It's amazing how nvidia makes the cards that draw more power than they are supposed to but EVGA the company that makes the cooler is blamed for the problems. I don't understand the logic, unless you're just here to complain.

And EVGA sells us the MOBO, has a forum to show us how to OVERVOLT/OVERCLOCK the same cards that they sell for the same MOBO's that were designed for a lesser SPEC and wonders why a customer would be pissed??????????????????????????
 
I take that back, I'm sure EVGA knows all about it. They do/say nothing but let the rabid dogs loose in this forum to attack/chase away any dissenting point of view.
 
Pathetic (repeat as neccessary). as always YMMV

Well I have a Gigabyte mobo it happened on, and as of yet EVGA are the ONLY ones addressing this problem.  If not for this power boost coming out, I would have to sell my mobo for a loss and buy one with a power mod, there goes another $350...  Other manufacturers are just sitting around and waiting for motherboards to blow, and then trying to get out of replacing them by saying it was the users fault.
 
At least EVGA is doing something proactive.

this is still a good debate as long as we keep any personal attacks out of it.

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.

That is a factually invalid statement. My E759 had PCIe Power/stability issues running 3X GTX295's. I simply recognized the problem and stopped running 3 of them.
I remember all the anal suggestions to "GET a Bigger PSU" on not only this forum but many others by "rank Ametuers" all the while this forum was being monitored By EVGA. Hell, it was recommended several times that I'm aware of by MOD's/EVGA Tech's. Did I say for these boards as well? Just did. I understand how someone without a substantive electrical background would consider that as EVGA condoning and warranting the board's ability to perform as such.
As far as designing it to a spec code goes... that means nothing. The board fell short in design per how EVGA marketed it. Ask Dell about their fiasco with the XPS630i. They still haven't recovered from that PR firestorm. In fact their market share dropped even with their Buisiness end bolstering. Ask EMD locomotive division how bad Marketing/customer service decisions can take a company from 70% market share to bankrupt in 7 years. The list goes on and on and on and on (repeat as required).
Bottom line is, EVGA is in the Customer arena and they should be very aware of the way they treat Customers (or Allow customers to be treated where these forums are concerned). This IS an open Forum and all threads are open game for internet "drive-by" viewings AFAIK. Allowing this brow-beating by the RAH-RAH crew does not look good for EVGA.  EVGA worked very long and hard to build their Customer Support reputation. Hard to build... Easy to lose.  Just sayin'....
 
I'd personally like to see EVGA stick around as I'm pleased overall with the products that I have. I'd love to see what they're bringing for "Sandy". Just know that when a company gets a reputation for simply doing it better as opposed to doing it "RIGHT", then $ are the main concern for the customer. EVGA high end stuff is overpriced to say the least. I pay it for the peace of mind, knowing their past record for "making it right". That record seems to be changing where this issue is concerned. That troubles me as a loyal HW consumer.

How is their record for 'making it right' tarnished here? They said if you are effected by this rarely-occurring issue, they will replace the board. No ifs or buts there. In addition, they have also issued a limited pile of power boost dongles for free to many active EVGA forum users who have systems that could be remotely at risk, and are offering that same solution for anyone else for a measly $20 - this isn't a charity after all! Now think - what have other manufacturers done? NOTHING. Well, sounds like EVGA are still the one manufacturer "making it right" to me...
 
Enough with the bashing already. It's all been said a hundred times over, and is achieving nothing. The solution has been identified and has been so popular it is already out of stock, with more coming in a couple of weeks. Users of non-EVGA boards are also trying to order these PCIe power boosters, so if nothing else, that really negates your claim that EVGA is failing here.
 
You are entitled to your opinion of course, but my opinion is that this power booster shows that EVGA are, as usual, the one company that DOES continue to "make it right".

It is obvious that you have your opinion and it goes along with the rest of the "Minions" and has been said thousands of times. There's just like a kagillionmore of the "rah-Rah bunch".
 
There is no "Bashing" going on and never has been. There has been a solution by EVGA but NOT a FIX. A fix would actually be "making it right" as opposed to "marketing it right". As far as being "already out of stock" whooplah goes, they never made enough to begin with so I'm just guessing that they'd run out... and did.
 
As far as non EVGA purchasers go negating my claim at EVGA's failure goes, 99% of them are paranoid and wasting their money (Electrically speaking). You sound like an INFOMERCIAL.
 
**** Nicely hidden away by Jason and EVGA also, I need to add. What's this?? If The forum cronies can't chase a customer complaint away, the Mods relocate the thread so that the OP drops off the original page? It used to be a sticky, then moved to thread, now will vanish.  Why not leave it as a Sticky???  I guess I'd do the same if I wanted to hide something.

IMO, a solution has been presented, This solution, is but one option, we are each allowed to accept or reject it, For $20, it seems like a Good deal to me. If however you can present a solution, for less, I would be more than happy to send you my $20, as apposed to them, providing it seems a better deal. I would also be willing to review Asuses $20 solution. If you do not mind, could you please provide a link to it, so we can review it as well. The way I see it, is we all have a vote, we vote with our cash, anyone can compeate for that cash. If you do not like the results of your last vote, don't vote the same way again, Doing so, and expect diffrent results, is not a good busness decision. I look forward to reciving your links.

