EVGA Warranty

[Ezekial]

yes, I know I should call... I just want to know this info ahead of time instead of wasting time on the phone... figured a few people would have dealt with them on here though.

Does EVGA cover the fan on their cards under warranty?
if so... I assume I will have to send in the card, probably won't trust me to install the fan myself? anyone know if they do advanced replacement?

I may just buy a cooler for it though....
I got this card at the beginning/middle of December.... what a fucking peice of shit fan huh...

Did you register the card within 30 days?

You only get the lifetime warranty if you register your card...

If you didn't register your card, you still get a 1 year warranty, so you're covered.

When you register your card (within 30 days of purchase) you have the option of purchasing advanced replacement coverage for ~$5. (I forgot the exact price). If you did not purchase advanced replacement coverage, you will probably need to ship the card back first. (but get an RMA).

From what I've heard, their service is very fast!

the fan died already? im not sure if they cover a dead fan, since they say they dont cover physical damage.

did u register within 30 days for the lifetime warrenty?

a dieing fan is not physical damage

it's just a cheap FX5200 PCI card I am using for secondary video (wanted DVI). Yeah, it is basically dead already. Started making noise a couple weeks ago. I wasn't sure for a while if it was my 2.5yr old 6800GT or this new card.... finally got worse yesterday so I took a good look and verified..

yeah, I didn't know the 30days registration for lifetime til yesterday when I took a quick look on their site. Thanks for the info on the $5 thing and so forth.

Yeah I am pretty sure they will cover the fan under warranty.
I've seem then do an RMA of a fan that was just loud but still worked, they are pretty nice if you are nice to them to begin with.
