| 408625 | 2005-11-29 18:05:00 | I have an acquaintance in IRC who has blown his graphics card (unsure of exact model but it just under a year old and nvidia). This guy lives in the states, and I suspect the card has been OC'ed (maybe wrong on this, but he replaced the original heatsink with Zalman). He is intending to return it without the original heatsink. I would suspect that nvidia would say no to this as they would want the whole unit (original heatsink as well). I would also assume nvidia might suspect OC because the original heatsink is missing. Would I be wrong on these suspicions? In the experience of forum members, would nvidia accept the warranty claim? Granted this is in the States (and Im hoping SurferJoe sees this for some US input) and I know we have members in Australia etc. What would likely happen where you are? |

Overclocking itself would not necessarily void the warranty. Unless they can prove he killed it. Returning it with a different heatsink would. Its not Nvidia anyway - they just make the GPU - its whatever manufacturer of the card itself. Anyway - its up to the shop he got it from. |
