Congrats on the 3080. You should see some good ppd from it.

YiP!

Finally had a reason to use my EVGA Bucks!
Yeah

Just got notified...I was letting it  sink in but I decided to complete the purchase.
I will be paying $450+ US or just shy of $700 cdn for a 3080 FTW3 Ultra gaming which normally cost's me $1500 cdn so...guess I am happy...lol
Been pulling the best working ROG 2060's out of the computers and selling them locally.
First one went for $600. Next one will be $650... probably.
Won't sell if something is wrong with it and I will do a RMA and retest before selling..
New 3080 on the way..woohoo!
Thanks EVGA!
 

Congrats! That's quite the savings! Is that mostly from referrals? 

I have one 3090 HC FTW3 on the wait list also going on over a year.

I believe much of it was folding bucks, a program that ran for years, but sadly no more. If I’m wrong Joe will pop in and chew me out.

Yer bang on Yodap..Thanks!

I haven't been contacted for any of the wait lists since 2020 and am sure it didn't help that they made us cancel all but two of them.
Congrats on making it...they should include the shirt with every order.

I agree...
Where is our shirts?
They tease us askin our size then NADA

I finally removed one of my two notifies for a 3080 FTW.  It was over 6 months away from my reservation date. I figured having one free for when they launch the 40x0 series will possibly get me on a  short list.  Congrats on your notify going live!

Thank You!
Good Luck to you

Well I am going on 11 months now for one  24G-P5-3989-KR 4/22/2021 6:19:41 PM PT.
But now I am not sure what I should do being that if the Water Block starts leaking it is not covered by warranty.

bcavnaugh's post just reminded me
I actually had a notify cancel on me for a KR model (discontinued and replaced by the KL/ LHR model) which, I think, had started a few months previous...
12.5 months is a long time..I bought 3 others elsewhere long before this materialized.

Is this what you are referring to?
Copied from the EVGA Warranty
Products that are exposed to liquid, liquid residue or excessive humid environments resulting in rust, moisture, dampness, stains, corrosion or liquid spills on components, hardware or electronics. Burns or component flare-ups as a result of a liquid accident or spill.
 
I believe this is referring to liquid "spills" or "accidents"
A leak, from a failure of the component, is not an accident of spill...it is a failure of the component period. You will have a problem trying to get restitution for replacement of everything else in the computer but you should have the leaky component and gpu replaced.
Warranty needs caveat to define that.
Visa would get my money back in a heartbeat if that happened to me..

I have No Glue at this time.
 
I just think it is taking someone longer to complete the given task. I stated the request on January 31. Going on 10 working days now.
The "block failed" and really the only way for EVGA to know this is to allow me to RMA it back to them.
Although my Motherboard is now stained Blue. So now I have lost the warranty for it.
Also what failed to stop working was my X299 Dark Motherboard, but after a day drying out it booted up just fine.
Is use only this Coolant.

"Hello,
Thank you for providing these pictures. I've asked our management team to review, as liquid damage is not usually covered under warranty. If the block failed, we may be able to assist with an RMA replacement. We'll reach out once we have an update for you from management.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
Regards,
EVGA"

Just so you know it is the Water Block that is Leaking, not my water loop.
Thank you,

You said if...
I didn't know you were in the middle of a realtime failed water block..
They better look after you!
I would like to give you all my support.
Please let us know how it goes.
You didn't do anything wrong and it sounds like they need to step up.
Which I expect them to do..

Thanks, I am hoping they well.

There is no way EVGA can't take care of this, Bcav. The block is their product, the card is their product. {Even though the block itself is made by another party}.I know you know your stuff about water cooling.  I believe they will take care of it for you. Can you tell what failed in the block? I cant quite make out the point of failure in your pics. Possibly the top cover "o-ring"? What a bummer.
