that's a legitimate reason to be denied
That could be a crack.
It is a crack and show the card is not fit for purpose.
>so unless it came with a brace
The brace makes it worse by putting uneven pressure on the PCB.
I wouldn't want to try to get that RMA'd
If anything, a DIY repair is in order.
that’s where the locking tab from the motherboard contacts the GPU, you baboon

not only is he a detestable namegay, he also loves to eat poop. unironically.
There are no leads near that. In fact you can snap that whole tab off with 0 issues if you use a support bracket.
Oh of course you're a namehomosexual you troony b***h
That's a crack though init
Is a small crack like that bad ? Doesn't seem to be running through any components or bus.
could fry the whole card
Like you fry the shit nuggets to eat? you disgusting subhuman
>could fry the whole card
are you legitimately moronic? It's the fricking anchor tab, it has zero circuitry anywhere near it. It's designed to hold weight, not bridge. Yeah it looks like it could have a scratch or possibly a crack in the top layer from stress, but it's superficial. Get an anchor and forget about it, it's cosmetic. More than likely it came from the idiot trying to pull it out of the PCIE socket without pushing the tab to release the anchor in the first place.
It's attached to the PCB directly, even if it's a small scratch, the scratch came from somewhere. It could be a metallic scratch, a plastic scratch, a regular scratch from fingernails or whatever. Anything conductive enough to break the card; for whatever reason it is defective in the first place.
>mac user science
you midwit, it doesn't matter if the scratch is made of fricking solder, it's not conducting to any circuitry. Do you even understand how circuit boards work? Stick to consoles, electronics are not for you
I heard you shit. Literally.
End your life.
fry the whole card
>are you legitimately moronic?
A crack on that tab can kill a card
It isn't bad it's locking mechanism of the GPU it has no wires in it, but you can't lock card properly without it. (Still had GPU card working fine without it). But formally they are right it's physical damage to the lock that can't be repaired properly.
>repaired
I thought they just swapped cards and called it a day
Point is guarantee has waver about non proper use including physical damage. You can say they are picking hairs if it was scratch not affecting function. But here is the crack while small it's directly preventing proper operation.
I think they actually run some lines through that zone for some odd reason, check northridgefix's videos
I'm sure if you cracked a PCB in your console you'd be told the same - have a nice day OP.
Can someone point out where this scratch is supposed to be? I'm legit moronic.
I'm guessing right above the "ASUS".
The little arrow (sticker?) points to it.
>arrow (sticker?) points to it
God, it's sad to be moronic like i am
i thought that meant red sus
It even has a red sticker arrow my guy
There's a crack above red sticker near the little fin called PCB, which serves as locking mechanism so the main board of computer holds the graphics card without card dropping out of slot. If you break the PCB, your card won't hold onto the main board properly and it will sag, and it will likely won't even function properly.
Some companies accept cards with broken PCBs and give you new ones (like EVGA used to do, now I think it's only Gigabyte who do that), but lots of them consider that it's your fault and won't RMA the cards, which mean you're screwed. Asus nowadays is the latter of what I mentioned and their RMA policies are shit today. With Asus it's a gamble, you either get good products that you'll enjoy or you get paperweights because their customer support are full buttholes.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Power traces run buried in the middle of the card right over that area. Due to bad design the cards will crack in that spot and stop working. It has nothing to do with sag or holding properly it's a broken wire.
This is a design flaw and ASUS should be on the hook to repair and replace every card in the generation with that design flaw. It would be expensive but in theory they can reuse all the chips from the bad cards.
opposite of my experience.
asus were awesome in my RMA, gigabyte fricked me out of 1000 CAD for a card that lasted only 9 weeks.
It may look small, but a crack even in that spot can cause the GPU to stop working. Here's a repair video where a guy repairs a crack in the same location.
That man is skilled.
For PSU, Seasonic. I've never heard anything talk bad about them seriously who weren't being contrarians.
>Seasonic
Superior Japanese Resistors..
you can't even reinstall OS
that's why you don't use PC
you are dumb gorilla
Crack is caused by gpus being giant bricks now, so unless it came with a brace that you didn't use then Asus are homosexuals. But we already knew that.
Stop buying asus
4070TI asus comes with gpu support stick
Nah. It's slot itself that takes weight, not lock pin.
Lock pin damage is because author pried it open without fully unlocking lock.
And yes its bad design outgrown by modern GPU size. You can't see and properly operate lock lever when it's obscured by GPU brick size card. I broke that lock pin on one of my GPUs too (still worked fine after).
Already
Sold
U
Shit
You're supposed to support your GPU with one of your Funkos
In Norway, the retailer is responsible for warranties without exception. You don't have to contact the producer, just the store you bought it from and they will handle it.
That's for all Europe i think
sounds like disgusting socialism to me bro.
think of the poor corporinos!
I don't want to wait a lifetime for a doctor's appointment.
where does this meme come from? it's the exact same problem in the United States as well, unless you live in some over-served part of the nation like SoCal or NYC and even then you'll still get a $200 just for a "consult," plus tip.
So just go to a private clinic? If you have decent insurance they'll even cover part of the cost for you.
>ENHANCE
>ye that could totally be a crack and they have all the right to refuse
do muricans really?
My EVGA 1080 stopped turning on one day, called up their support and the dude hooked me up with a replacement when it was 4 months past warranty.
I'd be a lifetime customer if they were still in the biz. Props to you Customer Support guys, must be a soul crushing job most of the time.
meanwhile asus wants retail value plus $400 tip. while under warranty. lol
It was nice when EVGA was around...
Never forgiving Nvidia for that shit, we had one decent card manufacturer with fantastic customer support and they had to squeeze them out of the market.
I don't care how good DLSS or their gaytracing is or how shit AMD is I'm only getting AMD cards from here on out.
My EVGA 760 SC with ACX cooler is a relic but a beautiful relic.
jensen needs another yacht. please understand.
Not like you can use their RT on mid/high tier cards without DLSS
If you go AMD go Sapphire.
Sapphire has great customer support
It's good, but not great. Nobody approaches EVGA until they offer their own step-up program.
Whilst I get your idea, I had 4(!) Defective 7900XTX in a row, 1 reference and 3 aftermarkets.
Took 6 months before I had a stable pc. Splurged on a 4090, shit just works.
Nvidia is shit, but so is amd. Never forget the "its fine that your card hits 110c's" shit from a few years ago
>I'm literally eating feces because one distributor of real food b***hed out of business
huh so asus didn't learn shit from their recent frick up with motherboard voltage burning cpus. good to know. won't ever look in their direction again. what a trash pile of a company.
Asus has always had garbage customer support, people just didn't notice because you usually didn't need it or just returned the shit through the retailer.
Call the card company, tell them it didn't have a scratch when you sent it in and they're trying to scam you. Asus tried that shit with me and I got a refund.
>buy ASUS mobo
>it's the worst piece of shit I've ever bought, corrupted it's own bios when I set it to sleep mode

