warranty? pffft..

[S77th-konkussion]

Well for reasons unknown- one of my video cards was screeching when came home this AM.. Fan had dropped, or sagged.. whatever. and was rubbing against the case of the card. :huh:

 

Anyway- Took whole thing apart, and after an exhaustive but fruitless inspection -trying to locate a reason for the fan to have so much play on the shaft-- a little Dremel action, a little filing.. open up the hole a bit / create a little clearance.. bada bing! Quieter than new... :thumbup:

 

But what would cause the fan to sag down? Everything seemed to be OK visibly. No missing retainer clips, etc.. The fan was just suddenly able to sag down and start dragging on the case..

Heh, warranty...

 

...the warranties on pretty much any computer component I purchase is voided within 30 minutes of me unboxing them. :P

I love warranties.........Swopped my 4870x2 for a 5870 courtesy of a warranty and quite a few strongly-worded e-mails!

Fff, wuss.

 

My Asus EEE did keeps it's warranty longer than customary though - I think it was a full month before I overclocked it's Intel GMA GPU. :P

(Though technically that's not really an overclock - those things have underclocked and undervolted GPU's to save on battery time.)

i sent in an ASUS a 4870 and they wanted to send me a 5770 back. I laughed and demanded a 5850 at least , that i sold for $265 bucks. They sent the 5850 with no arguments.
