Default Horrible Hardware Luck these days :(

After GOOC and all the hardware that failed on me there.

I7 920 that ran so freaking hot it wasn't funny, 70c on stock settings wPrime long :( RMA time for that one.

Then last night an Corsair TX950W PSU that went out, fails paper clip test, fan spins for a sec then stops and will not start 3 MB's have tried. Now because of a build that must go out I have to go buy another PSU someplace in town so this rig can get shipped out, and wait for the RMA PSU to get shipped back and forth :(

Plus a ton of others

All this stuff just adds to the cost of a purchase, yeah they allow RMA's but still have to pay the shipping costs to get it there. Its the crap for being broke and shipping something hurts.

And Giga stil hasn't sent reinbursment for GOOC travel expense :(

Sorry for the rant, just crap is ticking me off these days LOL