I just woke up
I’m gonna be saying shit like “piece of a foot” out loud to my empty living room for the next few days. You fricked up big time
Asus still good, cope and seethe bro
hey how does ASUS CEO's wiener taste? You gigantic homosexual.

keep guzzling corporate cum you sissy.
Oh my bad, I didn't know that you make your own pc parts, like the motherboard and gpu and cpu. Can you teach me how to make my own so I stop buying from shitty corporations? you lost, moron. Let me collect your tears.
>Uhh you don't make motherboards by hand? Then don't judge CHUD
hahaha
concessions accepted. now give me your tears.
good morning sir
I can't cry, anon, I'm a bit defective you see, but I'm sure you're used to accepting shoddy products anyway.
>DONT QUESTION, JUST BUY PRODUCT
oh so you dont like just sucking on that ASUS wiener, you love it when it buttfricks you too?

hello sars, good morning.
will you do the needelful and buy gpu yes?
frick off moron, india is shit and so is your brain, which is almost inexistent.
b***h lasagna
good morning sir
Serves you right for getting scammed into buying $800+ GPU's.
Fricktard.
Just buy a new one from Amazon and return the broken one, Amazon don't give a shit.
>the entire reddit thread is defending ASUS and saying OP was at fault / OP is a liar and its his own fault he didnt buy a brace himself (ASUS doesn't give you one and the OP probably didn't even realize he needed one)
I needed to be reminded why reddit is such a shit place. peak NPC hivemind.
It ain't much different in here, and Asus still based. Cry about it, b***h boy.
sir you are right, India super power by 2030!
enjoying the small amount of shekels you get while they hoard everything else sheep?
>buy product
>break it
>wtf why won't the corporation warranty it????
Warranties are for product failures. You don't get to RMA a box of glass bowls and cups after you dropped them on the floor like a tard.
I don't know a lot of PC gaming, but I thought new cards go for thousands? $970 doesn't seem that bad relatively speaking
There's a whole product stack where you can go from $100 to $2000 with different models at each tier. This card is basically two tiers down from the best thing available right now.
Also a couple of years ago there was a crypto mining bubble that made every card cost 3x retail price but it crashed (again)
Wait what's the point of the warranty if they won't refund money when it breaks?
Like ya no shit its broken that's why I would buy a warranty
Is this the final form of garbage threads? Redditor and social media addict OPs taking screencaps of reddit and blacking out and cropping half the post so it looks slightly less like a screencap from another site that jannies should be deleting?
EVGA's warranties are great. I bought a shit tier 750bq bronze power supply on sale for $40 years ago and when it died they sent me a supernova 750 GT as a replacement.
>EVGA
Anon I...
wait nevermind, they still sell PSUs
It is a real fricking shame they don't make GPUs anymore though
I literally got my 3 year old PSU warranty repaired by EVGA last month. If you bought EVGA in the past you still gucci. New PSUs have a shorter warranty period because the company owner just doesn't want to be in business anymore and they're getting ready to shut down entirely as soon as everyone's warranty runs out, but they're probably still just as good.
>must be a soul crushing job
It's not unless someone starts sending essays on how our work and products help them through some hard times, etc. You just really don't know how to respond to this properly and sound natural.
I feel like customer support is soul crushing if the worker himself is a piece of shit
If you do your job and help customers they will be grateful and suck your wiener constantly
haha no. CS is best if you hate people and want to see them suffer. If you have empathy it's a shitty fricking time especially after a few years.
t. long time CS goon
WHO ARE YOU??!?!?!?!
Identity doesn't matter if the person if committing a crime
Log off and have a nice day dude, seriously.

