Factory OC damaged my chip

The card displayed horrible artifacts in games . I spent hours and hours reasearching, but nothing helped. Finally I enetered Wattman settings and reduced voltage and core clock to 1100 MHz. The card is now working, however I'm missing almost 15% of it's declared performance.

Currently, the product is producing a "supply memory error" after removing all protective materials (plastic, paper, and etc). It appears the chip is not properly being read by our HP Laserjet Pro MFP 277dw printer. Will be asking for a refund and suggest no one purchase unless the problem is solved.

This card worked great for about a month and then completely restarted the computer when loading any 3D game. It took me a while to figure out what was causing it, but EVGA tech support helped me sort of figure out what was going on. Also, my EVGA PSU started acting up at the same time and I had to return it after EVGA discovered the PSU was also having strange 12V value changes in the UEFI BIOS. I sent their PSU back since it was within the 30-day return window. I still love their aesthetics and performance, so I'll keep getting their stuff anyway. What can you do?

Well constantly freezes. None of the drivers work. All MSI parts. Try to go on MSI support they want me to fill out a ticket...How do you know what previous bios you had. What exact model you have. There's no way to see. Guess I should have gone with Asus. So guess I got a paperweight.

My card just came in and the box wasn't sealed in any way? The card was in a static bag with scotch tape closing it, the PC Board looks to have solder flux all over the back and there were finger prints on the cooling shroud?

The BIOS feature that detects boot failures is buggy and triggers on most reboots even though I am not overclocking.

I attempted to fix it, which broke the Wake-on-LAN feature which is absolutely essential to how I'm using the system.

Their support has been unhelpful, and I'm just going to have to replace the motherboard.

This board allowed me to overclock my i7 6700 non-k processor to 4.522 GHZ 133mhz bus @ 1.35v. My ram is DDR4 2133 @ 2660.
It came with BIOS 7.20 and allowed me to overclock. After experiencing directx crashes in gaming Battlefield 1. I thought I would update the BIOS to 7.40. WARNING! This would not allow my PC to even POST if I was trying to overclock. Rolled back to old bios, that did not let me overclock either! Turns out the BIOS 7.40 update also updates the Intel MEI code which disables the ability to OC a NON-K processor -.-
I found a good bios online that was unlocked. If you search for it you will find a good thread with link to download it. Not hard to find! But again do so at your own risk.

DOA. Bent CPU pins because the pin protector barely fits on the CPU tray. Two slot of RAM dead. DO NOT BUY.

I'm 90% sure this item was defective when I got it.  Ordered just after Christmas 2014, got the 1.0 revision.  I think I may have gotten the 1.0 revision because I ordered 1 day shipping so take that into account if you care.

I spent about 8 hours with different driver versions, on various forums reporting GPU-Z results.  For no obvious reason my card would crash whenever I loaded a game or even ran Windows Experience Index.  I have compatible hardware (4th gen i7, 700w power supply, a huge case, aftermarket cooling system, etc..)

All was fine if I under-clocked my card 40% or so.  Obviously I bought the G1 gaming series so that I could over-clock, not be stuck under-clocking to previous generational speeds.

As for coil while - I had a little.  It slightly buzzed when running benchmarks while underclocked.

Anyway - I have faith in Gigabyte and in Amazon.  They're over-nighting me a new card and I'm returning the one I had.  I hope to update this review in the near future to 5 stars.

got screwed over, didn't work after the complete install it wouldnt come on, finally called the company, they said with the i7 6800k need to update bios using usb.
finally got the link, will try it.

after updating still didn't work.

Took it to a pro who said its dead.
took it to asus service center they said its purchased in USA send it there.

Wrote to Asus service center for sending it to them, they said i can send but repairs will be chargeable, even though its with 3 yrs warranty supposedly!!!

Always bought asus for many many years, i guess its one of the extraordinary  bad experiences..

arrived DOA. first thing i noticed was missing parts (IO Shield,etc)
second, upon visually checking the MB i came across multiple bent pins within CPU socket.
--immediately returned--

the 3rd revision of this motherboard has defective VRMs. This causes CPUs to throttle under stress-- it would throttle my 8350 down to 3.4Ghz on stock settings. absolute garbage. gigabyte is usually great and this is just an accident on their part. check out a gigabyte 970a-ud3 for a better experience.

Generally, memory is memory... and simple memory with low clocks like this should be fine in anything. Anyways, only one of the modules would work at a time, when both were inserted, they would not work correctly. Showed up properly in the BIOS as 8gb, but did not actually work properly and could not be detected by the operating system or tools like CPU-Z.

I tried resetting the CMOS as well as replacing the CMOS battery, but it was no help.
Other kits worked.

Something is wrong with the bios, something it shows welcome screen, sometimes not. The board arrives curve. But if it do their job well, I will keep it. Note that it only have 6 pcies, not 7 as the picture.

Installing the memory was easy but after I installed it the Asus 901 starting acting strange. The screen would go blank and I needed to reset the system. After a day the system went black and stopped working. I called Asus and after installing the old 1 GB memory back in all was well. I returned this memory to Amazon and will try to order the Crucial 2GB memory and see if that works better.

I bought this RAM years ago.  When I was ready for an upgrade, I decided to purchase the same exact set to avoid any incompatibilities.  After installing the new set, my computer would not boot.  I thought I got a bad stick, but when I took out the old sticks, the new sticks worked just fine by themselves.  Having old and new together did not work which made no sense because all 4 chips are identical except for age.  I couldn't even get into BIOS.  So I decided to clear CMOS.  That allowed me into BIOS and the full amount of RAM was being reported, yay!  I reset my date/time and rebooted.  Unfortunately, could not boot or get into BIOS again???  Cleared CMOS again and this time when I was in BIOS, I changed the RAM frequency from Auto to 1600.  Reset date/time and rebooted.  Could finally boot into Windows and full amount of RAM was reported in there too.  No idea why 2 sticks works with Auto Frequency and 3 or 4 sticks needed the settings to be tweaked.

Motherboard is ASUS M4A77TD.  Hope this helps someone out.

The chips used are this module are DEFECTIVE and were DEFECTIVE from the beginning. In short, Komputerbay knowingly sold me a DEFECTIVE memory. If you look at the chips, you will see thick lines on the chips underneath the Komputerbay label. It clearly shows the original Micron logo and original Micron part numbers have been 'scored out.' This means that Micron, the maker of the chips, knew these chips were defective and put score marks through the chips to indicate they are scrap and should NOT be sold. However, KOMPUTERBAY sold this marked chips to me. I will never buy from this company again!

When a chip maker such as Micron finds their chips are defective, they will 'score out' their logo and part number prior to sending them to be scraped. In some cases, unscrupulous people will 'intercept' the scrap chips and attempt to pass them off as good product. Any reasonable computer memory company knows that these were defective scrap and should never have been sold as memory modules. Do not patronize a business with this bad business practice. I tried to return this product but they won't accept after the return period.
