Title: EVERYTHING Miners Need To Know About GPU Warranties | BEST? Worst? Transfer? Post by: VoskCoin on July 29, 2018, 01:54:56 AM Everything YOU need to know when you are purchasing an Nvidia or AMD Graphics card in regards to best warranty, whether or not the warranty is transferrable, and if the GPU can mine cryptocurrency.
A critical yet often overlooked part of selecting a graphics card is analyzing the warranty and finding out if you buy that GPU you wanted for cheap off of eBay . . if it even comes with a warranty?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul7aI389cb0 https://i.imgur.com/fqsiern.jpg Turns out popular graphics card options like ZOTAC & ASUS for example, carry zero warranty once they leave the hands of the original purchaser. Graphics Card shown in hand on Amazon - http://geni.us/iCb2C8u Today I will break down all of the top brands in the United States and review the best graphics card warranties and the worst graphics card warranties, as well as if their warranties are transferrable to second-hand owners AND IF THEY CAN BE MINED WITH!

Post by: NiklasFalk on July 29, 2018, 10:58:56 AM Interesting that the Warranty info and especially its transferrability is so well hidden that its very common to see GPUs being resold with "30 month warranty" even though it's a brand that does not allow the warranty to be transferred.
Uninfomed smucks are good customers... Title: Re: EVERYTHING Miners Need To Know About GPU Warranties | BEST? Worst? Transfer?

Uninfomed smucks are good customers... Yeah and honestly I was blown away to realize just how many of these manufacturers void their warranty after resale, I think this is an issue that will arise big time over the next year with so many GPUs being pumped into the market && especially into new hands Title: Re: EVERYTHING Miners Need To Know About GPU Warranties | BEST? Worst? Transfer? Post by: fanatic26_ on July 30, 2018, 06:47:05 PM Unless you registered the card, this worry is null and void. They have no way of knowing who purchased it originally and they dont ask for proof of purchase while a product is in warranty.
Straight from the Asus RMA form: Instant RMA will be provided for ASUS products that are In-Warranty and are manufactured in the North America region (United States and Canada only). If your product is outside the manufacturer warranty term, you may still complete the web form, but you must upload a copy of your proof of purchase for warranty validation and you will receive a Case#. ONLY if you product is OUTSIDE of the mfg warranty you have to provide proof.... Title: Re: EVERYTHING Miners Need To Know About GPU Warranties | BEST? Worst? Transfer?

I bought a few GPUs second hand, the GPUs blew up a bunch of MOSFETs and I tried to get RMA. They basically need the original receipt and it needs to be you. If the address and names don't match up, they assume it was bought second hand and refuse to RMA. Gigabyte, Asus and MSI they don't care whether you are the first owner or the 10th owner. The warranty stays with the card kind of like Apple Warranties or Car warranties. Title: Re: EVERYTHING Miners Need To Know About GPU Warranties | BEST? Worst? Transfer?

It is pretty surprising with such a widely used and popular --- often deemed the best card for mining . . to have such more RMA service makes you realize why some people loaded their farms with MSI instead!

Post by: begnme on August 01, 2018, 02:31:14 PM I have had some very good experiences with EVGA cards/warranties. EVGA use to sell lifetime warranties. I returned a card for repair that had a lifetime warranty and the replacement is still going strong. I tend to hold on to video cards for a long time. I have three GTX 970's. Two I bought from craigslist. One had major issues and could not mine at all. Turns out, it was still under warranty and I got a replacement from EVGA in 3 days! I have bought extended warranties on all my EVGA video cards and have used those warranties three times with great results. I highly recommend EVGA.

They have the best service I have experienced so far. I have also had good experience with MSI, Gigabyte, and ZOTAC. PNY was good at first but then they decided not to honor my receipt from Amazon anymore by the 3rd time I sent in an RMA. Title: Re: EVERYTHING Miners Need To Know About GPU Warranties | BEST? Worst?

I imagine many would sink some cash into a 1080 TI lifetime warranty lol |