Agent Bob Denton, at your service.
I would unironically suck the human personification of EVGA's wiener. Losing them is one of the biggest tragedies in the industry this side of 2010.
>must be a soul crushing job most of the time.
meh, it can vary a lot depending on the company and the team you work with. it's definitely not a job one can do forever, but it can be a very educational experience
>If you do your job and help customers they will be grateful and suck your wiener constantly
it's not that easy, sometimes customers are either rude, or have no understanding of what you can and can't do. you can be a pro at it but sooner or later you're going to get an butthole, it's just statistics
t. worked in one
my 980ti fricking set itself on fire 2 months before warranty and they sent me a 1080 as a replacement, best card I ever had. Shame they weren't around for the 4xxx series, would've bought one from them instead of FE
Yup, on my 3rd EVGA 1070.
>ASUS warranty
really? you not confusing them with some scalper pajeet, OP?
Cracked pcbs can be fixed. Gigabyte is shit for denying warranty. The issues arise when you crack the GPU core itself which can only happen if you disassemble the card and most companies will void your warranty at that part.
>receive card
>broken
>ASUS denies my warranty
>remind them that I live in a country in which I can literally wipe my ass with it and return it to the seller full of literal shit if I do so in 15 days ater the purchase
Sometimes living in a shithole is not that bad
Or...
>Break something
>Order identical thing from Amazon
>Out broken thing back into box after cleaning it up
>Return to Amazon for refund because "package came damaged"
I do this ALL the time. It's like a perpetual warranty service.
good morning sir
Is it time to go back to horizontal cases?
80s and 90s ISA cards could be very long, so cases used to have load bearing slots at the front of the case to support all that length. Now we're trying to support weight with support risers which seems like a hack
Current designs are moronic and a safety hazard. Especially if you look at 4090s which are as big as fricking bricks
is there any real downside to a horizontal case? seems better with how GPUs are built these days
Space used
there's also heatflow issues
what issues? explain. I see no particular issues unless you're trying to draw air in from the surface below it.
Sapphire is giving those support for the 7900 series
Those fricking suck and depending on the case are a nightmare to install. After swapping motherboards earlier this year I gave up and just got a vertical mount. It was from the same manufacturer as my case so it doesn't choke my card by being so close to the side panel.
It took me 10 minutes to install mine. It's not that hard.
We'll either have PCIe Risers as standard in modern cases, or external GPU enclosures become a more common thing.
It's time to get rid of the dogshit atx standard, for sure.
unironically yes. gpus are so fricking big and so weighty (along with cpu cooler weights) nowadays that you're literally waiting for failure to occur. I'm reminded of my old 5870 - I had an accelero cooler on it and the end of the fan shroud was physically resting by the 5.25" bays the case had. Not 6 months after I changed cases to one where it didn't have support (because I updated my system sans GPU) it started artifacting like a motherfricker.
Fricking amazingly quiet cooler though that accelero.
I have a tower 900, where the GPU hangs straight down. The thermals are garbage because it's a watercooling case instead of an airflow case, but there are no sheer forces on the pci slots at all. Really ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE CURRENT STANDARD is better.
What would be funnier is if it came like this from the factory but he missed or ignored it during installation.
>physically break it by tearing it out of the slot without unlocking the latch
>GIVE MONEY BACK
Not how warranty works you fricking gorilla.
>Unlocking the latch
