Over time the 790i boards have been the worst, none survive to this date out of the two I had.

The X58 SLI is now gone as it had so many isuues it just became too frustrating to continue using it.

The Classified I had also had many issues that again I became just too frustrated to continue using it.

Why didn't I RMA these boards ?

Some I did and I think EVGA support is great.
But after awhile having to RMA very expensive boards just becomes to much. I think in tge end I spend allmost as much shipping crap around then I pay for the product in the first place.

So I no longer run any EVGA boards, or have any in the house.
Sorry my friends who work at EVGA, support is the best tho !

On the flip side I have had only 1 Giga board that needed RMA out of the many that I have had, and that was a pre-release board that was used for testing.

I still have 2x 9800gx2's that I have to look at :(

759 and 762 still going strong. But I overclock like a girl.

Classy p55 is still around but I haven't bothered to get another chip to tell for sure if the last i5 670 is dead or the board........

That was the problem. No RMAs here but I use conformal coating on the boards.

I have BEAT my 759 like a red headed stepchild, and its still going. at least 15 LN2 sessions, high volts, sloppy insulation, and its still going without a hiccup.

Used my 760 quite a bit too and it took abuse like a champ I had since sold it, and the new owner killed it, so I RMA'd for him. No problems with his new one

If your losing ram channels its most likely due to bent pins or bad cpu-pin contact.

Love evga boards and support, they just need better pi efficiency

yea man, a Classy with the pi efficiency of a Giga X58 Extreme would be killer.

My original 759 was awesome, till a ram slot went dead. RMA was smooth and fast. Had to RMA the second 759 due to pure stupidity but still have my original 769.

I've watered and frozen them both, and they continue to perform like champions.

My 762 will be delivered Monday morning (the 12th of April), and it's going straight into the deep freeze.

My P55 Classy is still in the box but I'm itching to get it and the 670 frozen too sometime soon

Work has kept me out of town and away from my boards too much as of late, but can't say enough for the Classified's I have owned, or for EVGA who makes them and stands behind them

Kind of miss my RIIE (it was my first X58 board), but would never change back cause it didn't give me the versatility that the Classified's do.

Classified board sale coming sometime soon, only because.. who really needs 4 different models at one time

Thing is... I don't want to give any of em up
