I will support my clients AND NOT charge them for the mods; I'll absorb the cost.
With your way of thinking, ANYTHING that happens to that PC for your client, they can in return, blame you for the design, manufacture flaw, and bash your product on the interwebz. How ironic.

I agree, this wasn't a design flaw by the mobo manufacturers, this is what happens when gpu designers build gpu's that are energy hogs and then allow you to run them in SLI/TRI without letting you know that the 24 pin might not be able to handle the load. If anything EVGA should be getting massive props for doing this. They are the only mobo manufacturer actually acknowledging the problem and instituting a solution. @modboxx pretty sure the 770 has the native power mod fix.

i seriously doubt this can make any difference at all. vga cards are not unstable because of power delivery issues from the socket.
and $20 .. cmon ... $3 maybe and they'd still make a ton of profit
if your (evga?) motherboard doesnt work right without it, then you bought a POS motherboard that is not engineered properly[QUOTE\]

Well, Jacob closed the other thread and stated that they sent out 75 free mods and they're not doing any more than that. Well I'm done with EVGA for good. EVGA will get my $20.00 for my personal power mod, and I'll order a few others for my clients. Unlike EVGA, I will support my clients AND NOT charge them for the mods; I'll absorb the cost.
I will never again purchase another EVGA product again unless forced to because of stock shortage.
I wish all of you on the forum the best of luck in the future. For those of you that provided me support---Merry Christmas. For those of you that offered counterpoints (including "fanboys")---Merry Christmas.
For EVGA---May you find lumps of coal in your stockings; boneheads!!

Your prerogative bro, but I think you said yourself that EVGA make the best quality components, so you're not really doing yourself or your clients any favors by refusing to use EVGA branded components in future because of an issue that has relatively negligible cost to fix, and has only effected a fraction of a percent of boards. Also there's the fact that EVGA are the only company to have actually done anything at all about this issue..so feel free to jump to one of the manufacturers who have done nothing at all. This isn't "fanboy" speak, this is just fact. Best wishes to you and your business.

Your fine You dont need power Boost plug.
What would happen if you accidentally touched the naked metal parts connecting the molex connector to the board when it was on? anyone know?

As far as getting "shocked"? Nothing. It's 12v, DC supply so nothing would happen. However, that being said, it's never a good idea to be working on your mobo, with "live" juice going to it.

yeah your right, sometimes I am lazy though, just wanted to make sure nothing too adverse would happen. That said there is not really anything around that area that you would need to tinker with.

For those who have had a 790I Ultra :
With the known Vdroop on this mobo would i benifit from this with my Current Corsair Hx1000 and 480's in SLI(Oc'ed or not same issue) ?
My PSU at idle (GPU's downclocked atm) is showing
+12 - 11.88
+5 - 4.87
I know it dips lower underload .My qx9770 is @ 4.0 and im runnning 8 gigs of DDR3 @ 1600 L/S
I do have random complete system lockups ,none of them get fully recorded in Eventlogs so im guessing its a power stability issue .Would this benefit me or is it cut and dry i need to move on to a 1200W PSU ?

its been said before,its not EVGA fault this even needs to be a part ,the fact they took the time and effort to even make it is lets see ...100% more then ANY other vendor has done .Why should EVGA be punished and expected to offer this FREE to everyone who wants one when no one else even bothered to address the issue ?Kind of a double standard to hold the company who stepped up and offered a fix responsible to provide it for free,while expecting and demanding nothing from the others who still sit idle doing nothing and offering nothing isnt it ?
I guess if one hears a rumor 3 times it makes it a fact. Blah Blah blah. "Quit picking on EVGA" wah wah wah.

EVGA is a company like everyone else. if this issue had been know it would have solved long ago. the company has made a solution for the issues and you can bet all highend motherboards will have the molex connector now imo. Put high end gpus in any motherboard such as the 400/500 series and the same issue occurs, some sooner than other. the GPU manufactures are pushing the limits imo and now the motherboard manufatures will need to adjust. faulty mother board imo no, just cant handle the load that was unknown at the time.

Like has been said from day one.
If the issue occurs we will either give you a new motherboard that has the fix, or a power boost.
To date this issue is extremely rare, only a few confirmed cases.
So I guess you're willing to sit back as EVGA and allow the forum Cronies to keep this up instead of having anything official from EVGA?????? Pathetic! What a role model for New Corporate strategy? Sean EDIT: please link me to that information to back up that claim, as I have been following this and have no recollection of any such EVGA statement. Not calling you a liar, just saying that I think you are embibing a bit much so far before Christmas. There have been posts stating contrary to the "we'll work with you" junk claims as well.

you guys need to understand this subject is very sensitive and required alot of research before anyone can say anything official. they have offered a fix weather member like it or not, weather free or pay you still got one. jacob is correct and there are few case of this happening and its not affecting everyone, so to find an exact cause when the variables are to far different from each other is hard to do, thus comming up with a 100% answer for anyone. imo its safe to say there were no issues when the same mb's in question on the forums here with the 200 series gpus. now the 400/500 there is with the same motherboards in some fashion.

Yes, the power boost is a none sofware item that soly increases stable power on the 12v PCB lines throughtout the board, it does not care what you have in your computer or who makes it, its just a universal power mod.

EVGA is doing what they can imo to accomidate user of there motherboards imo. i agree it would be nice if evga replaced every motherboard without the molex, but instead of replacing them the better solution is to fix them with the powerboost. this issue was unknow at the time the motherboards were manufactured so of course they could not do anything. now the issue has appeared and the fix was created. just becuase on company replaces motherboards, does not mean everyone should. each company handles there issues differently. im not say its a good thing or bad for them to decide to make a fix instead of a motherboard replacement. this issue will be argued for sometime with people who are grateful just to have a fix and people who think otherwise and want somethig different to make them happy. btw- you wise crack are not welcome

Be nice now, or the EVGA gremlins, moderators, or forum moderators/powers at be (i.e. Jacob) might shut this thread down to for "verbal abuse" of one of their "chosen ones." Remember, EVGA's satraps are well protected and even get first shot at special promotions/give aways for their allegiance.
