i read everywhere else it's 5 years manufacturer warranty but here in JP i only have 1 year distributor warranty from the GPU, why is that?

it depends on th reseller/distributor.

perhaps you need to register it at zotac company before you get your full 5 years.


most resellers for silverstone psu in my country the philippines offer only 1 year warranty (in store) for this psu but will tell you that the distributor will honor up to three years if you send the defective psu to them.

Have you registered it? I know it's 5 in the UK, but I think it's only 3 in the US, so it can vary.

Zotac cards in the US have a 1 year warranty from date of purchase. However, if you register your card on Zotac's website[www.zotac.com] within 30 days of the date your purchased it, you get an extended warranty for 2 extra years.

So, registering a product after purchase (in the US) gives a 3 year warranty.

For Japan, it appears only a 12 month coverage is allowed from date of coverage. You can read the Zotac warranty info for Japan here[www.zotac.com].

My personal opinion, a 3-5 year warranty is a good range. Most people will have upgraded their GPU within that time frame. I'm coming up (or may have just passed) the 3 year warranty period on one of my Zotac 980 Ti cards. The second one I have still has about 6 months. I have good luck with past cards from multiple companies. For example - the now defunct BFG Technologies - I still have two cards (GTX 280 and GTX 285) that are fully functional. I also have a Zotac GTX 570 that has seen a solid 7+ years of use that is still working.

Hopefully, if you take care of your GPU - keep it clean and don't use it for mining - and from just normal use it should last you a long time.

If it's crap then it usually fails fairly soon anyway, if it lasts a year then it's very good chance it keeps going and going.
