OCP kicking in on a card that's designed to eat voltage? WTF?

My problem now is whether to refund this card and buy fermi or exchange for another lightning and see if I get a good one ......... and buy fermi lol

[ReverendMaynard]

personally, I would get the refund buy a fermi and get those fresh boints.

LOL yes I am horribly impatient, and my wife would disagree about how good a trait that is

This card needs 1.3v to run 1000mhz, I just dont see AB or bios fixing a turd core.

I really wanted to break this card in half yesterday, the only thing that stopped me was the $500 price tag

you could always just put a dent in it, then work it out, then send it back...or just send that piece of shit back. I would get another one, and specify a "new" one, bench that, then sell it.
