

What does suck is that if the motherboard is the problem I am no longer going to use water cooling on the motherboard and therefore I wasted a lot of money on that heatsink ect. The good news would be that I get to use this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131390

Ok today a new motherboard and cpu came in. I tested those with my ram and it gave error beeps looking for the gpu. I then placed this same ram in the other computer and could not get any error beeps. Next I swapped the cpus, I took the new cpu and put it in the old motherboard and the old cpu in the new motherboard that I know works. Next I turned the new motherboard on and it produced the same error code asking for a gpu. I then started the old motherboard with the new cpu and it still did not work. Therefore it is currently believed that the new motherboard that I ordered to replace my broken one is also broken. Next I will need to test it outside of the case and then again with the stock heatsinks reinstalled.

Regardless it is very likely that I now have two of the same motherboard go out on me. This motherboard has been known for having problems and it is likely that it even arrived dead. Unfortunately, I think that you only get 7 days for return on the broad or are forced to get fucked in rma wonder land. I have heard of newegg sending rmad boards to replace rmaed boards. I may just refuse to pay the credit card for it and have them deal with it. If the motherboard really is bad than I have no choice but to switch to a different version. I currently use the p6t deluxe however the other versions are not reported to have the same failure rate. Also the new p6t7 ws super computer has come out and that is probably what i will get. It has all the features of my current board but it also supports 7 yes 7 grafix cards all at 16x at the same time! Also it has onboard diagnostics which will make future problems quick and easy to fix and is even compatable with xeon cpus as well as my extreme edition.

wait you didn't buy your parts from newegg??? they have the best customer service out of all the internet warehouses.

Well yea I could rma the board to them but I would much rather have a credit toward a different board. I mean how many of these do I need to go though before it is over!? Also if I buy a different motherboard I can get it overnighted something I can not do otherwise.

At the current rate it could be weeks-months before the computer is working and at that rate I might as well just forget it I mean fuck buy the time it is working the dam parts will not even exist anymore!!111

True that.

Look at the newegg website one day and the next day half the computer parts aren't even available anymore.

Stupid advancement in technology at the exponential rate.

Ok so today I tested the gpu on the test board and ti worked. Therefore I am now 100% sure that the only thing that was ever wrong with the computer was the motherboard. The problem with rma is that at minimum I will get replacement at the end of next week but more likely the week after the week after next. The process time is 2-5 buisness days and then shipping is 5 days and it takes 1-2 days to get there to start with (not counting weekends). I am now deciding if I want to try this motherboard a 3rd time or just order a better one and then use the rma one as a backup...

Ok, because I love you all I decided it was better to get the dam computer working sooner so that I can get to work on the servers. I have ordered the p6t7 ws supercomputer and it will be here on friday. So expect to see my every day next week in the pub pwning you all day long until you throw your poor excuses for computers out the window. Also because there is a significant difference in performance the SBII is now no longer the name. The new computer is now the Silver Bullet 2.1 this makes the SBII the shortest lived computer in the entire lines history (last 10 years) with the longest lasting system being the Silver Bullet I version 0 which still works but just needs a new HDD. The DOA motherboard will be ramed and used as a spare part.

Apparently the new motherboard alone will improve my 3d mark score by 3000 points! Add that to now having 6 instead of 3 sticks of ram running in tipple channel at 2000mhz it will eat the original SBII performance results.

Nice, but you are still going to get owned in the pub!

Psh, keep telling yourself that the ONLY reason you made that decision was for our benefit. I'm sure the better performance had absolutely nothing to do with it...
