Another MSI fan oil leak

[TOL247]

i have a MSI 280X and have read all the problems with the oil leaking from the fans. Mine has been leaking for a while but i wasn't too concerned about it until tonight when the fan started rattling.
My question is if i RMA it to Overclockers will they send it away to MSI or give me a direct replacement although they dont have any in stock at the moment.
Oh and it was bought in January.
Thanks tol.

Probably they will send it back to MSI to get it replaced.
I had problems with a MSI 7950 and took 20 days to get a new one.
Remember to send the card only, without box and accessories.

This is likely the cause of what happened to me, which I detailed here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18607278

My first replacement was sent directly from OCUK, but I think that was only because I only had it for 2 weeks before I made the RMA request. I think now MSI will send the replacement, I could be wrong though.
