So OcUK will cover the warranty for the full 5 years?
The only reason I ask is because I'm in the market for a new card (and this is a fantastic deal), but I'm rather hesitant about using Zotac as I've heard their RMA/customer service isn't the best. However if OcUK are honouring the warranty that Zotac provides then that would certainly settle some nerves.
I don't think OcUK will replace the card directly if it fails after a few years but I believe they will handle the RMA process for you, so you'd return the card to themselves and they would deal with Zotac.
Still far better than trying to deal with Zotac directly. If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll be corrected, but that's my take on it.
Yeah, having read a few things on the site I believe you're correct.
I went ahead and ordered one last night anyway before the deal expired, and it should be arriving tomorrow! £368.99 for a 1070 was simply irresistible.

GAH! Not the first time this has happend to me with DPD either, oh well its only 24 hours
Delivery driver threw a sickie I expect! Hope you didn't take a day off!
Card came and installed, can anyone who got one answer me to say if there ports, sli connectors and pci-e connectors had any of the plastic protective plugs on??? mine didn't and all other cards recently did
Nope, installed it today and there were no protective plugs. The card just came in a rather thick antic static bag. The rest (PCI-E connectors etc) were in plastic bags.
P.S. Don't forget to register your card on Zotac's website.
I've umm'ed and ahh'ed for months over a new card but now I've finally bit the bullet and ordered one of these bad boys! I expect it'll be quite a jump over my amd 7950
Good call!
Were selling about £30-£40 below new buy-in due to have crazy weak the pound has gone this week.
Were holding the price until Wednesday, then these are going up towards £400 until the pound recovers.
Get them whilst they are cheap!
How good (or bad) is the cooler on this card in both temps and noise?
Was looking at getting a Palit Gamerock/Jetstream until I read all the negativity about the huge amount of failures.
Also can this card overclock much on the stock cooler?
