MSI Warrenty.

[Lumaci]

A few days ago i went into a store to buy me a gpu, i found a MSI 1080ti on sale, and only gpu in store so i had no choice but to go with it.

Now im thinking about doing a custom loop again, but id love to keep my warrenty semi valid since ive had some problems with my pc before i got the new parts.

So would i void the warrenty by installing a EKWB 1080TI block? Some forums says yes, some says no.

I've heard pretty good reviews about it so yeah go with it

the only company that is yes is EVGA

is there anything on the GPU that would indicate a void warranty? like a sticker that has to be removed?

I would say install the waterblock BUT

be very careful when removing the original cooler and make sure you can delicately store any stickers

so that if anything goes wrong you can just reverse the process and re-install the stock cooler

 

Thats how i would do it - but i also dont know how complicated the cooler might be

MSi Costumers Service is a nightmare on Latin America, the worse there is by far even Zotac has a better service.

 

About playing with water, only EVGA fully covers it.

Almost all GPU manufactors puts 2 stickers on the original cooler to see if its been taking off or not but many of the manufactors just put them there since they have to and they really dont do much.

But not sure if its the case with MSI aswell.

I know EVGA is nice about it, had no choice but to do with MSI since it was the only gpu manufactor the store sells for aswell as the price was like 100 - 200 dollars cheaper then every where else so was this or nothing.

But my second card will most deffo be from EVGA.

But i just wanna know if MSI still covers it since some forums says they do if the product is not directly broken or theres parts missing.

Ive seen some MSI mods write "as long as you keep it and do not damage the card while removing it the warranty is fine!"

But its on really old forums from 2009 - 2013 and i know they change their rules once in a while so would love to see a comment from some one that had a RMA with them and the stickers removed

Msi put their warrenty sticker on the screws. If you want to take the cooler off, use pliers to take the screws off without damaging the sticker, problem solved about warrenty.
