💬 Community Feedback & Caveats
Warranty Reliability Issues:
Some users report ASUS support centers in India denying claims citing "oxidation" or component damage, even when untrue:
“Service centre … sent the card back … broken … caused by oxidation and not covered by the warranty.” Reddit+2Reddit+2RedditReddit+3Reddit+3Reddit+3
Another user had warranty claim rejected despite valid invoice due to alleged oxidation, and was offered only fan replacement:

Invoice Authenticity Matters:

🛠️ Buying Tips for India
Purchase from authorized ASUS retailers—keep the invoice safe.
Register your product on the ASUS support site and verify warranty status promptly.
If the ASUS portal shows incorrect warranty dates, email ASUS India (e.g. CC_India@asus.com) with invoice, and if unresolved, consider filing a consumer grievance—they often respond and correct records subsequently Ezpz Solutions+2Starcomp+2sclgaming.in+5ASUS Global+5MD Computers+5tpstech.inReddit+1.
Avoid modifying or opening the card, as even harmless actions may void warranty.
If warranty is denied under vague reasons (e.g. oxidation), consider device repair yourself—or escalate via legal channels if necessary.
