What do you think I'll get back in replacement? In Evga T&C they say I'll get a refurb, would you use a refurbished PSU or would you sell it and get a Seasonic Prime 80+ Titanium? Really feel dubious about using PSU's now as I've had a XFX fail (no damage to pc) then this one after 3 years (35 months) starts killing GPU's.

Shouldn't the replacement come with the balance of the warranty? No idea how it works but if I'd bought something with a ten year warranty I wouldn't be happy if the replacement only had a year!

No as I forgot to register, I did just after the 30 days :rolleyes: I got 3 years warranty, I brought it on 30th october 2013 so just in warranty and what happens is EVGA say that the warranty continues on from the original products warranty, so I'll probably get one that is about to kill my whole PC this time :D

TBH I've had enough of PSU's doing stuff to me, I had a XFX Core Edition 550w before the Evga and that ended up dying slowly and managed to get a refund on it. I don't seem to get any luck with them.

Yes if you damage the 'warranty void if removed' sticker. I would RMA it in your case, as a fan with a busted bearing is only going to get noisier.

Mine just fell off and I put it to one side and ended up losing it, luckily I told Evga and they said it was fine however I still have the original box with warranty sticker on that.

I thought so, the problem is the fan noise is intermittent, and I don't want to send it away just for them to say they could not hear anything :/

Look at the PSU, I think you will find that the warranty sticker doesn't cover anything that would avoid you taking it apart.

Well it'd work :D It was also a joke, I should have put the /s.

Have you tried using the switch on the back to turn the fan off? If will turn it back on under sustained heavy load when your gaming but most of the time it will be just off, i used it for a while until i replaced my fan, made it much less annoying as i couldnt hear it over game sounds only if i muted the games or when i ran benchmarks.

Not all the Supernova' have that switch, my old one didn't.

EDIT: Good new Evga appear to be sending me a P2 1000w! Nice of them to upgrade me, if it works well I'll be keeping it.

Alright thought I'd just drop in and say the RMA was successful so far, seems to be no issues with the replacement. Evga all round customer service was excellent, shame I had to pay the £10 courier though.
