Tragic death of GTX 580 MATRIX PLATINUM

[GanTreFTW]

I'm so sorry because that happened to you. You should get a refund or something, this is not right.

P.S Can you tell me please the name of the song you put on the video?

[pym480]

@GanTreFTW Well, I got new cards a week after this happend, so I'm happy again :)

The song is Chris medina - What are words.

[brushandbolter]

[Kole208]

so should i get this card or no?

[pym480]

@Kole208 you definitely should! Awesome cards with lots of power.

[Kole208]

@pym480 but yours burnt up i dont want that to happen to me?!?!

[pym480]

@Kole208 wel, it have not happend since the first time :D you always have waranty on the cards so I say no worries.

[Kole208]

@pym480 cant it hurt your motherbord to? and when its red does that mean you should stop and turn off your pc?

[MachineMezziah]

@Kole208 No, the red color only means that the CPU usage is reaching 100%.

[MachineMezziah]

@Kole208 For nearly the same price, you can get an EVGA GTX 580 Classified ULTRA, it has a higher default memory and GPU clocks, it has TWICE the amount of memory and supports higher overclockings, and as a plus, it's just a dual slot card, not triple slot like the Matrix 580.

[xG4m3rJ4m3z]

Should I get this or the evga gtx 580 superclocked?

[pym480]

@xG4m3rJ4m3z well, for OC I would pick this card,, but EVGA has longer waranty.

[MachineMezziah]

@xG4m3rJ4m3z Get the EVGA GTX 580 Classified ULTRA, has twice the memory amount, higher clocks and overclocks even further.

[HackingDutchman]

whooo man! what was you doing if that card got burned that way? :P

[pym480]

@HackingDutchman Well, the only thing I did was to run Unigine heaven for 2-3 minutes, and then the backplate shorted the cards.

[InfiniteSaviour49]

My EVGA GTX 580 Sends it's condolences.

[AaronJDonat]

I'm really thinking about getting this card for my new build. Do these cards have a much of a bow to them without a gpu retention bracket? I can't tell from the video. And are the solder points really that close to the back plate?

[pym480]

@AaronJDonat Hi!

They do have some bow to them, but the good part is that ASUS knew this and designed the cooler to match the bow of the card.

The solder points are normaly not that close to the backplate, it was just my card that was a little bent and then it was to close.

[scottycatman]

Funeral Invites?

[claptonman]

What kind of power supply was this on?

[pym480]

@claptonman Enermax Revolution 85+ 1250w :)

[TheEGGtech]

[PaladinBarre]

:( What happened? 

[pym480]

@PaladinBarre

The soldering on the left 8 pin touched the backplate of the top card.

But no worries, I will have a new card in about a week :)

[PaladinBarre]

@pym480 Tur :D Hoppas inte min brinner upp :D Ska köpa en på måndag :D

[pym480]

@PaladinBarre

De ena funkar fortfarande, och kan säga att där e bra kraft i de!

Du kommer säkert bli nöjd! ;)

[PaladinBarre]

@pym480 Ska bygga en ny dator för Battlefield 3 :D Alltid velat ha ROG komponenter :D Detta blir min första :D

[pym480]

@PaladinBarre

ROG e fint de :P har alltid byggt med ROG moderkort och tyckte de var ett självklart val att även ha ROG grafikkort nu när mina GTX 480 gick bort. BF3 kommer inte vara något problem för detta kortet!