Hard as shit to do now with how fricking fat even mid-tier cards are becoming.
pc gaming is for esports gays. Nothing more nothing less
Honestly why don't more cases mount the GPU like this?
You'd have to spend money on a PCIe bridge on top of the case materials. It's fancy but now what people are used to so case manufacturers can get away with no safer designs
Mine came with the riser.
cause GPUs being massive is a pretty recent development, you'll be seeing more and more cases just like that (and some other configurations) as the 2020s go on. Unless they start downsizing, which they won't, because they've made GPUs the PC gamer equivalent of buying a 400% marked up lifted Dodge Ram
Does using a ribbon cable for other mount systems introduce any noticeably latency for the GPU?
Not directly.
But you run into a risk of forcing a lower standard of PCIe, especially when in 4.0/5.0 territory.
Not really.
If you have the right cable it doesn't matter.
>If you have the right cable it doesn't matter.
You have no guarantee of that unless the motherboard manufacturer tested it. PCIe 4.0+ is VERY sensitive.
Because built-lets are scared of SFF and think they're heat traps with a 90s mindset.
Hardware company warranties is a scam and they will do anything possible to avoid honoring the warranty. I never buy new after MSI burned me last and I help all my friends by 2nd hand instead.

>RAM: G.Skill. Don't buy Corsair; they've been going downhill the past two years.
>SSD: Used to be Samsung, as they make their own SSD controllers and hardware, but they've also recently made their Pro line of SSDs use TLC NAND instead of MLC NAND like previous versions of their flagship SSDs. Crucial is the most reliable budget brand in my experience, and Sabrent (specific models) have been good as well.
>GPU: Wash. EVGA was the best for Nvidia cards, and Sapphire for AMD cards if your criteria is customer support. But nowadays I'd recommend the same advice I gave for motherboards above.

Though EVGA seems to be ramping down this part of their business as well; their newest PSUs have a greatly reduced warranty compared to their previous models as well as their competitors.

>he bought into a socket am5 and ddr5 meme.
Get a decent am4 motherboard and a 5800x3d. You are being ripped off. DDR5 offers you no more than 3% performance over top tier DDR4 ram and you'd need a 6080ti to saturate a 4.0 pci-e lane fully.
Not the guy, but I legti cant inde a motherboard with DDR4 sockets
Just get an asrock or asus motherboard, like tuf gaming x570 pro or something. Wifi or no wifi depending on what you want.
If I go with the 5800x3d, would the Asus PRIME B550-PLUS be okay for a mobo?
I haven't seen any mention of high temps. And from my experience with Asus TUF GPUs, they tend to be rather decent at regulating temperature. Granted, I don't know shit about AMD, it's been like 15-20 years since I last used anything theirs.
Dont get the 7800 is all I can tell you, I have seen so many people saying how it just bricks or straight up burns up
ASUS is more about how they lately just offer shit quality for the higher price they had years ago when they were still top
>Asus PRIME B550-PLUS
It's quite fair. X570 usually comes with more usb and sata ports and extra nvme slots if you fancy that, but that begins to cost a pretty penny, so if you just have one nvme and only intend to plug that gpu in and nothing else, that's perfectly fine. Also check if the case you chose has a thunderbolt connector, because that motherboard features it.
Thanks.
I'll definitely look into this more, I have no intention of buying parts that are gonna die on me.
No problem. A lot of people are running ahead to adopt DDR5, but it is nowhere near the performance leap compared to the jump from DDR3 to DDR4. They are being ripped off for parts that perform more or less the same, or even worse, but have NUMBER GO HIGHER in the names and specifications. A CL 14 3600 DDR 4 ram would handily beat a CL 32 6400 DDR5 ram for example.
>7800

Do you want your PC to burn your entire house tomorrow?

