Well, I killed a non-classified e758 with condensation after a DICE session.

HOWEVER

The 759 in my gaming rig has been through hell and back, including a coolant leak that had my socket FULL of liquid ... BSOD, dried it out, and never had a problem after lol.

The 760 I bought at Frys (which was zip-tied to the wall as their display model) has been packed, unpacked, insulated, uninsulated, frozen, thawed, massively overvolted, and generally abused like only a man moving from hotel to hotel setting up and benching can do. And it still runs like a champ!

762 is brand new, but I expect nothing but the same high quality from it.

My only rma was a wacked out of the box 759, rma was fast and easy, really fast and really easy actually. Bound to have a wierd board in there somewhere. My 762's have been pushed crazy hard thru the warm up, cool down cycle and not a single issue to date. One board is faster than the other tho so go figure

Classy was tough as stuff until it ate my 4 GB's of my RAM a couple months ago. Did it cruising the web too. Figured it would have been one of the times I took it to hell and back. RMA was top notch.

I had a 759 that had the dreaded loose bios chip, other than that I have pretty much folded this 762 into a paper airplane and back and its been a tank.
