The bad part about buying a used Classy is they won't RMA if needed. Unless I buy from someone willing to do the RMA. Also if they find vasloine in the socket its another $30.

first of all... yeah wont rma second hand... YES


as for vaseline... why? i havent used vaseline in a socket for a long time.... theres no point to it man...

Always thought that was a must do? Even when using a chiller you dont need jelly in the socket?

Seems like if you want a preformance X58 you have to pay through the nose unfortunatly .... paid 4 bills for my Classy new .... but worth every penny .... ripped off like 900 boints with it so far ..... my RMA is in the mail .......

Get banished noooo what would I do then? lol maybe join the OCA , my focus atm is Hwbot. Whatever hardware for a decent price that can produce points is what I'm going after.

If I went for broke on the mobo it would have to be a new EVGA 4-sli. Shammy has tons of bios tweaks and updates over at Kingpincooling.com.

I have run SS, DICE, and LN2 all without anything in the socket.

if you are good at prepping and sealing around the socket you wont need anything in the socket
