Gigabyte warranty on GPUs - They will replace any faulty GPU up to 3 years old with a valid receipt/proof of purchase.

So for this reason I keep on hoping someone somewhere might be able to help me out…

Worth the wait I think!

Cheers

I would personally recommend installing logmein on all of your rigs (if they are all Win based - not supported on Linux), this then allows you to remote control them from any PC with a web browser.

Logmein free allows you to have up to 10 PCs installed for remote control. The benefit of using logmein is that you have pretty much full access to the desktop as if you were sat in front of it so you can change miner configs with ease and not just monitor the mining.

Remote control via logmein also strangely seems to give me a better PC response and interaction than I get when I am trying to do things on my rig which is running at full steam and normally responds really slowly when I am sat in front of it. Its a win/win setup for me and have the added bonus that as long as the logmein service is still running OK and the PC is hooked up to i-net you can even get away without having a monitor attached!

Just my 2pence on the subject hope it is useful, obviously miner monitor progs are also useful but dont have the flexibility of logmein and teamviewer has a 5 mins connection limit and VNC runs like a bag of nails IMO. :D

If you want any advice on setting up logmein let me know…

Please spare a few mins to consider my predicament!

I have a GV-R795WF3-3GD, it has been mining coins merrily for over a year but just the other day it literally blew up on me, and what can only be described as a flash of lightning came out of the vents on my PC. I dont know what has gone wrong with it but it is well and truly fried.

Now I have contacted Gigabyte to discuss the RMA procedure and they would only repair if it were feasible to do so (which it clearly isnt in this case), in order to replace they require a copy of my original receipt/invoice from when I bought it. As you might guess I have lost this and so I am stuck with a card that they would replace but wont on the technicality that I dont have my original invoice.

So… I am just wondering if anyone on this forum owns one of these and happens to still have their invoice? I would just like a copy of it send to their RMA dept so that they will authorise a replacement, and dont go thinking that by giving a copy of your invoice somehow would invalidate your 7950 warranty as it wouldnt - the invoice I have found for another card (a sapphire) makes no mention of serial numbers so your invoice is still valid for your purchase.

Alternatively, perhaps you have bought one (or more) of these cards and you have had to return it for some reason anyway, so you would already have a valid receipt that has been used for a return! If you are happy to let me make a copy of it just to give to GigaB to get the nod to authorise a replacement for my fire hazard of a 7950 then you would be doing me a massive favour and I’ll make it worth your while!

If you can help me I’ll donate FTC and prolly a small amount of LTC too…

Hope someone can help me! :-\

THANKS!

Hello from Bristol! ;D
