Was just saying the EVO pro is $40 more for around same size; only difference is the pro will preserve data for 60-70 years vs 17-20 for the standard EVO.

I'm free tomorrow if you wanna tackle it then?

From what I'm reading on forums, most issues with MSY surround customer service in initial sales at particular outlets, i.e. usually noobs not having a clue what they are buying and walking in looking for the Harvey Norman experience. It's just an in and out parts supplier and that's why they are cheaper than anyone else / popular with a lot of computer techs.

There have been issues with warranty dealings in the past, but the ACCC cracked down on them hard and fined them big for it a few years ago.

I can't speak from much from personal experience...it wouldn't matter anyway, cause everyone seems to have their own good or bad story and it seems to differ from store to store...but the guy I dealt with yesterday was pretty friendly, even carried some stuff out to my car for me. And that's how I like to shop...no fuss, no upselling or anything...just go in there knowing what you want and come out with it.

ive had no issues with bootup and have tried 50+ games :P

main issues are SLI/Crossfire as there is alot of games that dont support it.. like the new need for speed for instance

You say that but ive never had a problem with sli?? not once :)

Unr33l: those are some impressive scores for single card, nearly as much as my gtx 680 sli!???

PC built! Fk it's quick to assemble them these days. Everything so modular and easy. Windows installation / boot up on SSD is a joke too. Thanks to Leigh for helping me with it!

No worries brah! half of it was already build don't forget!

Now to wore up the peripherals and get dat 3dmark score.

Yeah run 3dmark 11 it's what most people use, my guess is around 11,000 ish given your GPU not quite as good as what I had in it :P CPU / physics will be practically the same just the graphics score will change a bit.

dat gigabyte windforce, good looking card - still love my reference card 'geforce gtx' glow though :D

no problems, just a lot of games dont utilise both cards. When I was running SLI downloaded some tool that optomises it (and had some effect on games that didnt use it)

well.. tried to run 3dmark last night but couldent :(.. cpu was overheating, so this arvo got some beers and set too.. cleaned everything, the rad was blocked BAD lol. and applied new thermal paste to the cpu die and the ihs, has been 5 months since i de-lidded it..

EDIT: just made some more points

Recently got a MSI Twin Frozr R9 280X but I think my 955 is now a bottleneck :(

Though the cooler/fans for the graphics card are brilliant and now have removed the 2x12cm fans I had on the side panel so the whole system is quieter now.

nice score mate! those asus cards are very nice heard many good things - what was your cpu at in that run? and what cooler you usinig? h110 or something it looks like? post up a link to the 3dmark result so we can browse through the info :) keen to see what I could get my 780ti in graphics score but don't want to go too hard :P I'm just running a modest overclock right now

This guy would win the e-peen thread:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