2-3x less power taken while still mogging the 13900K on 1% lows.
Is Ryzen 5 7600 a good cpu? I don't wanna spend $1000 on a cpu. Just something good enough for 1080
There's little reason to go above R5 5600x unless you do heavy video editing. Very few games are so thoroughly cpu bound that you'd even feel a difference upgrading up from that and you start to hit massive diminishing returns in price to performance departments too.
i have a 7600x with a 4090 and im chillin at 4k tho so idk if you want heaps of fps or what at 1080p
i might upgrade next cpu gen because im probably not gonna be gayman too much in the future
also
is true, but up to date stuff will get further support, and if you have the want to frick around with 3d animation or something its probably worth just for piece of mind.
though your render time is your render time, you'll only notice it if you begin much bigger projects than a fiddler would do, whats 50 seconds to a scene or 30
especially since ive noticed you can actually use your computer still while rendering.
back in the day id run something and it essentially crashed lmao
Well, if anon wanted to do 3d animation, he wouldn't be looking at gaymur cpu's, he'd get a fricking treadripper or something.
no shit c**t, did i say do animation as his job or did i say frick around with it
dickhead
if you're this gay and moronic, (You) legitimately deserve console slop permanently
For me it's amd rx570 (I can't afford even the cheapies Nvidia card)
Imagine being American. I. the civilized world I'd have that replaced in 24 hours.
that's a crack, which means it's broken, not scratched.
OP is a homosexual and so is the guy who made the pic.
I don’t understand. Why would they refuse warranty for a crack but not for a scratch?
a crack can run through the whole board, usually means that undue stress was placed on the board, and can expose the internal wiring to corrosion, which will eventually kill the board.
It's because this crack is from stress. Specifically that anchor tab connects to a piece of the motherboard that 'locks' in to support the card against the slot it fits in. What likely happened is the person trying to return the card tried pulling the card out with significant force when they neglected to 'unlock' the tab. Like trying to open your car door without unlocking it, pulling off or bending the door handle and then telling the dealership you want them to replace the car under warranty.
>defending billion dollar company because consumer made an honest mistake
ok bootlicker
yeah sure I could dip it in salty water too, get it nice and clean. is that an "honest mistake"?
water not very good for gpu, but asus waterproof and very good for pc
>bootlicker
one person made a card of dubious quality, shit performance for the price they're asking. Another person was stupid enough to buy it and then tried yanking it out of a locked socket like a mongoloid, broke it, and cried to the company about it. Bootlicker indeed
I had a good experience
My 980Ti just broke after a year for no reason, so I RMA'd it and they sent me back a 1080 no questions asked
Still using it today, 6 years later
In posting this I went back and looked at the email and what I told EVGA about my situation, I guess I pretty thoroughly tried troubleshooting for them to give me the okay on it
But what surprised me was NVIDIA telling me my CPU was bad and it wasn't their fault
Suffice to say it was the GPU and NVIDIA were morons
>ANUS
Man, it's such a shame both asus and msi had hit the gutter quality wise. Back in the day you could actually expect good shit from them. Now you basically have no choice but to play chinese silicon roulette no matter what you buy.
What happen to MSI?
I got my first MSI b350m pro Ryzen mobo since 2017, just upgraded to 5600 from 2600 without any problem.
Horrid business practices and product quality so low that the 1050ti box that I got for my old pc years ago had spelling mistakes on it.
I thought they blew up a CPU just like asus, the one I currently got is pretty sturdy, make me want it to at least show any weird glitch so I can finally excuse myself to upgrade to AM5 but I back down and just upgrade the CPU..
>What happen to MSI?
they took this down only after significant backlash.
is that all?
yes. The amount of people that signed that video off as okay should be an indicator of the quality assurance of their products.
is MSI actually bad though is what I'm curious about, because I'm about to buy a MSI X670E TOMAHAWK
no msi is fine
Cringed so hard at this, reminds me of that black guy who needed a table to build a PC

I mean, yeah. Marketing shitter and CEOtard knows nothing about their own product.
Still not as bad as ANUS where they deliberately setting your mobo to OC setting as default setting so it looks better against competitor.

