    RMA'd Corsair HX850 PSU, they offer me a RM850, should I take it?

    I don't know why you think you're going to scare them using the word legally obligated. They are not. It's a warranty you agree to their warranty terms upon buying/registering the product. You can say it all day and night but they've heard it before. As blackbird said its a 2nd version you'll...

    RMA'd Corsair HX850 PSU, they offer me a RM850, should I take it?

    oh, didn't notice they actually still sold them. If that is the case, you don't get a new unit back with an RMA so that's probably why they said it was discontinued meaning they have no secondary refurbished units available. You can certainly plead your case or protest but at the end of the...

    ASUS P8H77-V Attempts to Boot Three Times

    in any case, I gave up dealing with their support and have just learned to live with it. My issue happens when its a cold start. I have a power saving surge protector so its not even getting idle power. If i leave the surge protector on and it has standby power or whatever you want to call it...

    RMA'd Corsair HX850 PSU, they offer me a RM850, should I take it?

    No they are not legally obligated to return you the same product, corsair like every other company pretty much has a standard RMA process where you get a product of equal or greater value in return. If the PSU is no longer produced then there isn't much they can do. You could perhaps argue to...

    ASUS P8H77-V Attempts to Boot Three Times

    My Asus Maximus Gene VII does this and Asus said it was normal...how... I don't know. (ASUS support is typically full of <mod edit> and they're pretty terrible so I've pretty much given up on them at this point and will be taking my business elsewhere.) It cycles to boot 3 times and finally...

    Will this setup max out every game this year and next by having more than 30 fps?

    should be fine..but who knows what the future holds...they could come out with some crazy graphically intensive games that eat up vram.

    how much will broadwell cpu's cost?

    They haven't released pricing..and their will be different versions of the chip..so its anyone's guess. I'd say 379.99+ as a baseline. The gain from the i5 4690k to whatever the new broadwell i5 is called isn't going to be that big of a jump. just looking at the specs of the chip, its main...

    How much is my PC worth?

    You're going to take quite a loss on that, and Windows 8 isn't even that bad...heck just download classic shell and you've got your windows 7 start menu back. Your setup is certainly worth money, but its probably only going to be worth about 65-70% of what you originally paid. (The ranges...

    Corsair vs XFX PSU?

    850w would give you the headroom needed for another card if you chose to do so. I had the ax860i and while it was a nice PSU, it had the stupid coil whine issue...so EVGA 850 G2 Supernova was my next choice..awesome PSU.