Well no wonder they went way fast people where getting 2 or more of them.....

I say kudos to evga for bringing out this fix. i just dont like the fact they are charging $20 for it they have put pcie power plug on in the past so why on earth did they choose to get sli capable boards made with out them? this is not about foreseeing boards melting the 24pin connector. that's why we pay for evga we know they are great boards and they will back them. i would make it so that people that have a registered evga x58 board with you that does not come with a pci plug already get it for 5-10 dollars start including it with your boards that are already in production even if you have to charge 5-10 more and future boards need to have them built in if they are sli capable.

 
 "this is not about foreseeing boards melting the 24pin connector". ,I have only seen the power plugs from the PSU burnt not the board connectors and it's the video cards drawing the power not the board, not that I looked for the issue . when I did see it[in these forums], I felt it was a what ever as some people can't plug a 500.00 dollar video card in, or take more than 2 seconds to drop a cpu onto 1366 pins, and you think those people will take the time to plug the main power plug into the board with out jamming it back and forth ,expanding the female side of the plug -making the current transfer surface smaller- causing a over heated connection. could be why some people have issues and some not [I think only a few people had this issue ,any one know ?- did a poll maybe] I remember seeing two.
-maybe some one could get some pic-e extenders on see how much more does a gtx480 draws past the 75watts the slot is rated for.
-why are people raging on evga if a PSU power plug burns up ? I could see it if board traces were burning.
-in general why even use the pic-e power[75w] on 200-400 watt[sub zero]  video cards so video card makers can get away with a 6 & 8 pin cards[good for PR] -put two 8 pins on the card for all high end products and be done with it.--have spec's changed if need be.
-new cards are coming out with power limiters and everyone try's to hack it ,then turn around crying my mb is defective or give me free fix .
-NOT saying everyone is at fault that had a burn out ,but the odds are evga isn't either.
-just my .02 I think a lot of comments made over this at evga was uncalled for.
-if you can't sleep over this spend the 20.- and pull some cards out until you get one.
-but I would highly recommend people should check the main power plug and tighten it up if were running many cards.
-and replace those batteries in your smoke detector

I don't want your money. I'm not looking at any other MFGR's solutions. What part of "I bought EVGA and don't give a SSSS about what others are doing" are you having a problem with?????
 
As for the link, find it yourself as I'm AGAIN not concerned with your constant diversive/logically ignorant excuses where this issue is concerned. I can say that several have posted that something crazy like RMA upgrade was done by ASUS.
 
Anyhoo, I simply thank GOD that I did not have the responsibility of getting you any education/intelligence as a teacher. I now see that it was not their fault. Your Overdramatised, helping EVGA answer is.... "Go buy something else or shut up"???????????? THAT is the best you can come up with??????Sorry EVGA's customers have already purchased EVGA product. However, I'm sure that if they RMA'd the board for a full refund for their development negligence (imo). I'd take the cash and go ASUS so that I'd never have to deal with "Rah-Rah" here again.

And you sir, keep missing my Point, Take the solution offered, or wait on another, matters not to me what choice you make. I just cannot tell you how long you will have to wait. When you are given two choices, you can pick one, when it's take it or leave it, you still have a choice. EVGA said they will work with people one on one, once they experience the problem, your well within your right to wait until you do.
 
Oh, and actually you did pay for my education, assuming you pay taxes, Active duty Tuition is paid 3/4 by Uncle Sam, and 1/4 by VEP.

You don't read well. I said "responsible for teaching". I pay for morons in public school through my taxes all the time. 
I work for a living, don't call me sir. You however are missing the point. You got it free... others gotta pay??? What's up with that EVGA?  When given 2 choices you can pick one of the wrong choices OR you can fight for the Correct choice to be put "on the table".
You've been under water for like WAY too long. Get a Lawyer and sue uncle Sam.

I did get one for free, it's referred to as Beta testing, and I reported my findings, When the option to sign up for another was posted, I was on line, and could have been one of the 75 to request another, ( But chose not to ); share the wealth so to speak, Yes I need more, but chose to wait and pay for them, I also posted that I would be willing to Give up some of my Folding bucks to EVGA if they would use the proceeds to help those that couldn't afford it. But I guess you missed that, the offer still stands, if EVGA will set up a way to give. As I understand there are those that expect a hand out, and those that need one.

@boomer  This problem is mostly with 480's because they are such power hogs.   Sometimes in SLI, mostly in Tri-Sli...   I doubt your 5850 will overload it.

Hello!
I assemble computers in Uruguay, but not well what is the function of this technology launched by EVGA, more energy in the PCI-E, can not bring down the port? I have doubts?
I could explciar briefly! Thanks!

I know EVGA has said they will work with anyone this happens to, but who is liable for the repair to the PSU, not like its fun replacing 24 pins and the connector to see if the unit still works once you get a replacement mobo.
 
I can't be the only one who is wondering this.

Thankfully for me I bought Antec because I have had to rma a PSU to them before.  Within a matter of hours they responded, at 1 am eastern time.  The next morning I shot off pics of what happened and an explanation and they approved the rma for replacement.   I bought my TPQ-1200 before EVGA came out with their version of the same PSU.
 
I guess it all depends on who you are dealing with.

Why that SIMPLE fact escapes some is beyond my ability to comprehend.
