EVGA RMA replacement a rip off?

[Zinn]

evga previously approved the stepup for my card. it doesn't matter what the policy is in this instance because if it was eligible for stepup before (which it was) there should be no problem this time.

i think you are wrong.

The cosmetic defects you keep concentrating on really have no bearing on the lifespan of the card....

Your fault + Darwin caved = grats to you.

...and while there may be some rough spots in the process, they are trying to get it right

They had it right to start with.

Looks to me like the resurrection of a 3 week old thread detailing the fact Evga caved x 2. But that's just me....

I suggest avoiding them at all costs. i know i will from now on.

I guess this comment has been thrown out the window?

its not like this thread was 3 years old.

no my comment has not been thrown out the window. it was a hassle that could have been avoided with better customer service, but it ended well, so i'm good. oh well. i will try the new card once i get the new harddrives tmw . i'll put them both in at once

Hey, I just want to mention that my lone RMA experience with EVGA was outstanding. My 680i died a month ago, and while I try to maintain backups and spares such that I won't be screwed if a part dies, I had just started on a new development project and several important files were located on a hard drive array tied to the motherboard's RAID controller (and for some reason I didn't have them in source control.) As I didn't have a spare 680i, I needed a working replacement as soon as possible. After explaining the situation, they were gracious enough to offer me a cross-shipped advanced RMA, and after explaining that they were backed up on RMA shipments due to being closed for the holidays, they added overnight shipping (all at no charge.)

EVGA has proven their excellent reputation in my book. Outstanding support from such a small company. Best yet, the RMA replacement board is proving to be a keeper. Even when OC'd, the mcp temp remains just below 50c, which is very cool (for a 680i mcp) with only the stock fan attached. From everything I've seen and read, a cool MCP = stable and long lasting 680i.