Well I suppose this justifies my recent Gigabyte mobo and gpu purchases
Anything is better than ANUS, they literally spend more money on marketing GAYMER brand than actually producing decent hardware.
in 2000 they are known for using the same heatsink design for every GPU to cut corner resulting in shitty thermal deliverance.
But hey, lets blame the GPU brand instead of shitty third party company ruining their product.
This is why I buy anything that close to reference design most of the time instead of buying anything with GAYMER bullshit on their box.
ANUS very good sars only costumers are bloody basterds.
>pcb cracked
deserved
Yeah maybe don't be a moronic gorilla next time.
This is why I make pseudo unboxing videos when I get components in case shit is delivered like this.
Also ASUS has been shit for years on customer support.
>that'll be an extra 15% on the price for no reason please
Superior quality components used to be the reason, but now that they're firmly in the pocket of nvidia, they're dogshit too.
>LE ASUS BAD!
Ok homosexuals, if le asus bad, what brand is le good? gigabyte? asrock?
There's no consistently good brands anymore, outside of maybe Samsung for SSDd's. Now all you can do is carefully research independent reviewers that haven't been bought out and check performance charts and still chances are you can get fricked by low quality sand.
cool cope. everything is chinese, so that's obvious.
>agrees with me but has to say some sort of an epic buzzword anyway
Do you have OCD?
Whichever brand has the best RMA service in your country. Avoid any which want you to ship your GPU halfway around the world (and pay for it) then take a month to send a replacement.
talking about motherboards, in this case.
Out of the 4 main brands probably Gigabyte for motherboards.
XFX are good cards but you're fricked if anything goes wrong with them, their customer service is horrible and their RMA centre is in Hong Kong.
I always get midrange cpus so I just buy Gigabyte mobos since it's usually the cheapest for its feature set. I heard mixed reports about pretty much every brand, I think these days you gotta research individual models instead of brands in general since their lineups are inconsistent.
Sapphire and PowerColor are pretty good in my personal experience.
XFX are also decent, but I don't know if they held.
XPG good in regards to PSU's because they are newcomers to the market and have to compete with established names, so they can't afford to cut corners and have to keep competitive pricing.
It's all garbage. You're just bouncing between trash peddlers, moving on to the one that hasn't pissed you off (yet). Until you run out, then you start giving second chances.
>if le asus bad, what brand is le good?
Unfortunately every generation it's a crap shoot these days. It's why you don't buy a 1.0 motherboard. Wait for at least a couple well informed reviews to come out and buy whatever is best.
nvidia?
gigabyte
amd?
sapphire and powercolor
G P U O N L Y
Gigabyte has good 40 series cards
I have a 2080 from Gigabyte and the fan curves on it are beyond atrocious. They spin up and stop over and over non-stop so running it without fan control software is impossible.
Have they improved?
>They spin up and stop over and over non-stop
Isn't every new cards like this now?
Even my RX6600 fans is not spinning right now because it only used 6watt when idle or browsing only.
MSI is the best.
Sadly the chinese gigabyte is one of the best at the moment, which just shows how far everything else has fallen.
But the bright side is PNY is pretty good and their company is growing.
yeah my pny 1060 is based as frick, with samsung ram.
>PNY
chinkshit with USA brand slapped on it
Does that crack even matter? It's on a silicone bit with nothing on it, and that's the locking bit too which is supposed to get the most amount of crappy contact due to the lock
My gaming laptop works great, just repaste it last week
it needs a crack so the light can shine in
My GPU checkboards when I scroll through twitter and sometimes youtube when I scroll. Weird as hell but I can still play cyberspunk just fine. Not sure what the deal is.
who asked?
Thanks for the (you) homosexual.
It's a chrome issue, turn off hardware acceleration
It's an Nvidia driver issue with Chrome you mean
chrome://flags/#use-angle
switch to openGL
I had that too, thought it was only a matter of time before the 3080ti kicked the bucket.
Glad it’s not.
Wait you guys don't live in a country that accepts refunds no matter what? Holy shit, it must be a 3rd world shithole.

