Sapphire Technologies has just made my shit list for the issues I am having the HD3870X2 & broken fan support. Fraking thing idles @60C due to the fan not ramping up as it gets hot due to some glitch in the BIOS or something.
They expect me to deal with Newegg, who offer no refunds & now I know why, when it's not just my card it's all of them or least my revision for sure. Now they expect me to pay to send it to them so they can send me another defective (after all there's no fix yet). I told 'em I drag them into small claims court 1st since I got $400 invested! Also add to the list as the worst user support board in the form of the "official" unofficial Sapphire forums ruled over by GreenGekko and his butt buddy Rubenos. Both must be Europeeons because they've been saying lovely thing about us "yanks". Any rate I got banned for posting some findings about the fan issue which were censored without detailed explaination & I questioned why. So folks, spend your funds somewhere else because official & unofficial this smells of BS! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
