I'm pretty sure OcUK aren't going to be lying about the warranty terms they offer lol.

I think you will find warranty starts from the day of purchase by the consumer, as with all products sold in the UK.
Can you link to your source?

I bought a graphics card (8800GT) from OcUK with a three year warranty. When it developed a fault after 2.5 years OcUK advised me to contact Gigabyte. Gigabyte refused to give me a RMA stating warranty starts from manufacture date which they can tell from the serial number. Maybe I should have gone back to OcUK but I did not pursue it any further..

Read this.

Warranty Effective On Date of Manufacture

GIGABYTE determines warranty based on the manufacture date. The manufacture date can be verified by the serial number found on the product. The first four digits after "SN" determine the year and week of manufacturing date. For example:

"4719331822101 SN082540084966" represents the 25th week of 2008

You have linked the USA site which is different as they aren't bound by UK consumer regulations

The UK site says contact place of purchase.

Including reading the bit where it says it only applies to north America?

Like I said before OcUK did not honour the warranty and advised me to contact Gigabyte. I think OcUK need to clarify this matter: will they honour the full three year warranty?

MagicBoy · 16 Jul 2013 at 15:53

Confirmed in Post #38 by OcUK. Nuff said.

Your very miss informed.

Warranty is 3 years or 2 years (depending on SKU) from date of purchase from us as its new until that point.

The problem with that in the EU and the UK is that the stock could sit for 2 years and 11 months of its life in the hub in the netherlands. Why should a customer only then get 1 month warranty as a result of this??

Warranty is from date of receipt in the UK and EU as per trading law

Nice price! /Borat

Nuclear Fusion · 16 Jul 2013 at 23:45

Couldn't resist at this price, bought one along with a 2500k off the MM for my brother!

Alexrose1uk · 16 Jul 2013 at 23:57

Good board this even if it doesn't have the most features

Got my 2700K to 4.6!

No onboard USB 3.0 header?

The question is...did you or did you not approach Gigabyte with a receipt/invoice from a recognised UK reseller/retailer (OcUK in this case)? Cause without prove of purchase, the chances are the best that Gigabyte can do is counting the warranty from the manufactured date.

Yes I did. They told me to go to the seller because the warranty with them had expired.

Sorry for the bump but will this only work with 2nd generation 2500k?

Looking to pick up a cheapish gaming build.

RJC · 28 Jul 2013 at 18:55

The board can run Ivy Bridge with the correct BIOS, Not sure what Rev board Ocuk have got.

Z e e b R a a · 28 Jul 2013 at 19:20

I see an earlier post saying these are Rev 2.

So would that be good with sandybridge and ivybridge, with the correct bios?

Majority of 2500k I see are 2nd gen so Sandybridge?

OT but what's the going rate for a 2500k?

Uther · 28 Jul 2013 at 19:47

2500k=Sandybridge
3570k=Ivybridge

S/H 2500k's go for around £100-£110 now.
The board I got here recently is Rev 2.0. Not built yet (still waiting for a cpu) so no idea on the bios version. A 2500k will/should work no problem, a 3570k 'might' need a bios update.
