I want to build a watercool pc. Now left the only GPU have not buy yet. if should I get the Palit RTX 2080 Ti locally or order from Amazon EVGA RTX 2080 Ti?

You can just get either one.

Check with EVGA if they got cover watercooling. Some cards they don't cover.once you take out means void warranty. Factor this in before purchasing.

EVGA warranty covers removal of heatsink for swap to waterblock.

If you buy EVGA cards from Amazon, you can request to RMA through their Taiwan office if there's any problem. Cheaper shipping as well.

don't buy MSI very strict on tampering warranty sticker . Don't understand why cos water provides better cooling than air-cool and can last longer

The sticker is tamper proof.

Use long nose plier to slowly remove the stickered screw by holding its head but take care not to damage any small components surrounding it. Do it slowly rather than 1x good force.

look like not easy, maybe I should go for evga

thinking of palit because of the lowest price of local rtx 2080 ti

In that case might as well you go for EVGA. Reconfirm with them again on the watercooling rma before purchase must to make sure. Now your question will be which EVGA card. Lol

As long warranty sticker is tamper, warranty will be void.
Think twice before you do the water cool mod.

If u go for EVGA, please look at what waterblock u gonna use 1st. From there then decide on which model you wanna get.

yes, that is the only way.

 

[zacky1223]

Remember to check if its reference EVGA card when buying the block. Confirm with Barrow which gpu you buying than see if the block is suitable just to play safe.

 

[badbad2000]

Amazon or newegg

 

[Zink00]

Oh ya newegg, but prefer amazon though. Newegg shipping tend to be more expensive, also heard customer service not as good as amazon.

Zotac is also a good option, it has no warranty void sticker so u can remove the heatsink. As long no physical damage from removal or water damage you can still RMA (same for EVGA). Zotac has 5 years warranty. If you are buying barrow one its most likely a founders PCB. As long its a founder PCB card you wont get into issues with compatibility.