>He thinks it's just Australia
I have bad news for you
Americans have no rights. They think getting fricked in the ass by corps on a daily basis is completely normal. This is news to you?
RMAs are a fricking racket. ASUS will probably put that card in a box and sell it as brand new.
Posting about warranty requests online is the ultimate proof that gamers are corporate bootlickers. Every single time for no reason or tangible benefit to themselves whatsoever, the internet will side with the company kek
>Asus
Serves them right.
Asus verree good sars, do not redeem the grrapheecs carrd.
SAR DO NOT REDEEM THE ASSUS SAR IT GOOD PRODUCT SAR!!
redeem deez nutz
do PC gays even play games or do they just circlejerk about hardware, benchmarks, framerates etc...
>UHHH WHY ARE YOU USING UP A THREAD TO DISCUSS HARDWARE?
Frick off
i was playing the demo for this earlier

Where is the scratch? I dont see it

Buy a whole different brand new 4070 TI from Amazon. When it arrives, open a return and put your broken card in there and send them that back.
Amazon is such a huge mega company, they don't and won't care and won't even do anything when you're found out. If you kept doing it, you'd be arrested for fraud, but if you do it once, no one will care. Some other poor sod will get your damaged card and then will just tell Amazon and get a new one, an apology and they will throw yours into landfill and wipe their hands of it.
If Capitalism scams you, find a way to scam them back.
I did this after drunkenly tearing the top open of my 50th anniversary star trek tos steelbox set. The serial code was on a removable page on the back of the box so I just put the new sticker on the old box lol
> Japs companies like NEC, Toshiba, Fujitsu, and Sony stopped producing PC components.
no wonder everything is always broken right now. It's all chinkshit.
>2023
>people still don't know modern GPU's sag until it's too late
It's not caused by sagging but by shipping/handling whole PC without any GPU support.
Yes, or morons not installing a bracket after buying.
Sagging alone won't break the PCB in a few months, it's more common to have memory solder joints broken from PCB flex or worse temps because cooler doesn't have full contact anymore.
>Physical damage
I don't blame anus for denying warranty but it's still shit design to route any traces through that part of PCB.
They don't give warranty because these morons don't use support brackets, if they did this would not happen.
if you bought a RX 7900 XTX, this wouldn't have happened to you.
sars I was promised geeft cards by ASUS, but where are they?
NO! THEY REDEEMED THE CARDS, BLOODY b***h BASTERD.
That literally only happens if you pry the card without removing the PCI lock first. It's a crack, not a scratch.
>um this happened because your own fault
>ASUS: warranty denied but we can repair it for double the price
PC gaming everyone.
>be a clumsy moron with delicate parts
>get burned
>surprised no one cares
>shitty company you decided to buy from acts like the shitty company you decided to buy from
Wow!
sar this very good argument, pretend ASUS good for one post and then bad the other, very dishonest and good
please sar understand, it is your fault ASUS makes poor product! do the needful and pay for fixing card, ASUS can not afford this, very poor company you see
Just don't be american, it's that easy.
>Being American, everyone.
ftfy
More like America gaming
Asus would be obligated to swap you a new card even if you send them one snapped in half
ASUS has been doing shady and lazy shit since GTX 480 era, dunno why people keep buying them.
ASUS very good what are you talking about Sameer.
They spend a lot of money on marketing.
Normalgays think Anus is somehow a premium brand but is chink mass produced garbage as any other piece of electronics.
every brand is chink shit now, dumb frickers
this thread is fullof morons, specially those claiming everybody is pajeet for knowing every chink shit is trash, you will buy it anyway, like /vp/ does. lmao.
Chink shit got much better since 2000s when "Made in China" meant "Avoid like the plague"
>Chink shit got much better
go back to Hainan, chang
Where is that exactly?
t. youropoor
I am from India sar
ah very sorry sar i didnt understand your message. english not first language you see??
That is still precisely my way of thinking
I'm aware that many things I own were made by chink slave labor, but only way to avoid that is to stop buying any electronics at all.
sure but they better at least do a good job hiding that it is a chinese pile of shit
Many companies moved last step of assembly to different countries to put different label.
>Didn't install support brackets on my RTX 4070 Ti
Welp. Time to buy one of those support braces.
Asus has had shitty RMA stuff for over a decade.
>buying nVidia
more like iNdia
Thats literally how every company operates, moron
Samsung wont give you a new phone if you have a tiny crack on the screen either, has nothing to do with PC gaming
>have a 500 gram card that's 20cm long
Sucks to be you morons with your bricks of shit
that's not a "scratch" that's a crack and it's what you get for being a moronic gorilla
>mfw have a 4090 with a big brace up the "face" of the card "ichill" and it might be sagging? i genuinley cant fricking tell
im pretty sure i just need to torque them again, but also i have a 2tb ssd to install so im kinda being a dumby thinking ima brick my pc by taking the gpu out to install an sssd lmao
its crazy how something working you desperately dont want to change things
Why would you contact Asus and not just return it at the store?
'MURRICA!
Depends on where you buy it. If you bought it from Microcenter they'll take it back and refund you or exchange it, no problems.
>Try to take it to the store
>"Sorry we don't deal with that you need to go to the manufacturer"
>Go to manufacturer
>"Sorry, you need to contact the seller if you want a replacement"
America doesn't have consumer protection laws.
i dont think you can deny warranty if its in the time limit but ok.
im probably wrong as usual which means certain warranties are just scum frick scams, like this.
that crack by the way is on a non traced part of the board so it wouldn't effect anything so again asus are scum, and I would be charging them 870$ t. electronic engineer.
>i dont think
You are correct.
>that crack by the way is on a non traced part of the board
You are wrong.
>t. electronic engineer
Bait.
>be american
>get buttraped by corp because american
>blame it on PC
Shart moment.
>nothing about OP indicating user is American
>BUT WHAT ABOUT AMERICA
Unequivocally, eternally, and irrevocably obsessed
Because if he wasn't he would have just returned it to the store for a full refund, only you third worlders simp for corporations.
>animeshitter

