evga supports aftermarket cooling?

[Sniper82]

I am thinking about pulling the trigger on a 7600GT for $170 shipped with $30 mail in rebate. I heard Evga supports aftermarket cooling on their card? Like if I use a Zalman cooler on it they will still RMA it as long as I put stock cooling back on?

For our retail Graphics Card and Mainboard products purchased on or after June 22, 2005, EVGA will provide a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser of each retail product that the product will not suffer, in material or workmanship, from any defect that adversely affects the performance of the product. This lifetime warranty is valid for the life of the retail product, so long as the original purchaser owns the product, based upon the following conditions:

* Lifetime Warranty is for all retail Graphics Card and Mainboard products ending in the part numbers AR, AX, BR*, BX*, DR, DX, FR, FX, SG, SL, or S2.
* [Replacement products are shipped out as ?BR or ?BX and will carry the same lifetime warranty that your original purchase had based on your registration.]
* There is no physical damage to the PCB, GPU/chipset, or components.

We will repair or replace the defective parts free of charge (no refunds). All you pay is the shipping charge to return the product to EVGA.

so, if you chip your gpu putting on that cooler, evga won't help you. arguably burning the gpu up from overclocking IS physical damage, but it's probably impossible to tell between that and anything else.
