<div class="IPBDescription">A Story of Multiple RMA'ing!</div> So, it happened, my MSI GeForce FX 5950 Ultra literally caught on fire, smoking! Quickly, I sent it to the Canadian branch of RMA, and they sent me nothing but the same card. Same problem.

This time, I sent it to the American branch in California. I waited a long two weeks, but was pleased when I opened my unusually large shipping box.

I opened it to reveal a brand new <b>MSI GeForce 6800 GT</b>. Oh the joy I was filled with!

Hurray for MSI!

    Yeah, they're great when it comes to support. My 9800 pro is an MSI.

    Summary for those too lazy to read:

    Faulty mobo catches fire, melts a PCI slot, MSI won't RMA it, as it was apparently a badly fitted component.

    Sadly no.

    (It's funny because one of their songs came up on my winamp playlist just as I read that.)
