What would you do?

[sh4rk]

I just received a broken powercolor 9800Pro (faulty ram) from OcUK that i am obviously going to rma. Assuming that they give me a refund, what would you buy?

Sapphire 9800Pro from komplett (obviously have to wait a month)
Hercules 9800SE
Leadtek 5900

Thx for all advice. I am at a loss as what to do.

Doub't they would give a refund. You will probably get another Powercolor card back.

[unrealrocks]

Yeah - unless your really unlucky and OCUK'll totally ignore you!

[sh4rk]

Damn, i really don't want a powercolor one back. They amount of fan failures i have heard about....

[Howard]

If you do just replace the fan with something better

[sh4rk]

But then that would invalidate warrenty. Unless, if i had to send it back, i put the old heatsink back on with the same thermal paste...

[Stubzz]

If you have literally just recieved it, cant you get a full refund under the distance selling act? assuming you dont open the replacement one or anything? i dont see them offering you a refund in any case, although it never hurts to ask.

Yeah, you can either have a refund or a exchange - but that does depend on the age of the goods.

Faulty items happen, Give them a ring and im sure they will sort it out

[sh4rk]

Well, anyway, assuming that i do get a refund, i am still stuck with what to buy. I am not going to keep my Rad 7200, that's one thing, lol.

Edit: btw i got the card about 3 days ago. So i guess the refund is possible.

[Agent]

Do you want a refund though, or just an exchange, because the chances are they will offer you an exchange first

[sh4rk]

Probably an exchange. unless I decide to buy the 9800 Pro from komplett.
