I registered my EVGA card AFTER 30 days :(

[Throckmorton]

I was lying in bed this morning, and my EVGA 8800GT's box happened to be behind my head, so I started reading it... And it turned out I was supposed to register it within 30 days of purchase to get the lifetime warranty! I ordered it on 4/3/2008. DOH!! I just registered it, but the "My Products" page doesn't say anything about 1 year. It says 33 days left for step-up so obviously it recognizes the date. How do you know if it really is only 1 year?

I'm pretty sure you have 90 days to register the card to receive the lifetime warranty

All EVGA Products purchased ON or AFTER November 1, 2006 MUST be registered within 30 days from ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE to receive limited lifetime warranty. (All products not registered within 30 days will ONLY receive a 1 year limited warranty.)

I also forgot to register my EVGA 8800GT within the first 30 days but contacted EVGA and they said they would still cover it under their lifetime warranty.

I would send them an email or open a support ticket to them. Hopefully, you'll get the same response and be able to use it if you ever need to warranty it.

Thanks for the tip. I was wondering about that, because I hear their support is really good. Who did you email? If there is an address for questions, I'll look for it on the site.

I believe I went to their customer support page and sent an email thru a form.
