It's not unheard of as they can go off the S/N Number. That's what they did with a Gigabyte UD7 Mobo I RMA'd many moons ago.

Not that I know off. Just go with the Gigabyte if going 2nd hand and worried about it.
Yup, go with Gigabyte, UK repair centre for the cost of the postage both ways. Turn around is often under a week vs 30 days+ with MSI via the retailer. Generally you'll need a proof of purchase but that should be easy to obtain from the buyer, just get him to e-mail the retailer for a PDF copy.

Still think we need add/create a list of which manufactures allow an RMA to be completed with the removal of the GPU cooler! It's like searching for a needle in a haystack trying to find this information.
If there's no damage done I don't see why it should be an issue, some manufacturers are really anal about that though. =/
You'd think If it were a problem the ones that didn't allow it would have those "warranty void" stickers over screwholes. But it seems pretty random if you get those on cards or not.
I'm rmaing my asus 7990, not liking the sound of that 6 weeks.

EVGA do allow it
Any sign of a UK RMA address to post returns to? EVGA have mentioned its in the works for years but nothing ever comes of it.

aaand now I regret buying my XFX 280x...
My 7990 is winging its way to asus, I'm about 99% certain they'll try and wriggle out of replacing it just because the thermal paste was changed and some mysterious microscopic "damage" was done by me to the board (seems to be their usual warcry to get out of replacing defective products). I checked it all over before sending it and could see nothing wrong with it, be interesting to see how this pans out..
