Above unit went bang on me recently after approx 3 years of use,had been running it in a modestly specced HTPC which was also used for occasional gaming.
Contacted overclockers following the failure and they advised me to contact PCP & Cooling directly,I wasn't holding out too much hope of an exchange as OCZ have now taken over PCP & Cooling and the 510sli no longer seems to be available.
I received a reply from OCZ/PCP & C within a few hours and after the usual serial no/model no info was given to them they gave me the choice of returning the unit to the U.S for repair or to their service centre in Amsterdam for exchange. Decided on the exchange in Amsterdam and so sent the unit off expecting to receive a refurbed 510 sli in a week or 2.
I was both shocked and well chuffed to receive this via courier today!
It seems afterall that not all companies are out to take our money and then wash their hands of us. This unit seems like overkill for an HTPC but I'm in the throws of converting the system into a full gaming htpc so may use it depending on available space in the Silverstone LC17 case I intend using for the project,if it's too big then look out for it in MM or on the Bay.