Tragic, truly tragic.
>>>Ganker is that way you stupid homosexual.
its not ust motherboards you have to play chink roulette with these days, its everything
what about hard drives?
sorry bub, all chink now, western digital (more like eastern digital), seagate, toshiba, all chink and every single one of them is using horrid business practices and ripping you off
enjoy your shingled drives, gays
EVGA botched their 1070 FTW3's and sent out heat pads that they allowed you to install yourself and would still cover your warranty if you fricked it up while installing them. Buy from a better company
>EVGA
RIP in peace.
>PCBlack folk AS ALWAYS SUCKING CORPOS wiener
Yeah, because we are the ones who pay for online, right?
>MUH ONLINE GAMES DUUD
you probably don't even play the things you consume
I have never needed warranty of anything in my entire life
that's icecream-in-hair territory
creeped me out
boner deflated
>DUDE TRANIME LMAO
>MUH 4CUK KULTUR MANE
frick off
/qa/ was right
>hates Ganker culture
>doesn't want to go back
Absolute moronation
/qa/ was filled with annoying raid Black folk that botted and ban-evaded the board and drowned out all legitimate complaints and suggestions until the mods just decided /qa/ was more trouble than it's worth.
/qa/ originalgay here
no we weren't
>870 dollars for a 70 series TI card
fricking LMAO
It's "4080 12GB" don't forget that.
>bought a MSI card when prices were mega inflated
>3 years of warranty
>it starts artifacting 2 months before the warranty expires
>they just refund what I had paid for plus tip no questions asked
>buy better GPU
Their Customer Support is alright in my c**t
Its his fault for buying ASUS. Last 2 years their quality in product and customer support has dropped drastically.
Lenovo fixed my laptop for free even though I blew a capacitor in it when changing the ram lol. I was expecting them to refuse it because I blew the capacitor.
>Lenovo
enjoy your spyware, bros
who am I supposed to be buying motherboards from?
nobody, just don't use computers, sir. do not redeem the pc parts.
>Doesn't read the warranty policy
>Gets surprised when his damaged product isn't fit for warranty
So you're not a PC gamer because you can't read? Seems legit a good reason.
>Be american
>Have no rights and protections
>Seethe online instead of demanding the government implement proper citizen protections and rights
Why are they all like this?
you could snap off that whole piece and the GPU HAS to work because that part is a KEEP OUT ZONE IN THE PCIE STANDARD. It's clear they're just being major israelites.
