So I'm building a new rig, got it all figured out.

Alphacool NexXxos Cool Answer 240

Intel i5 3570K

ASRock Z77 Pro4

Evga GeForce GTX660 TI

G.SKILL RipJaws 8GB PC3-12800

Coarsair 660T White

Corsair CMPSU-750TX

Intel 335 180GB

WD Black 1TB


My dilemma is on eBay rightnow I can get a GTX670 with a waterblock already installed, only thign is there is no warrenty. I plan on adding my GPU to my loop eventually anyways so do you guys think its worth the extra savings without a warrenty? Or will adding a block to my GPU void my warrenty anyways?
 


not sure how there isnt a warranty? what brand is it. i know nvidia has transferable warranty, as long as you have the stock fan and heatsink installed with the shell they will honor the warranty

Hmm so If I have the stock fan and cooler the warranty will be honored? I didnt know that I was thinking since it has been changed from the way it came form the factory all warranty would be void. I just took a look again, not to sure if it comes with the stock fan and cooler, guess ill have to ask the seller. But warranty will for sure be honored with the stock configuration?

Seller told me it comes with all the stock cooling and the waterblock. Im really tempted to go for it. you guys are sure if the stock coolign is put back on if something breaks warranty will be honored as lock as the defect falls uner the warranty?

eBay has buyer protection for like 5 days or something if the seller doesn't have a return policy. I used it when I got a broken GeForce 6800 GT instead of working like the guy said.
 


it all depends on the brand. what brand is it? most companys will honor their warranty as long as water didnt leak on the board or it over heated etc, you just need to reinstall the stock cooling when rmaing it.
