Yesterday, after seven years of flawless performance, my E762 burnt out. I was running X5670 in it. Luckily, I was able to find E760 Rev. 1.1 on ebay so I will be able to keep using Westmere EP, but I am still sad. Wanted to thank EVGA for making great products that let me express myself and experience games to their fullest potential. Here is a little something I wrote for the occasion  . EVGA X58 Classified 4-way SLI E762 RIP 2010 - 2017 You radiated performance the moment I took you out of the box. Old case could not contain you, so I found you a better home. Overclocked since day one, you never gave up; you adjusted to all the changes I threw at you. We fought benchmarks and temperatures. Through all of it you were silent, but I felt you whisper “We can do it buddy. Give me a chance.” You inspired Bloomfield and Westmere EP to go beyond their normal capabilities. Sometimes it was hard for you but I wanted more so I pushed you somewhere I should not have. I am sorry. You stayed with me after many things went away: GTX 275, GTX 465 SLI, GTX 580 SLI, GTX 670 SLI, Corsair 750W, Corsair Dominator GT 6GB, and Corsair H70. New motherboards and CPUs came out. I stuck with you. Becoming older and older, you never let up. Underdog that took on new tech. All things and people eventually cease to exist. I was a fool to think you will be by my side forever. We had a lot of good times that I will remember as long as my memory sectors don’t get corrupted. Your struggle is over. You won. Rest in peace buddy.

Hello jettaboy5 and welcome to the Forums! I did pull up your account and I see there is an E762 registered that has a limited lifetime warranty. I also noticed you have not contacted us regarding the issue. I think we would be able to assist you with a replacement based on the information and of course the awesome poem you submitted! I have just PM'd you. Please respond back and I should be able to assist you in getting a replacement!

EVGA X58 Classified 4-way SLI E762 alot of the Classified stuff carries a 10 years /lifetime warranty. Call evga and find out. I had that motherboard take a dump on me too and EVGA gave me a X79 as a replacement. Also when this x79 takes a dump they will replace it with something newer. Its why I spend 600 bucks on motherboards. click MEMEBER in the upper left hand corner and My PRODUCTS to start the RMA process. Newegg will have your sales info under my orders.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, one needs to have 10 posts to use PM feature and I don't have even that much. I will call customer service and get ticket to submit RMA.

Reading this almost brought a tear to my eye. My E762 is still going strong slightly overclocked. Nothing could make me part with it, except the X599 chipset with Jacob's flair for the over build.

Lol, but in all seriousness that is sad. EVGA was hitting home runs when they released that line of mobos and nothings been better, not that its entirely EVGA's fault though.
