Wanted to mention this bit of info which I had already mentioned in the DFI launch thread earlier, in this thread as well :
Mr. Vinod said the DFI boards would come with a 2 yr warranty , but apparently from his chat with DFI reps they mentioned board return rates are very low - in other words, the DFI boards will last you long (what happened to crazy OC'ers frying their boards, SDS, etc?). Asked him about how the warranty works - he says the boards are INSTANTLY swapped ! The boards that are dead are usually stock-piled and later once the stock-pile grows into a sizeable amount, or after a particular interval of say 3 months or so - they are RMA'ed back to DFI (RMA'ing in bulk works out cheaper for shipping).
Also asked him about support for us guys who bought the board from the US - he said he would have to 'export' the board back to DFI and the same board with the same serial number has to return. Apparently this is not economically viable and costs as much as 25% of the value of the board ! This is all cause DFI doesnt have a service centre in India as yet (he says years before it happens). I'm guessing if your board fails around the same time a lot from their local warranty RMA shipment happens , then your expense might be a bit lower.
