I will soon be receiving my 3rd 460 2win. According to support, both my old one, and the one I have now both passed their in-house checks. However, I can guarantee that they didn't work. The first time, I had to use their advanced RMA, which was a huge hassle. This time, their representative set up a cross-ship for me.

I was just wondering if this is an issue with this series of cards, evga, or anything else. I'd like to get a 770 or something like it at the end of this summer, but I don't want to deal with insane crashes and artifacts anymore!

Unrelated question: My voltages are 3.3v= 3.36, 12v=12.1, 5v=5.08. I know nothing of PSU's and I just wondered if these were unusually high.
 
no they are within ATX spec. bot i whould check with a multimeter as i don`t trust software and BIOS readings
 
Those readings look fine.

4 series ran hot. Most troubles on those cards came with the heat. My GTX 480 has a waterblock on it. My gaming temps rarely get over 50c, when it was air cooled, 90c was no problem, running the fan full blast kept it in the 70s.
 
I keep it in the 70's at highest with an extremely aggressive fan curve. Oh well, I just put in a 2005 Radeon X300.....128mb...I'm so sad
 
I knew I forgot something in my sig. It's an XFX 850W Pro. I also plugged in my Corsair TX650 to check the problems and no change.
