FAULTY DCUII's so many

[Sarg_Scorpio]

Hey so after spending 4 months getting pissed at ASUS im gona post here for you all to see. I brought about 4 months ago a NEW HD 6970 DCU II go it home used it for 1-2 before finding out the GPU temp of 60-100 was way off so took it back to retailer go anther one ..... guess what lol same issue...... So took that back to the retailer and go a 7950 cause no more 6970 in stock.... was made to pay more so i could have a working card that day or i would have to send it off and have no card till it gets back...... so go the 7950 home and guess what lol faulty too the beam on the side doesnt hold the DCU cooling gystem up and it slips off the GPU and it start to get hot in seconds... pus hteh beam back to where it should be cool in a second. sooo back down to the retailer again.. and no more 7950 in stock soooooo PAY more for a 7970 however this has much better cooling than any more the other cards... I just cant believe 4 faulty cards to get 1 that works.... lol what a joke. Then i spoke to asus via email and gave them the serials of the faulty cards which they confirmed, They i get told please contact our quality service to let them know about this. Should they not pass this on why do i have to start a whole new case again. Now tho i have to look at returning this 7970 card cause it appears to be faulty video memory making it blue screen all the time....... wont do it in games or anthing and sometimes last a day ok but just like now on the desktop can do it 3 times in 30 mins.... So i dont know maybe ill leave ASUS rate as i feel like thier quality has turned to crap and the same with thier customer service.

PS ASUS you have posted on your site and all your customer reps saying GPU 3.0 will be out in march.... pssst its April now and still nothing......... now you say lol its the Q3 lol what ever, since when would tell the public that im sure you would say a month. ASUS stop making your self look like your quality has gone to nothing.... Also needed the 3.0 update to fix the VRM temp issue with the 7970 since you released GPU tweak with it but it had no idea how to read the new VRM temps... so hence why i want the new one that works... not a beta which i had to go find.

that's sure is a weird one, that defeats the whole purpose of having these beasts cards.

anyways, something i picked up from the OC forum about the BSOD many of us suffered with...get this... You need to enable the PAGEFILE in windows, that damn useless piece of wasted space, is for some mystical reason required, even when you have more than enough (32GB) RAM required to run any thing in the PC :rolleyes:

enabling that stopped a lot of those random BSOD.

why in the sane world would a Driver developer required the SWAP file to be there, unless the PC is lacking memory resources.

I never disable my Page File (swap). It's always left on and managed by Windows since Windows 7 can actually manage it properly, unlike Windows XP. If you disable it you also break Windows' error tracking as it requires the page file in order to do a dump when you BSOD.
