Posted April 24, 2019 I've been looking at this sale on newegg for an EVGA 2070. ( https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487412 ) It has pretty low reviews from January but I think that's just due to some defective products from Q1. Considering EVGA's warranty policies, if on the off chance that I get a defective product, will I be fine or will it be money down the drain?

Posted April 24, 2019 You should be fine. I would go through Newegg first on the chance that you get a DOA product or if it's in that 30 day warranty window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 24, 2019 If EVGA's warranty isn't good enough, you shouldn't buy anything EVGA will usually send you another unit, since this is a widely occurring problem on a in-production card CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1 Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync Desktop benching: Cinebench R15 Single thread:168 Multi-thread: 833 SuperPi (v1.5 from Techpowerup, PI value output) 16K: 0.100s 1M: 8.255s 32M: 7m 45.93s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 24, 2019 I had a broken used 1070ti from EVGA. No receipt or anything, they still covered it under warranty for free for me. Very good customer service at EVGA. If you have proof of purchase they'll even advanced RMA you a card (send a replacement out immediately) Gaming - Ryzen 5800X3D | 64GB 3200mhz | MSI 6900 XT | Mini-ITX SFF Build Home Server (Unraid OS) - Ryzen 2700x | 48GB 3200mhz | EVGA 1060 6GB | 6TB SSD Cache [3x2TB] | 66TB HDD [11x6TB] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - so it would be a very convenient process if you got a DOA. You might actually go right through Newegg though for the RMA.
