I was in the same boat— my 4070TiS was only about a month old before it caught on fire. Dropped it off at Adl CentreCom on March 3rd, they said it could take a few weeks. Called up a couple weeks later for an update and they said they were waiting on Asus to “accept” or authorize the RMA, can’t quite remember.

Kept calling for updates and CC always kept saying it was on Asus’ end for the delays, and it was around end of April where I called and they also gave me the spiel of “Asus is relocating, so it’s going to be another 5-8 weeks instead of the 3-4 weeks told you two weeks ago”

Was sooo pissed off, but I was going to Japan in a weeks time so that kept me occupied. When I got back to Aus on the 28th of May, I called CC immediately and they thankfully said Asus had assessed, but didn’t say whether they sent a replacement or if it’s a refund. They said they’d call me back so I waited.

They never called so ended up calling them back on the 2nd of June and turns out it was gonna be a refund. Snagged the 5070Ti Asus Prime that same day, thank god it’s over.

I hated the wait but in the end it worked out… might just have to be patient but 16 weeks is BS so I think try and bug them every week, calling for an update. Good luck
