    Looking for professional reballers in Germany / Europe (but, is it worth it?)

    Hi Forum!

    So as some of you may remember my 7970m died, and through one of the forum members I got it reballed by a Greek company.

    Problem is that, after running for a week with no problems and no overheating, my card has died on me twice since I got it reballed. The first time they reballed it again for no charge, but this time I'm requesting a money return.

    Question is then, should I even attempt at reballing it a thrid time with another company? Or should I throw the towel on this one?

    reballing is only a temporary measure and should only be used in order to give u some time to get a proper gpu replacement. sure, u can be lucky and last another 1-2 years, but in your case it doesnt seem like it ;) thats why i dont think ull be successful with that money return (especially not with a GREEK company, us greeks know how to do "business" :cool: )

    if ure planning to keep your machine, consider upgrading it to a 970M :)

    Actually they will give me the money back, they were very professional, but thank you for the rest of the information.
