can't fix stupid bro, how does gigabyte know you didn't apply the paste properly?
Lucas Butler
fuck i got lucky i had a old psu go kaput (silverstone 1kw beast) back when i had a 390x and my ryzen build, luckily nothing was damaged
You done fucked up, the stock gigabyte paste on the G1 is actually damn good
if my 1080 pops outside of warranty ill go get a navi/vega
nvidia done goofed with ampere
Isaiah Sanchez
>liquid metal >removing this sticker will void your warranty
Sebastian Hughes
GPU typically don't have a heatspreader on them, the IHS are directly mounted to the die. removing the IHS to do repairs is most likely a common practice. as soon as they took it off, bam, obvious.
Even if you reversed the mod, they take one look at that non-oem thermal paste and you still get warranty denied.
Heck some GPU screws even that blue or some color seal that break off when you turn them.
Ayden Hughes
Buy EVGA next time, they don't care what you do to their cards.
Grayson Williams
What seasonic?
William Gonzalez
nigger
Easton Parker
Kinda unrelated questions.How long did they take to send it back?
I just sent mine in to them today because one of the fans are not working and I think the sensors are fucked up since they don't respond to profile settings.
Cooper Hernandez

>Liquid metal >GPU Op is indeed a retarded faggot.
Warranty void stickers dont have any legal standing and if you press the matter they'll RMA it if the problem wasn't caused by you.
Austin Reed
Liquid Metal is a meme, in the long run this shit will fuck up your pc since it doesnt stay sit. Wow, cool, you got minus 10 degrees for 2 months and now you smell smoke, but what about that warranty void
Tyler Roberts
Why would you think the risk was worth the reward? You risked destroying all the components in your computer for a few fpps in games. You deserve the loss next time think before you do something. I think most RMA rejections are bullshit but gigabyte is right this time.
Oliver Moore
op did put a conductive liquid on the gpu die....
also it depends on the state/ country you're in every company has guidelines that they follow but their terms are loosely defined for a reason,
they label their warranties as "limited".. interpret that whatever way you want, i'm not saying they will or won't do this or that but it's pot luck
if you're poor why the fuck would you buy (or ask for) a $1200 graphics card (in lieu of something you need like cash to put in savings)? seriously neck yourself
not only that he tries to wash his hands of causing the short when he said himself his powersupply checked out fine
Juan Reyes
there is a metal thing with more metal thing attached to rocks +sand and held together by helical metal rods
Bentley Long
You cant, they will have lodged your serial number as a declined claim.
>replaces perfectly good paste.
Nathaniel Howard
why would you even do all that? what the fuck?
Jacob Long
4 % temperature difference
Isaiah Cruz
this if you're poor why did you mess with the hardware for some Cº less AT BEST? even I know you're not supposed to remove the heatsink
Eli Hernandez
>ill go get a navi/vega
Why would you downgrade?
Cooper Cook
OP don't listen to them, just feign ignorance and keep trying.
I warrantied an HTC One M8 that I had taken apart and butchered. I'm talking ribbon cables torn, speaker grills barely tacked on, usb port fried, etc.
I just didn't mention it, said it stopped working, and they sent me a new one after a couple weeks.
If they do have record of you turning it in and admitting it was your fault then you may be fucked, but try sending it in again. Don't mention the serial number and do the best you can to speak to a different CS rep this time.
Kevin Cruz

