Does EVGA Care?

Go to solution Solved by manikyath,

since evga doesnt care if you swap coolers, i dont think they'll mind overclocking.

 

now if you're straight up stupid and fry the card by dragging the voltage slider ALL the way up...

I'm considering OCing my EVGA SC ACX 2.0 980 Ti since on heavily modded Skyrim I get sub-60 FPS. In terms of a warranty should something go wrong, would EVGA replace my card or is the warranty automatically voided? I know EVGA is pretty chill when it comes to this stuff.

Performance expert, building noob. 

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.

Well, there is no way of telling that your card was overclocked.

EVGA doesnt care, if you return the card if its broke. It needs to run on stock config. If you dont do that, you wont get a refund.
