i know the title is click bait ish, however it is true I finally after 9 years retired my old x58 rig after building myself a lower end side threadripper rig although the x58 classy 3 mobo is still working the psu and storage drives were salvaged for the room mates pc so it isn't up and running anymore. with that having been said, I will NEVER purchase or recommend evga ever again and I will advise everyone to make a backup of your registered product page ( screen shot) because evga is BAD about changing purchase dates, and locations, in my case they had sent me gtx 560tis for some lifetime warranty cards I sent in only for evga to register them as being bought from micro center and another comper store, funny thing is I have only ever used microcenter once and it was to buy a Q6600 cpu back in the day.
anyway long story short evga is NOT reputable, current quality of products being put out by evga tends to be expect failure right after warranty period expires if they don't manipulate registration to end your warranty sooner.
a free bit of advice for anyone reading this before you EVER call evga do basic troubleshooting breadboard etc. because the first tech you get will be in a hurry to get you off the phone ( they have a max of 10 minutes to assist and tehn they will just tell you to reseat, breadboard, etc).
so i would like to say been fun but sadly it hasn't, evga lost all my respect when they hosed me on my videocards and no matter whom I talked to they refused to fix the problem they created in the first place.
lastly I really don't see a need to submit an rma on my old x58 because 1 it is still in working order and 2 it is not like they will replace it with an X299 or Z390 anyway ( x58 was HEDT so closest to it im my opinion is X299 but that is just my opinion).
anyway good bye rainstryke, and the rest of you guys your friendship over the years has meant a lot to me however im afraid my disgust and disappointment for evga just makes it impossible to come on the forum regularly and make a post without me bringing up the issue I had or me bashing the company ( which i can do that on any forum without fear of posts getting deleted by mods and admin looking to hide truth, facts, and genuine customer complaints and concerns.
so good bye all, hope you to will one day realise the company just isn't what it once was.
i am offended by your sig so you need to remove it.
