taking the post by dertb as an example- "act like some chao ah beng gangster " does constitute some kind of bashing and flaming i would say. but the rest of the post from dertb is how i do feel to be honest. it is true that no matter how hard the bashing is my problem will remain the same. but then again as i said before opinions, comments r welcome but bashing of course not. its a freedom of speech and eddy86 post on the particular subject of guns and shooting yourself proves a point.

in the end my prob is being look into by buildtech at the moment tho its taking along time due to the fact they are checking a batch of other faulty gcs sent by buildtech according to the guys there in buildtech. so rather now im not fighting for whos wrong or right anymore because i have found a solution to my problem. the thread here is for the other forumers to read and to be warn on potential problem they might be facing. hence i think its right for the others to voice out because the one that is really frustrated should be me not the forumers that commented here.

dertb u point out a good idea on taking the vid. but my gc now is with the vendor in hk so its pointless now. but i will remember that. and yes i have to admit, lots of forumers have actually offered help and i thank them alot. its nice to know that there are still nice malaysians out there.

you are right asamkipas, shouldnt be flaming but rather make constructive comments.

I know this sounds like a really desperate solution, but if zhen^wei and buildtech have confirmed that there's nothing wrong with the gc and you're still unhappy, why don't you sell off the gc and get a new one? you'll lose some cash yes, but you'll sleep better at night. You won't have to keep running up and down and calling here and there.

I had a graphics card from powercolor that was overheating like mad. I sent it for RMA but the technician told me it's fine, all similar graphics cards are running at 103 degrees celsius. I was like, yeah, I don't need a kettle anymore, let's just boil water on my card. I couldn't sleep at night till I got a 2nd hand cooler recently, which dropped my temps by 30 degrees. the original cooler was faulty but I couldn't get the techs to agree with me. I got fed up and took it into my own hands.

I applaud your persistence here vlwl17, but sometimes for your own mental wellbeing you might have to make desperate choices.

What you did to solve your problem to some is a subtle way exit. To some, like TS, it is not a matter of just solving the issue. It is standing for your own rights and your own words. In your case, the cooler is certainly causing problem, you could have insisted it because anyone would know that 103 celsius is not acceptable temperature. That technician need to be fired from his job. Because you opted to not argue and solve the problem by yourself, you are actually building more confidence to this lousy technician and he really think 103 celsius is a normal temp for GPUs.

Same like TS vs zhen^wei. I am quite sure it's really not about the card or money. It's about fighting for your rights as consumer and reseller. Sure, the problem could have been solve easily like TS selling the card away or zhenwei refunding TS. But both believe what they have done to be correct and they stand by their decision. This is the kind of characteristics that Malaysians should be having. Stand firm to what you believe is right. If we have done that, we wouldn't have to succumb to the political issues we are having now. Like during election when they said..if you voted for opposition the country will become chaos and messy and so on. Yes it might happen but we must stand our ground and practice our rights. We do not opt for a cowardly way out because we don't want problems. Sorry..a bit out of topic but get my point.....

I thank you for your insightful view on Malaysian politics and your stand on cowardliness. Perhaps I should've told you the whole story where my card got replaced 3 times for different reasons and the overheating final unit that I got was the last straw (previous cards had artifacts). Another characteristic I believe Malaysians should have is to understand all points of view before being quick to criticize. Sorry a bit out of topic but get my point...

Back to the topic, I'm offering an alternative to TS if he truly is fed up. I know I would be, and contrary to what abubin says, it's not cowardly to seek a non confrontational solution as long as you're happy with your decision.

lol...i think i'm being misunderstood. what i mean is, if at the end of the day neither buildtech nor zhen^wei can find anything wrong with the stuff (and i'm not giving excuses for the way zhen^wei is responding to ppl here) and they can confirm that the issue is a compatibility issue or whatnot, then a reasonable solution would be to pass that card on to someone else who can use it. if the gc itself is faulty, then by all means continue what you're doing. eg, after replacing my cooler, i'm not gonna sell my faulty cooler to anyone else. similarly if the card itself is spoilt, then you shouldn't pass the buck to someone else.
