How many mobos have people went tho so far finally got a new e-758 from the egg yesterday hooked it up outside the case dead again.I'm just wondering how many do i gotta go tho before i get a working one cause this is my second one seems to be a high death rate aka higher then 360 rrod.

My E758 is just fine.

It has been found that in 90% of instalation problems, cause can 100% attributable to hardware located between chair and keyboard. Please check to make sure individual component is fully functional before placing into installation process.

In short term, user error is no doubt the cause here.

Give full list of system components and instalation process.

It's amazing the number of computers that are afflicted with PEBKAC.

So was the board a new board from Newegg or was it an RMA from EVGA? I doubt a new board would have bent pins.

Is this an "open box" sale? You get what you pay for. If you buy "open box" expect stuff like this. Other than that, you cite one board only, we still have to suspect something else is wrong. You still haven't told us your other components, incl the PSU, and your testing conditions. Are you installing the CPU, RAM, and vid card when testing? Are you connecting the PCIe vid card power connectors? Are you connecting the 8-pin mobo power connector?

You see, your complaints mean NOTHING (exc the bent pins) without more info.


Come on, I challenge you, put up or shut up. If you don't have the mental resources nor the patience to explain your procedures and your system specs you prob shouldn't be building your own computer and then complaining about your problems due to your shortcomings either.

I have 2 psu hx1000 and pc&c 750watt the hx is only a day old and i hook everything that is needed up cpu ram etc.... but i have 2 core i7 one a 920 and the other is a 930 the 930 i just got in on wed. and the 920 i had last year ram is g.skills 1333 going pick up a new set of corsair later today to test with.Also have 2 video cards 480 and 275. ShockTheMonky everything had there wrappings still on just like if you brought one from a store and brought the mb from the egg brand new no open box sell.

The bent pins concern me as they should you. Did you take the pic before or after you tested it? The pins shown would have been obvious to the naked eye. If I had seen them like that, I would have called Newegg straight away.
 
Also, if you did test, was it with 920 or 930?

STM, he said in his post he did not try that.

When i tested the first board i got i put my three memory in the gray slots.I'm just going rma this mobo back to newegg and try picking up the classified this time.I wanted the mobo to begin with so maybe it's a sign i shouldn't try buying a e-758.

Wow, i have been threw reviews at the egg and also been looking threw the forums here and i can say that im more than a little worried now as i have advised a friend to purchased this board.. In fact im building his rig for him when all the parts come in..

I should have done my research better i think.. I love EVGA products and there warranty service and as such i told my friend to grab it faster than i could actually read anything about it.. Hot Vregs, bad SATA ports, bad ethernet ports, multiple DOA boards, after market coolers not fitting , power supply QVL limited, and limited QVL for ram.. 

*sigh*

User error is surely to blame for some of this but not all of it..  GL to you ryu4000

Well you shouldn't sweat the QVL's, Ex0duS_5150. As far as RAM goes, as long as it is 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM it will work, in threes if you want to take advantage of the speed of triple-channel (but steer clear of OCZ). As far as the PSU:

Yeah, for me building my X58 and getting it to work correctly was a MAJOR PITA! And it seems it is not limited to EVGA mobo's, I have seen similar complaints on the Asus forum. The problems seem to be common to X58 systems. If you want an easier build, I recommend a P55 system. BTW, EVGA X58 often has more room for your CPU cooler, particularly where using RAM W/tall heatsinks, bc EVGA puts the memory a little farther away from the CPU than most others.

I Absolutely love your nick name HalloweenWeed 

You know, im not so much worried about the complexity of overclocking this board at all.. I love a challenge and have 1 x58 build under my belt so im not entirely in the dark about it.. Im more concerned with the board lasting longer than a year or month, week, lol.. Issues that  might be present at the time if the build due to the board.. If this was my own personal machine and not going to someone that knows very little about the hardware side of things, i wouldn't be so concerned.. I just dont want to have to deal with RMAs, for him.. I just hope the build goes smoothly for him/me,  so he doesn't have to wait, or be worried about the quality of the parts.. Of course who doesn't right?

Ahhh ok, my bad... Naaa hes not gonna want to overclock to far, 3.6Ghz is what i said we should shoot for..

I had 2 X58 3 way sli boards have missing resistors that fell off but the final one I recieved from EVGA has been running for awhile now the older 758 design. Been running the same classified too for awhile now.

Well thanks guys.. Just went to frys and got an x58 ftw3 and  this board is doing the same thing!! I have the board outside the case on the box it came in, one stick of ram, 2 sticks of ram, 3 sticks of ram, nothing same thing it goes threw some post codes then restarts the process all over again.. Just wont post..

Weve tried 3 diffrent power supplys, a different CPU, with and with out video card and it just goes threw the post codes for about 2 seconds then dies and then restarts.. So idk man we are really stuck at this point.. 2 bad boards from 2 different places?? Same manufacture...

At this point im advising him to get an asus board i guess.. Dont know what else to do hes not wanting to deal with this and frankly nither am i..

Thanks for the responses

HalloweenWeed, The humidity is 80% right now, lol and i know about the static shock thing and no im 99.99% sure it has nothing to do with static discharge.. Im on a tile floor working on a wooden table.. We are very careful with hardware.. So frustrated at this point..
