Realistically, most people won’t get the FE model, so let’s see which brand is worth picking up. ASUS uses phase change thermal pads but has poor customer service and reported coil whine. GIGABYTE provides a four-year warranty, though its CS and fan longevity are questionable. MSI doesn’t stand out either way, but the Gaming Trio design looks good. PNY exists. ZOTAC ditched the surfboard look, which might be a relief. Which model are you considering, and how have your RMA experiences been? Any brands you’ve sworn off after a customer service incident?
