Apogee GTX = Fail

[IanY]

I like my GTX, and its still in use by my son.

The warranty requirements are clear. Hydrx. Not PT Nuke. Not Pentosin. Not straight water. Not Primochill. Not Fluid XP. Not Vingear. Not anything else apart from Swiftech Hydrx.

If you wanted to use water and PT Nuke, you should never have bought the GTX, period. End of story. Buyer beware. Caveat emptor.

Gabe trumpeting his military spec plating or whatever DOES NOT absolve you from your own negligence of ignoring the perils of corrosion, and certainly is no excuse for not using Hydrx, knowing darn well that you would need your warranty honored in an RMA process.

In a court of law, you have zero recourse. Yes, even class action suit. IT IS in the product literature that comes with every single block. Yes, I have consulted a product attorney.

Same fashion. Warranty for GTZ and GT are upheld only with the use of Hydrx.

No, I disagree with the policy. However, you cannot say that its not clearly spelt out. No use of Hydrx = no warranty = no RMA.

I myself use only straight water. I switched out the aluminum top for a copper top on the day the copper top was made available, and used straight water from then on at my own risk. Yes, I had diluted Hydrx when the aluminum top was in place.

I don't like the warranty policy, but it is what it is. Don't like it, then DON'T BUY Swiftech.

No bleeping bltching. No moaning. No crying.

Sorry to be so harsh, but I felt the need to inject some reality into this discussion.
