Zotac Denies RTX 5070 Ti Repair, Offers Disposal
Zotac has reportedly denied an RMA request for an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, citing "irreversible" PCB damage. The customer claims the issue stemmed from fan wear-and-tear.
Interestingly, after denying the repair, Zotac offered to dispose of the GPU free of charge, stating they had "limited tools" for such repairs. This raises questions about the repairability of high-end graphics cards and the support provided by manufacturers. While the exact nature of the PCB damage remains unclear, the situation highlights potential concerns regarding the longevity and repair options for expensive hardware.
