How cool is EVGA? I'm about to find out.
So, I recently discovered that the awesome lifetime warranty for my EVGA GTX260 SSC only applies if it was registered within 30 days of purchase...which it wasn't... I didn't think anything of it before, but the same day I found out about that requirement, I discovered that EVGA's lifetime warranty covers GPUs that have been converted to watercooling!
So, with that in mind.. The temp sensor on the card died several weeks ago. I decided to ignore it and hope that it wasn't indicative of any serious trouble. ...bad idea, as it turns out... Last night my computer started randomly locking up and showing solid pastel colors on the two screens hooked up to my 260. Today when I went to boot it up...only the onboard GPU was working. :(
So, I went ahead and got an account on EVGA's website, registered my card, uploaded a PDF of the receipt, and sent in a ticket explaining my situation.
I've never dealt with EVGA's support before, but I've heard that it's stellar, so.. *crosses fingers* Here's hoping that they decide to approve my RMA even though I didn't register the card...two years ago...
EDIT:
In case they won't approve it...would anyone be interested in trading an 8800 GTX for a GTX260 (192) DD Tieton block with rear copper brace and single-bay faceplate?

Great news! Even though I didn't register it, so technically my warranty expired about a year ago, they ok'd a one-time replacement! :D
The replacement won't have any warranty, but hey, at least I don't have to buy a new card! :D

That, combined with aftermarket coolers and watercooling not voiding their warranties...yeah, definitely. :D

Awesome!!! EVGA is one of the best!

EVGA is one of the best GFX card makers.

For ATI, I would go with XFX. They seem to be about as cool as EVGA about stuff.
