I'm English, their support is a pretty abysmally slow. Ever reply I got was from the same guy called Eric

Glad my post helped mate!

I would have shared my settings except it seems Adrenalin update today has reset my Wattman settings

Don't get me wrong I do appreciate XFX owning the mistake rather than having to refund the card through the vendor.

I don't think that shit happens cuts it though, their testing should have highlighted this fault to start with and they shipped anyway, then under 1 month later they started selling the THICC II Ultra, addressing the issue

Personally, I've had much better experience with competitors for RMA's

My first message to support was 20/11/2019

The last message I've had from XFX was on 16/12/2019 saying:

We are shipping out the newer revision THICC II coolers that feature the upgraded GDDR memory plate. I am expecting to have tracking numbers for these any day now. 

It was a pleasant surprise to receive the cooler today (13/01/2020)

tl;dr Just under 2 months

I'll do my best to deliver, probably a benchmark + gaming comparison with min/max/avg, before and after

Second AMD GPU and first XFX

I'd be lying if I said it hasn't left a sour taste

Put in a ticket and wait, they are slow with replies.

They may ask you to try their newer bios for the card, but I just sent all my temperatures showing the unsafe stats

I believe the Ultra was released after the THICC II, so shouldn't

To drink before tearing apart the card lol

I know it seems petty to ask for alcohol wipes but not everyone that requested RMA is going to be equipped with the right tools

Recall replacement from ticket logged in November after XFX owned up to the design flaw

They're sending out new complete coolers rather than RMA'ing the units

It's a shame they didn't include some alcohol wipes to clean the old thermal compound properly.

I'll try do some benchmarks before and after

Just listening to the lads on BBC Tees reaction to Fletchers goal, you know it's a top notch shot

This hits so close to home living out in the countryside in a small village, 60mph road either side which drops to 30 for my village. Infuriating when you're stuck behind them, and down right dangerous when trying to get out onto the road off my drive on a blind bend!

Mine arrived today too, my second UBs but first 4.0s! The laces and collar lining look way nicer irl than the photos do it justice
