Does changing the cooling on a BFG 8800 void the warranty?

[elfy]

really?
think they will give me 'ought for an XFX 6800?

from what i've read xfx don't exactly have the best returns facility in any dimension

I've got one other quick question, if anyone's still reading this.

On the ThermalRight site they say that there's two versions of the HR-03 one that only fits the 8800 GTX, and the other which fits both ("-PLUS") the GTX and GTS variants.

The one on OCUK says "8800 GTX" and doesn't mention the GTS, do you know if it's the right one? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-038-TR

the ocuk one does not come with the correct HSI heatsink to fit the GTS! You can contact the manufacturer Thermalright after you have bought it with a copy of your invoice and their sales department will send one out free of charge

They did so with me and the whole process took around a week! It came from Japan i think.

Go with the EVGA card.

Excellent aftersales

Lifetime warranty

And 90 day step up program


And XFX aftersales sucks big time

My EVGA GX2's kitted out with a swiftech spacer and two zalman fatalities! Good to know the warranties intact... i was getting worried!

I'll try and get some of it out of the case. Here's one of it installed just before i got my GTX:

Totally silent and great temps. Clocked from 500/600 to 600/830 and doesn't go over 55 degrees C fully loaded.

Got 9331 marks in 3DMark06 with an Opteron 165 clocked to 2.88ghz.
