yeah refurbished mobos are nothing but trouble.
I rather get a refurbished card then a refurbished mobo.
Topic: Do you buy refurbished motherboards? - page 2. (Read 1529 times)
nah i did a few times had nothing but trouble with them, I buy motherboards and PSU's new only buy used proccessors, ram , and GPUs that are still in warranty
Thanks for the feedback. I was about to buy and I told myself I better ask first.. New they go for 225 + shipping - OEM version is also out of question because of the BIOS. It's hard to gauge the value against a Biostar TB85. Rack setups can definitely benefit, but if I stay small for now and open air, with some 2500W server PSUs powering 2 of them.. that also seems good.
I've been purchasing second hand GPUs and having good luck with them so far, fingers crossed.

Currently newegg is offering refurbs for $155 CAD free shipping:

There's no better deal up north, they usually sell for $215+
The whole refurb and limited RMA period is usually not a concern for personal use stuff, but with mining I'm trying to get the best value ROI, not just the best ROI if chances of 10-20% of these boards dying on me later..
I'm just about to pull the trigger on these before it's too late.
