MSI response on Oil Fan Leakage!

What you going to do?
As for me, nothing at this time as I have no fan issue at the moment and I don't mine, fan is about 85% in gaming and temps 65C MAX
They didn't hold their hands up first though and neither did OCUK, not sure why people are so quick to say "Well done".
Anyway, at least this will put some positives thoughts for those that have had the issue

Mine wasn't running at 100% fan speed when the leak occurred, it was usually around 50-60% fan speed.
Pretty much, they are putting more blame on people mining and running 100% fan speed
. Sorry it's not your fault, it's our fans they are ****, is what they should be saying

True but they did need to get hold of faulty cards, identity the problem then see if its batch related to cards or fan batch etc...as they did with the multiple 7950 problems.
Can't expect them to issue an RMA statement straight off the bat, it would cause them no end of headaches

Well my GTX770 Gaming Edition leaked oil without any fan speed adjusting...
Even if improved since nov 2013, suspect they will still be sleeve bearing fans.

I may get flamed for this, but it's hardly the manufacturers fault if people buy something then use it in a way it was never designed/intended/expected to be used and it fails as a result.
If somebody bought a VW Polo from their local dealer then entered it in the Paris–Dakar rally and the suspension broke then they posted about it in the motors subsection complaining about VW's shocks they would get eaten alive.

Took my MSI GTX 780 TwinFrozr Gaming OC card out yesterday (replaced it with a GTX 780 with reference cooler to match the build), and there was no leaking even after being a card in a 3-way SLi setup. It usually ran at 45-47% fan speed at hit the lower 70's at max load.
What part do you not understand?
Are you and MSI trying to say all the cards were in a hot environment, running 100% fan as mining?
The fans are flawed end of.
So the fan isn't designed to run at 100%? The card isn't designed to get hot at all?
This ^
Basically according to MSI the fans are not designed to cool a hot gpu or run at the highest speed!

WT_?
See this? its a Tahiti LE (1536 SP), its mine, it has one 92mm fan and a pathetic excuse for a HS, under that huge steel black shroud there is a lump of Alloy that's no bigger than your hand.
@ 1200 / 1600 it never gets over 75c on a quiet 40% fan profile.
Something wrong with your GPU's cooling or is your case just not much good?

Yes, it's my case which cooled my 660 overclocked to the point it never went over 55C in games
and my CPU never gets over 65C through prime. The msi Fans are just not very good!Oh just noticed you posted a 7870 ( Totally different cards )

That can't be true, you must've been mining at 100% fan speed. Msi says YOU LIE!
He has one of those special Beta Nvidia Cudacoins cards.
