I have an ASUS Strix 2080 Ti O11G which I'm planning on exchanging for the 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra specifically for EVGAs flexibility with opening and water cooling their cards (which I thought EVGA was okay with) but my local store associate told me all of the 2080 Ti manufacturers didn't want you opening their cards and thus voiding warranty? Would someone be about to confirm whether or not EVGA is okay or not with disassembling their cards?
 
Thank you

EVGA is ok with you watercooling your card as long as you don't damage the card in the process. You'll also need to put the stock cooler back onto the card if you ever need to rma it.

Awesome great to hear! Thank you and I'll proceed with the exchange.

If you might keep the card past the Original 3 yr warranty check out the Optional 5yr or 10 yr warranty EVGA Extended Warranty
 
EVGA cards $500 & up are only $30 & $60 for the 5yr & 10 yr extended warranty  
Read the Terms as you Must register the Card in a certain time frame to buy the extended warranty
 

We are quite flexible with our warranty coverage on cards. Absolutely, you can water-cool your card with us and it will not void your warranty. As a friendly reminder, be sure to keep all associated parts for your original factory cooler, such as thermal pads, screws, and the heat-sink fan. In the event you need to exercise your warranty on your card, you will need to have the card reverted back to the original factory condition. Good luck in your water-cooling setup!

Hiya, sorry to dig up a old thread, ive just bought a ftw3 3090 ultra and wondered if this warranty is still the same with these cards as really want to water cool it..
Thanks

Yes.

Thanks for confirming those points guys. I'm glad I bought an EVGA card!

Sorry to bring this up again if you didn't have the original thermal pads on the original block would that void the warranty
