Epox RMA experience

[waclawib]

Hello,
I have a 8RDA+ with bad caps and Epox offered a RMA.
Question, what will I get back from them? Do they give me a new board or do they actually replace the caps? If they replace caps, will they give me good ones or the same crappy ones?

I would like to hear from people who went through the RMA recently.

Thanks a lot,

You won't get your same board back. If their RMA is anything like Abit or MSI, it will come back with the same shoddy brands.

If they give replacement boards with the poor quality capacitors, don't buy from them!

i guess you are the official guinea pig.
please report back when (if) you get the board back.

Gigabytes come back reworked with Rubicons.

Guess it depends upon the integrity of the manufacturer.

Well, here is update.
The board I received was not the same as I sent in. Caps replaced with SANYO and TEAPOS. So far board is working good. The board I got back was not a new 8RDA+ but used one.

BTW, I posted an ad for caps for sale but it got deleted? Any ideas? I have a set of caps for 8RDA+ that I can sell pretty cheap to someone who cannot do the RMA thing. To tell you the truth, if I were to do it again, I would try to recap since at least I would have done the job right with ALL quality caps. I may redo the TEAPOS actually.
