No, for some reason my Bank of America bank card wouldn't be verified, I don't know why. I suspect I may have entered the wrong "reference phone number"; I've contacted NCIXUS about that and they haven't responded. I doubt I'll be able to get the same deal I got when I ordered 8 in the morning today for the same price, it's not looking good over at Canada for me. 🙁

That's why I ordered at Fry's. I'm getting a slightly less powerful card but it'll probably overclock to "Superclock" levels on stock cooling anyways.

I'm waiting to see how much better you get on your clocks with that Zalman...if all it does is lower temps but doesnt help OCing much than I wont get it...if it helps OC more AND lowers temp i'm all over that like white on rice.

ETA for my card is Halloween morning 😀

if only i werent on vacation, id have it tomorrow

I also have like 16 copper ram heatsinks, so lets see how high i can get those to clock!
 
What's the best heatsink and how much is it? The HR-03+ is $55. I wouldn't pay more than $25 for one honestly. I am going to see if a GTS comes out next month before I swap heatsinks. I will see how loud the fan is on high and if that gives me a better OC.

Okay, wtf. Anyone order the EGVA 8800GT with a Bank of America debit card? NCIX told me for some reason B of A won't verify the order.

Confirm/deny?

Hmmmm I didn't have any problems with my BoA debit/credit card.

Anyways, my order went through, but it didn't ship today. 🙁 Hopefully goes out tomorrow.......
 
lifetime warrenty means "how long we think before this product becomes obsolete" ... it is normally 3 years but I have seen a 1 year and even 6 monthes "lifetime" warrenties before...
 
prices are climbing on these already... EVGA raised it up $10 across the board... there may be a few e-tailers out there who are still a bit clueless who will sell this thing for under retail... when they get more stock that is... but its gonna be madness if they do get stock LOL...
 
Newegg just put up about 10 diff GT boards in stock. Got the EVGA KO (675mhz/1950mem) for 289. Oh, and the 22" Samsung 226BW 🙂

The SSC GT sold out after I added it to my cart and was inputting shipping info!
 
Yep SSC sold out, just got a evga KO also.

edit: it doesnt specifically say, but this probably comes with enemy territories quake wars right?

I dunno, but I didn't care for the quakewars demo. Guess I'll sell the game if it comes with it further reducing the upgrade cost.

Of course, I may hold onto it since if I "step up" I'll need to return the game too I suppose.
 
Ugh, I wish Fry's would get their damn 8800GTs already, I'm getting all kind of info from their sales reps; one said they'd get them today and another said they'll get them on Saturday.

If Newegg wasn't based in California, I would've probably bought from them, but tax on $270 = teh lose.

Unless they changed their policy, pretty sure bundled games were considered a gift that you didn't have to return.

Also, my GT shipped from NCIX. 😀 Should have it tomorrow. Thanks again to Swtethan for the heads up!
