MSI Trio Super RTX have fan noise issues as the 3rd fan sticks also the weight is ridiculous even with the included GPU brace not sure the PCI-E slot will last with such a hefty HSF attached to the MSI! Get the MSI dual fan version(s) its way lighter & not much difference FPS wise 2-3% slower.

Is this widespread?

@Gibbo are you sure Asus are going to payback the cash in a timely manner? Asus aren't exactly know for their great customer service and you've had issues with other manufactures before with cashback deals (namely MSI). How can you be sure this will be different?

I can't, simple fact is they will pay, but I cannot guarantee in what time frame as I have no control over that, all we can guarantee is they will pay as we have a contract our end stating as such.

Do some research yourself elsewhere !

I did after I bought the GPU and had issues with the 3rd fan sticking on 100%! If you do not care about a quiet PC then it probably will not matter to you but the MSI Dual Fan gaming RTX2xxx are superb & silent most of the time (although HSF is still very heavy).

Oh

oh, ok. I only asked as you raised the issue. Was just a question!

I might just get an FE or Palit

Hey @Gibbo! I'm not seeing the blower 5700XT (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/Asus...DDR6-PCI-Express-Graphics-Card-GX-43C-AS.html) on the ASUS Rate my Gear list (https://rate-my-gear.sales-promotio...nditions-promotion/14996/?country_promotion=2)? Can you clarify? Cheers!!

Gibbo · 26 Nov 2019 at 11:32

Hi there

These also fall under the Asus Game Bundle offer campaign too:
https://promotion.asus.com/en/uk/radeonbundle

These cards are such an epic deal with this cashback and game bundle offering by Asus!

freebooter · 26 Nov 2019 at 12:17

@Gibbo I see you posted at 18:08 yesterday that the offer was live. I ordered yesterday at about 14:30 iirc. The product page had all the details of the offer and the title included the £65 discount. I assume my order will qualify?

I'd like to know this too, I'm about to order the asus reference 5700xt but can't see it on the rate my gear list

So are OCUK refunding the cash back themselves and then claiming the cash back from ASUS?

Because if not i''d be sceptical about how fast asus will refund people their cash backs, 'mail in rebates' in another marketing ploy bright in the from the US and they can be an absolute nightmare, with mucho delap and hoopo jumping. So I would tread with caution as a consumer on 'cashback' deals. Now if OCUK are refunding without reference to asus approval I would be more trusting of a deal like this.

Agree they should just knock the price off in the first place and stop wasting time and effort on the whole claiming/rebate process.

It is on the £40 refund page (which can't be claimed before 9th Dec) but not the Rate my Gear one. That just has the Dual, Rog Strix and Tuf 5700s listed. I assume they just haven't updated the website yet but it would be nice to have it confirmed.

As far as I can see they are both direct from Asus.

Asus will update to include them on list.
Asus are paying cashback offers, NOT OcUK!

I'd be very wary then, there's no reason for all the shenanigans, just drop the price. People in the US have had lots of issues with MIR's, companies don't want to refund and when they do they drag their feet. I thought that OCUK were refunding then claiming back from Asus. The retailer should be refunding this, they're the vendor ultimately. OCUK get their sales, the customer gets all the hassle of dealing with Asus and their customer service dept.

We requested and pushed very hard for this, they would not do it.

If you don't want the hassle of cashback and claiming with Asus, then I am sorry to say but simply do not buy.

RusstheDroog · 27 Nov 2019 at 16:45

I've just ordered the blower type 5700. I'll let you know how i get on with cashback shenanigans.

Gibbo · 28 Nov 2019 at 09:57

The Ratemygear site has now being updated as promised to include these cards.
