Not sure you can do a returns RMA through eBay?? TBH, if the card works fine. There's no need to RMA it  :lol:

Yes and the reason i dont want to return it to the seller is because it came with a backplate and waterblock and i only paid $350 so it would be a better deal to keep the $150 worth of watercooling parts and just RMA

Yeah, you still need to prove to the manufacturer when you purchased it. I'm not sure how they would deal with a second hand purchase.

There is absolute no way the manufacturer is gonna accept the RMA based on cosmetic damage that has most likely happened due to use.

Like i said i called them up and said, "Hey i have a card with a fan sticker damaged and a bent HDMI port and he said reassemble it and send it in" its already approved. Read through the comments

Fair enough. Not all manufactures would be so forth coming. Most cases you would need to show proof of purchase, I.E original purchase. I don't know what they would do with second hand purchases. It's unsure to say with confidence that they would definitely replace it no questions asked. 

 

Seen as they have said they would replace it for you. Go ahead and do it. A brand new card at the price of a second had purchase is always best!

Are you seriously staring at your graphics card with the thing powered down instead of actually using it? Even with a windowed panel, I doubt you'll notice anything major when the thing is running under normal use. I have OCD too, but this is ridiculous.

 

Edit: Okay, the HDMI port being bent is a more serious concern, I suppose. :ph34r:
