Questions on WARRANTY!

[tronicle]

Hi bros!

Newbie on this matter here and seeking help.

Which graphics card brand the warranty is "easiest" to claim. Meaning i just go to their office and then 1 to 1 exchange if there is a problem?

because i'm looking at the MSI r280 with free battlefield 4. but scared if play too much then gfx burn need to use warranty.

MSI product is distributed by Corbell at AMK. CDL is located at Commonwealth.

TS, most distro will do 1-to-1 exchange if stock available.
This is the case in first year, but into 2nd and 3rd year, buffer stock is likely to reduce. So need to wait for RMA.

quite true.
HArdly off my PC and lots of occasion kept it logged in game overnight , my gtx560ti until the fan blades fly off and caused WARMING up of the whole CPU and the card was STILL NOT spoilt...was in 2yr or 3rd so didnt bother about warranty and got a new one.

.

nowadays ALL distributors will give u a 1-2-1 xhange if they hav readied REPAIRED stock availiable..if not they hav to send back to china and replaced the faulty chip which can take up to 8 weeks...
very very seldom wud the distributor give u a brand new 1-2-1

can elaborate how the fan blades fly off?

 

[sky00sky]

Also no idea, was hearing abit of sound, open up see nothing.

Few days later felt the Casing abit warm, Cool master low end macroATX old type only one exhaust at the back type. Open up saw the orange fan blade one pcs at the bottom.

Since got four more, heck it just keep panel open at the sides.

Quite sometime later, sound comes now saw another one , i know is the gpu so go touch touch check the blades..then all but 1 came off.

So its GG.com.

One do not bring a Twin Frozr card to CDL trading and do an RMA.

Please do not go to the wrong distro to do an RMA. It will make you look stupid.

MSI Twin Frozr ---> Ang Mo Kio Techplace Corbell
Gigabyte Windforce ----> Commonwealth Tanglin Halt Industrial Estate CDL Trading.

2 different place 2 different things.
