I killed my GF3 yesterday... thought I killed my processor until I tried it a little bit ago... WHY ME!!! Wanna know how? Easy... didn't put the clamp on the hose ON the fitting... it was just barely sittin off of the fitting... and well... there was water... yes there was water... and screams and what not... but the processor lived... and the Gainward... well... he's been RMA'd:D But I did get a 4 meg S3 virge for $5 :p
Thats $hitty luck RainMaQer..... hope you can get it RMA'd

Hello Gainward RMA dept may I help you?
RainMaQer: Yes I have a problem with my card, I just _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to my card
Oh Yes Mr. RainMaQer, we love overclockers that do that to our cards, of course its warrantied
:eek:
Seriously bro sorry to hear about your loss, that card you have as your backup blows away my backup video card. I have a Trident 1MB 'Union' card, but its upgradable to 2MB :)

Usually lots of RMA manufactures just make them send you their product with a reason and the RMA number written on all sides of the box and they'll test it and either phone you back or update on the website.
