replacing thermal paste & warranty

Personally I'd like things to work the same as CPU's. Manufacturers releasing OEM cards with no cooling at all, and leaving it up to the user to sort out a solution. You'd only get an OEM warranty, but that's better than no warranty at all after you've invalidated it.

this is actually a really good idea, ofcourse its not going to happen, but i like it all the same.

From the General conditions of warranty (http://eu.evga.com/support/warranty/#general):
The product is returned to EVGA in the original factory configuration and condition. All aftermarket modification must be reversed before sending in the product for replacement.

You can RMA directly back to EVGA: http://eu.evga.com/articles/00602/
Cards are available on OcUK but you pay a premium. This is why.

Ok this seems nice, but if you purchase outside of "December 2010 and January 2011" will you have to pay RMA shipment costs ? That's what I would like to avoid (by RMAing at the shop directly). Curious to know for my future purchases. If EVGA could make "Special Introductory GTX 580/570/480 EVGA Advanced RMA (EAR) Offer*!" permanent regardless of date when you buy it then that would be pretty awesome :D Neverthless it's still quite awesome compared to other manufacturers. Btw I am not from UK but over here EVGA prices seems to be pretty competitive, it's just 580s are out of stock. (and I much prefer buying locally with 0 shipment costs)

Yes I wish they could adopt it into their designs as well. Unfortunately I guess that even the possibility that Intel will develop its own on chip GPUs that will be competitive with high end Nvidia/AMD is more likely :/
