Zotac RMA procedure?

[asteldian]

Hey all, was wondering if anyone was familiar with Zotac and their RMA - specifically, if I need to do it, where do I have to send it?
I am deciding which gpu to buy whilst on holiday in US and the Zotac is under £200 for their basic gtx 970. But with risk of coil whine I want a convenient RMA service, especially as I won't be able to return to store.
My original option was to go with a gigabyte because I know they have a UK based service. Obviously their cards are more expensive, but if Zotac is a pain then I will pay the extra.

No experience with zotac personally but this thread might help:

Thanks, good to know they have a UK number, unfortunately doesn't tell me if UK based, so may play it safe with Gigabyte

There is a chance that a US card would require warranty return to US centre. It depends on if Zotac enforce returns to region of purchase based on serial number of card.

Hmm, never even thought about that. While it seems silly, I wouldn't put it past companies to do that
