So did you get a warranty replacement?
Extreme Odyssey 1.5mm. Two packs.
I did yeah.
I see varying opinions on this but it could just come down to the quality of pad. The US guys use the Gelid brand and tend to see no results with 1.5 and instead use 2 and 3.
Glad it worked out.
Was it the same card just repaired or did you get replacement?
Replacement. It was new by the looks of things. It was in a retail box and fully sealed.
@StephenJ yeah if you look at my previous posts (I should probably update the original post) I had to push back after they initially declined.

Yep, nice to see honesty paying off for a change! Fair play to the op.

Yeah this is what I also see 1.5mm seems to be for 3090 and 2mm for 3080
Should I say ... "cracking" ending
Absolutely brilliant pal, changing the title to include this.Should I say ... "cracking" ending
Did you have to arrange the shipping to Hong Kong yourself or did they supply a prepaid returns label? Did you buy it from them when they sold on their own store or did you buy it from that other retailer that is doing founders? My card has just died, so fun times ahead. I have sent a ticket to the retailer and to Nvidia tonight, see who comes through.
there is a chance the retailer may refund you. i wouldnt risk it and would rma it to nvidia directly.
They provided shipping there and back.
Make sure to print everything twice (even the copies). The collection driver will ask for the copies and will refuse collection if they're not there.

Thanks for the info. I'll await a reply from them regarding my ticket ai submitted.
