Warranty and Overclocking

EVGA's motherboard and graphics card components are designed for and intended for
NOT VOID
enthusiasts. To be perfectly clear, overclocking will your warranty.
This means that you are free to do any type or level of overclocking you like, including
traditional means, such as by using the BIOS/UEFI (for motherboards); software
overclocking with EVGA utilities, such as PX1 or ELEET X1; or even third-party
software utilities. If the motherboard or card fails due to overclocking, you're covered.
Likewise, EVGA understands that enthusiasts are not always satisfied with the provided
NOT VOID
stock cooling options. Replacing heatsinks, fans, or thermal grease will
your warranty. Want to install a waterblock on your new motherboard or graphics card?
No problem. Planning on a long benching session with a DICE/LN2 pot? Good luck
on the benching, but your warranty will still be intact after you've set new world records.
Of course, there are some limitations to our warranties. If an EVGA motherboard or
graphics card sustains physical (i.e. damage to the PCB or component due to slippage
with a hand tool) or liquid damage, the warranty is void. Similarly, permanent changes to
components or the PCB will void your warranty, including the removal of pre-attached
components soldered to the board, or the addition of components that are not
removable without heat or solvents. In other words, you may use Precision X1 to raise
the voltage on your graphics card while overclocking, but you may not solder on another
power connector as an alternative.
If the product fails within the warranty period, you must return the product to its
original configuration. This means ALL original heatsinks and fans must be reattached
as they were when it was first shipped. Even if the product no longer works, it must be
returned to its original state before sending it in. If you no longer have the original
heatsinks you may be charged for the missing parts.
The EVGA warranty covers overclocking ONLY to EVGA products; EVGA is NOT
responsible for damage caused to components manufactured by other companies.
Before overclocking your system, check with the manufacturer of your other
components to ensure that you will not void the warranty on those parts due to
overclocking. Due to the uniqueness of every system, EVGA Customer Support cannot
assist you with overclocking. For overclocking assistance, please visit our Community
