Thanking whatever fates that I didn't buy an eVGA board to SLI stuff with my Q9550. Be keeping my Asus P5Q Pro, and at least Asus seems to have a sensible RMA policy and non-dillweed techs who don't blame their incompetence on the customer.

Oh sure, why not. Haven't bought EVGA stuff, but probably won't for a good long time, if ever....I have yet to hear XFX RMA stories about "oh, some pins were bent on your board, so we'll have to charge you for your DOA board."

While I haven't bought a new eVGA product in a few years I'm boycotting because of the way they've been treating their customers as of late. I won't buy from a company if I know that they'll do their best to screw me over.

this ^^^

Ive gone thru 3-4 RMAs thru EVGA, one was a step up on a card, the other 3 was defective mobos that they sent out to me. Everytime they were more than happy to help and cross ship me another motherboard. They have been helpful everytime I call and I had a guy on the phone with me for about 20 minutes troubleshooting why my mobo had a red light, it ended up being the bios chip wasnt set right.

Anyways, I have received very good support from EVGA, so I wont boycott, even tho they sent me 2 crap mobos, they replaced them right away.

EVGA FTW!

It's sad how people are boycotting from others experiences, I as some others on here have had absolutely wonderful RMA experiences.
