http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438053 Product title says 7 years. Specifications list 3 years parts and 2 years labor. EVGA page says 7 years. I know I should assume 7 years and treat the specs page as a Newegg misprint. However, I've been burned by EVGA on this before. Purchased an EVGA mobo listed as limited lifetime warranty upon registration. Listing and box both stated this. I registered less than 1 week after purchase, at which point, it said "2 year warranty" in my support page. Called EVGA on this and they refused to honor the warranty on the product packaging. So, I generally don't buy EVGA products outside of their GPUs. I'm considering giving them another shot and wanted to see what other opinions on their PSU warranties happen to be. And yes, I'm aware that the best PSU warranty is the one that you don't have to use, but, it's good to have for peace of mind.

If they advertised 7 years, that mean warranty is 7 years. You only need to install PSU and to register on EVGA site. You will get 7 years warranty and no reason to look only their graphic cards because EVGA is now strong and in PSU section absolutely same. It would be smart to send mail to seller on Newegg and to remind him on that. Everyone who want to buy new best world power supply think and about EVGA SuperNOVA Gold/Platinum/Titanium.

When I bought my EVGA motherboard, the warranty was advertised as limited lifetime. The box said the same. I promptly registered and was given a 2-year warranty. I don't trust EVGA's advertising on their non-GPU parts. I'm looking for testimonials from people who have at a minimum purchased and registered this product or similar, and even better, RMA experiences from anyone (I doubt many have had to RMA this yet, as it's relatively new).

Thanks. That's what I'm looking for. Yes, I did upload my invoice (always do when registering products, when the option is available). In my interaction with EVGA over this, they were clear that they weren't going to honor the advertised warranty.

If I understand customers can upload invoice only before RMA, and that's not necessary. I have invoice for my 1200 P2 but I didn't upload still. I have no scanner I can do that any time, I keep papers on safe. If you look sites of other manufacturers you will see much bigger number of failed PSU than Super Flower and EVGA.

I want EVGA bucks if someone don't need... Is it possible someone to pay backplates, or similar things for EVGA bucks?
