Warranty and water cooling

[Jacob.xray]

was just wondering who offer a warranty that isnt voided when you water cool 7970s

No one does............ Just try and get one where the waranty sticker isnt over one of the screws and you should be fine. Unless you have a leak over the card, just dont tell the retailer you watercooled it if the card dies of natural causes.

Also maybe run it for a month of so before taking off the stock cooler so you know it's perfectly fine before taking the cooler off.
Obviously this doesn't help entirely if something legitimately goes wrong after you make the swap, but it should give you a little security that you aren't voiding the warranty on an already broken card.

I know some manufacturers in the US however honour the warranty for taking the cooler off, they don't in the UK I know, but I can't comment for Australia.

Well, if he buys that graphic card with a pre-installed waterblocked is very much likely to have warranty on it. But I dont know if you have that available for AMD cards, like EVGA does with the Nvidia ones, where you allways have a Watercooled version of the top end cards.

The only manu who doesnt void warranty for watercooled GPU's is EVGA.
That said,it would take a sharp man in the RMA shed to tell otherwise if you are careful.

Overclockers sell 7970's with your choice of gpu block fitted and they cover the warranty.
