[Update] ASUS accepted my RMA, replaced a 2.5 year old 4870.
Well, I bought a 4870 here on the TPU forums and it's given up the ghost. The fan controller died (but not the fan) a week before it started going crazy with artifacts/crashes and it's sat on my desk for about a month until I finally got the thought to look and see if it was still under warranty.
"Naaaah. This thing is two generations old now." but I logged on to ASUS's website and looked it up. Three year warranty and according to the serial number on the card, I have 6 months left on my warranty. Aweeeeesome!
I request a RMA and a couple days later, they accept! I had replaced the dead fan with a generic 80mm fan and had lost two of the four screws that hold the stock fan down. I have replaced the fan for the RMA using the two screws I had left.
So, anyone else have experience with ASUS's RMA service? I've heard good things about their service department, but do you think they'd reject it due to two screws?
Update: On March 24, I received my replacement 4870. Oddly, they did not notify me that my card was received, accepted or that a replacement had been set out. Details on page 2.
