Of course that is absolutely within your consumer rights. As is doing some research if your fears are justified or not. Checking the serial number is easy and fast and could put your mind at ease ;)
 
Because besides this faulty VRM batch, the cards ARE high quality and ARE super fast.

I had a bad experience with XFX once and I don't want it to happen again so i'm considering this as prevention better than cure.
 
I will check the serial number later tonight when i'm back home just to make sure.

You do realize that a faulty card can happen with every brand and every generation, right? Do not cave in just because you can't make sense out of other peoples chatter.

Well, you are right but when you see different posts pointing to the same direction/conclusion it's best to be prepared in my experience.
 
 

Preparation means checking the serial number and deciding if there is a risk you want or do not want to take. You are jumping the conclusion before you have all the facts at hand, mate ;)

I'll check the serials first and let you know :)

19 september for me so I'm fine ?

I am in no position to claim you are fine but according to EVGA every card shipped after 8/30 is not affected by this, yah.

Ok. where did you see that evga claims that ? Thanks ;)
