AIB Warranty transferable

[joedeath332]

What if any of the 3080 AIB Manufacturers allow the transfer of their warranty to a different owner.

Very interested in this also, would certainly add to resale value.

Exactly my reason for wanting to know this.

I'd heard EVGA do but never tested it myself.

EVGA are (or have already) downscaled their UK operations, so any RMA requests would require international shipping etc, as such even if they did offer transferable warranty I suspect OP would want to steer clear and find a UK based supplier.

isnt EVGA in germany? but i heard they have stopped doing the transferable warranty now though, cant remember where i heard it though.

I think I'll be avoiding Gigabyte after just reading a thread on this forums about different users very bad experiences with the RMA process and having to pay £15 for postage.

MSI base warranty on the serial number for date of manufacture if you don't have an invoice.

Taken from the evga EU webpage, they still offer second hand warranty but I believe an original purchase receipt is required or receipt from the second hand purchase i.e. eBay receipt

Transferable Limited Warranty (Second-Hand Purchasers)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, the Transferable Limited Warranty is available to second-hand purchasers with a valid proof of purchase from a reseller. The limited warranty on any Product which was originally shipped from EVGA or an Authorized Reseller as a demo or prize is not transferable to second-hand purchasers and is not covered by the Transferable Limited Warranty.

EVGA are regarded as the best for RMA, no matter the location.

From OCUK, I'd argue Asus are better. As OCUK handle RMA for Asus.

Yeah apart from the second owner RMA which puts EVGA ahead

I was trying to highlight that EVGA's UK support is seeing a marked changed with closing of their UK RMA centres, nothing against EVGA per se, in fact my current card is an EVGA.

But why would he/she want to steer clear of they offer exactly what he's looking for ?

The point is that there was a recent change in EVGA's UK operations on the issue of care (RMA etc), for some, including myself, faffing about sending expensive hardware overseas introduces an additional potential fail point, I just wanted highlight that.

There was a big thing about this stopping and ocuk not telling us so people still bought the ASUS stuff but never got the better warranty.