meanwhile in India, at Gigabyte's RMA department

Asher Gutierrez
That's more compelling than anything I've read in the past month.
Buy the same GPU from Amazon Swap your old one in Tell Amazon it's DOA Send your old one back to Amazon in the new one's box Get a refund ??? Working GPU
This. The best way to salvage this. Then you'll have two 1080s, and can either do SLI or resell the second 1080.
Luke Gomez
yeah this is the best solution, dont even resell one, just get the money back and call it a day
Robert Nelson
In the US as long as you don't do something to actively fuck it up, like op did, then you "violate" you warranty removing the sticker but it doesn't hold and you can actually take em to small claims court over it. If you harass them they normally take it though but op actively did something to break it so they won't take the rma.
Kevin Phillips
>with hands still a bit shitty after wiping his ass after shitting on a nearby unpaved main road he packages the GPU again and puts it in the outgoing mail bin
I don't trust myself, or the material itself. Always use non-conductive thermal paste.
Liam Butler
Buy the same one on Amazon and return the broken one.
Oliver Hall
buy it
Christian Reyes
I short circuit mine hard wiring it to a molex and got sent a new one from the store when they received it and I guess it didn't power on. Top kek. I was very happy >Waterforce 1080 Ti >$1500
Hunter Williams
Tourch it beyond recognition and tell them it fried!
Next time, don't fall for gamer and overclocker memes.
Adam Price
Oh and you cannot get around the warranty denial. The serial has been registered, and if you try to RMA the card again, you will be denied again. Had to to deal with people like you through work, the service centre has access to your items service history.
Camden Martinez
How would you scam bezos?
Asher Sullivan
>Trying to further cool gpu with jerryrig fuckup when brand is best gpu cooling on the market.
Neck yourself and don't make the same mistake in the next life.
Jordan Clark
Can confirm: burnt out a 1080Ti doing 'housefire' OC and they replaced it without any troubles.
Dylan Edwards
I bought a Aorus 1080Ti a while ago, I reparted it probably 4 months ago, if I ever had to RMA it what would happen? There were no warranty stickers on any of the screws or anything like that.
Liam Mitchell
Lol when I was taking the heat sink off I lost grip of my 1080 ti and flung it 5 feet. Landed board side down. I almost killed myself. Then I went through with liquid cooling it without checking if it even worked first. Luckily, it works.
Isaiah Myers
Repasted it*
Brody Parker
>liquid metal >GPU Why the fuck would anyone do this? Is this a meme from Linus Cuck tips?
>buys a 1080Ti >powers it through Molex adapters What the hell is wrong with you?
Ryder Walker
>be OP >be poorfag >decide to mine coin to get money >use debt to buy a 1080ti >decide to mod it for higher hash rates >card dies due to stupidity before making back the investment You fucked up. And anyway, the current RoI on a 1080Ti is something like 16 months.
Sebastian Jenkins
>Grass is clear >It's a goddamn picture of 'Laura Croft'

Mason Brown
>If someone could give me a legitimately helpful suggestion I have no qualms about sending them a decent amount of crypto. Here's an idea, don't be a fucking idiot and put liquid metal on a GPU.
Time to send me that crypto as I gave you a helpful suggestion
Owen Gomez
>I broke my card by doing something that violates warranty terms, how do I scam gigabyte to give me a new one? Srsly have some dignity.
Asher Wood
My gpu also popped recently but power supply seems to work fine. Will it toast another card i plug in?
Eli Cruz
>Will it toast another card i plug in? I hope so
Elijah Allen
Me too.
Ryder Wright
Lol stupid people gonna do stupid shit. Also >he fell for the liquid metal meme >on a gpu HAHAHHAHAHAAHHA *WHEEZE* haaaaaaa
Benjamin Lopez
pretty gud >Programming socks wiht integrated LEDS Top lol
Eli Turner
you used an expensive thermal glue/whatever meme shit that's conductive... on the stock cooler. congrats you're retarded.
Why the fuck would you replace the paste on an Nvidia Pascal GPU to begin with? It't not like it runs hot like AMD GPU's do.
James Harris
That's locktite paste, it's to prevent unscrewing.
Jacob Richardson
>10 degrees Haha you fucking wish, that crap is at best a couple degrees improvement, sometimes literately nothing. Conductive paste is a total meme.
Bentley Scott
As if EVGA actually checks that shit. When I RMAd my 980ti I got sent another one except as soon as I plugged it in my PC said it was a 970. Someone had swapped the shrouds.
