Sorry, but we will not be bringing back any of the deleted posts. They were deleted for a reason and bringing them back would be unproductive. If you have questions about what constitutes a TOS violation here is a link to the Terms of Service. http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=4682 As an example of a TOS we can use one of the more common ones like off topic posting. Your quoted question above would be an example of such. It pertains to a question on the TOS but is posted in a thread about a powerboost module.

I will continue to delete off topic posts. If the post does not relate specifically to the power boost just consider it as disappearing as soon as I see it. Why waste your time posting something you now know will not be there in a few moments?

Just looking for an update on the shipment of these. I applied for the free one within the 75 limit and have not heard anything since. Curious when they will begin shipping them is all.

Sorry, but... Good news/Bad News. If you got anything back from EVGA regarding the 75... good news Bad news: if you've heard nothing from EVGA... EVGA is claiming stock for orders (normal AFAIK) shipping early quantitis Early JAN '11. I'd call to verify whether you are marked as "IN" for the next shipment. JIMO... YMMV Sean

I think I was very 1st one to sign up for free one and I still haven't heard anything. I don't think EVGA had any quantities of these to send other than to certain people to test and/or were having serious issues. Seems none will start shipping until next month sometime at the earliest (even the free ones).

Just out of curiousity I just spent over 3k on a new computer. I have the new Classified 3 (E770) with 2 EVGA GTX580 FTW HC2 in SLI. On top of that my cpu is oc'd to 4.4 GHz. Is this something i need to consider i checked my voltages and my 12v is running at 12.11 Am i at risk of drawing too much power through my 24 pin and risking a burn out or has this problem been resolved with the new Classified 3 boards. After spending that much on a build i'd hate to be crippled due to a blown pin on my 24 connector.

Its all plugged in now running at 12.18 on the 12v i haven't started overclocking the cards but maybe this will help with some of the issues i've been getting while gaming.

Hm, I was wondering if this might help the incredibly low overclocking headroom I've been experiencing with my GTX580, In GPU-Z, my 12v rail seems to vary from 11.89 to 11.91, which looks pretty low. My overclocks at 1.15v are lower than what I've seen some people get at less than 1.1v I'm definitely interested in this part if it can help out my situation.

It can help stabilize the +12V rail in some cases.

They said earlier in thread it won't be going out until early January, if you got in that first 75. Did you get a confirmation email?

so i understand that this addresses a problem with 24 pin connectors overheating, but what exact configurations of hardware caused this problem to begin with? should i be worried about my gtx470sli?

Hello,
I bought an Asus sound card Xonar D2X PCI-Express and wont fit in the MB, so had to buy the Creative labs one and still waiting. I have EVGA X58 SLI Classified + 2 x GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 and an Asus ENGT 240 for Physix, Seem all free slots are covered, I wonder if this power boost can be placed under the cards, I mean in free slots covered by cards.
Thanx

I have been following this new product with interest! My psu just died and I am in the process of rmaing it. My question is do you think that the power boost will relieve stress off of the psu all together? I know that it is supposed to help with the strain on the 24pin, but do you think that power boost will help with the rest of the psu as well?

Don't feel lonesome, I just did the same thing but hadn't checked my email since earlier in the day and it appears the email that said they were in was sent out at 2:30PM or so and you gotta be quick around here since there a so many that want one from around the world. Looking at the post just before yours though they haven't been out for long since he got one 5 hours ago. Better luck next time for both of us...

I don't know why a company would try to charge its own customer for a design flaw "fix". It should be free of charge to anyone that owns a EVGA X58 mobo. That would make customers feel better.
It's called "Cover up the design flaw so they dont have to admit flaw's" and with such a great company you would wonder why they would not admit it and offer this for free to cut down on the cost of rma's.Oh well,nobody's perfect and they had to slip up sooner or later.I still prefer their product's over most other's for the customer service and hope this is a isolated incident!

is this why my TAGAN power supply fried????
I have the Cosmos S case and it comes with an extra extention on the 24 pin cable to run power to the touch / power on button. I noticed when my Tagan stopped working that the extra 24 pin extention/ connection had black burn marks on it lol. I did not know a design flaw caused my PSU to go down the drain.
When it happened i had 2 x 480's in SLI being benched/ volted along with my 980x at 4.7 and my LSI raid card in a slot as well + 6 sticks of ram -_-..
DO i need to buy one of these to save myself from this design flaw for the future? Please let me know so i do not lose another 1200 watt PSU
