Classy III
Sold/traded my other Classy to a friend thinking I would wait for sandy bridge. But after blowing my gpu scores out of the water but not beating overall scores using P55 chips decided I wanted/needed another X58 board.

I know of a few EVGA folks (some employees & members here) that bench for other teams.   I guess they were just snatched up by them before us.  I think it would be cooler to have it more like the Olympics, and be a country team.

Considering how most of us are nate- that would most likely be a Special Olympics.

Guess your right Nate but it'd be pretty cool if we could get about half the people @ Evga who fold to submit for hwbot...
Also it would have been pretty sweet if sham would have been benched for team Evga

For the first time ever I can boot above 222 QPI . Using classy 3.
Never could boot above 222 on any of my X58 boards.

Where did SniperOZ go?  He is no longer part of EVGA Enthusiasts?
 
Am I crazy?  He used to be, right?

Yes, he used to be.  Snipe left 3-4 weeks ago to bench for i4memory.com (an Aussie team where he is from).  He's still a good bud though. 
 
We just have to keep plugging away at it....patience and persistence will pay off.

Well Sniper and Reggie left around the same time, so we lost tons of points from that.

Re:Get It Colder......2 2010/10/10 10:22:28 (permalink)

 
So, I put my 295 on water. And disaster struck. My brother spilled a small amount of water from a cup on it, got the first PCIe and second PCIe a bit wet, also the PCIe slot had the 295 in it so the gold strip along the bottom was wet. Card redlighted instantly, and then the rig shut down. This was thursday night, and I tried booting today, no go. Red light still. Am I just totally screwed with both dead or is it more likely that it's just the motherboard? (Hopefully just the board)
 
I'm, needless to say, a bit concerned.

I assume you took it all apart to let it dry? Even if you did, try using a hair dryer or heat gun on it for a while, to get as much moisture gone as possible.
 
Do you have another rig to try the card in? Also, if you have another card, try that in the mobo in question. If you do, try that, and that should tell you if your card or mobo is bad.

Another rig to try the 295 in: Negative
Pulled apart to dry: from thursday till today with a fan blowing on it
Another card to try, yup I have my 8800GT, PITA though cause now I have to pull the whole WC system
 
Oh well. I can just use my tech bench setup for testing purposes.
 
Really hope it's the mobo, cause I would rather replace that anyways.

I just need the other top 12 to leave so that I can be in the #1 position.    I already jumped up two positions with Reggie and SniperOZ gone.
 
Why did Reggie leave?  He is still around this forum at least, right?  I am so far behind the times.

Can I RMA it even? I thought you can't when water damage is concerned.

I now promise myself to never watercool my rig. My 295 is just too precious. Sorry Halo that it happened. These 295 cards that we own are awesome.

NOTE: I will be offline from 11/21/16 to 12/15/16. If you have a problem please PM another Mod, as I won't be available to answer you back. Thanks.

That's when you act stupid when you rma the card and don't tell them it has water damage, trust me you aren't the first person to kill a card with water. Or you could tell them it has water damage and get nothing

They sell on eBay for $250, if you can't rma and get a dual they don't seem so precious... But if they gave you a 480 gtx that's different

Halo, Sorry for the 295 issue. 
 
I would take the card apart from the water block and inspect for damage.  There might not be any damage, so I would let it dry a few days.  You could speed up drying by artificial means if you like (hairdryer, heatgun), but don't get too close!
 
Oh, there are dualies left over for RMA purposes.  They stink though....you'll be lucky to get a good one.  If you end up going the RMA route, you will need to talk with evga to request the dual card, or else they might just send out a co-op.

The card has been out since Thursday, I've got the whole rig running on my ghetto test bench right now, so I can swap easily. Wouldn't it have been dry by now?
