Question 1

If I buy this online from UAE but live in Riyadh, does the warranty cover me locally in KSA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our warranty is valid GCC-wide. You can service the card at our authorized centers in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam without shipping it back to Dubai, provided you retain the original purchase invoice.

Question 2

I'm really scared about the 16-pin connector melting stories. Is the included adapter actually safe to use?

Accepted Answer

This model uses the revised 12V-2x6 header specifications which offer tighter latching and improved safety over the original design. As long as you ensure the connector is fully seated with no gap before closing your case, it is covered fully under warranty.

Question 3

My gaming room gets around 28-30°C in the summer. Will this card throttle or sound like a jet engine?

Accepted Answer

The Shadow 3X cooling system is designed to handle high ambient temperatures typical of the Gulf region. While fans may spin up to 60-70% in 30°C heat to maintain boost clocks, thermal throttling typically only occurs if the card hits 84°C+ core temp, which is unlikely with good case airflow.

Question 4

Do I need to buy a new ATX 3.0 power supply for this, or can I use my old 850W PSU with the adapter?

Accepted Answer

You can use your existing 850W PSU if it's from a reputable brand (Gold rated or higher recommended) using the included adapter cable. However, for the cleanest cable management and stability, a native ATX 3.0 PSU is recommended but not strictly required.

Question 5

What is your policy on coil whine? If it buzzes too loudly can I exchange it?

Accepted Answer

Some electrical buzz is normal for high-power GPUs under load, but excessive noise is treated as a defect. If the noise is audible over your case fans from a standard seating distance, bring it in for assessment and potential replacement within 7 days.

Question 6

It's a heavy card. Does it come with a sag bracket or do I need to buy one separately to save my motherboard?

Accepted Answer

At over 1kg, we highly recommend using a support bracket. While some batches include a basic support stick, we advise checking the 'In the Box' section upon arrival; if missing, we sell inexpensive universal GPU braces that prevent PCIe slot damage.

Question 7

I'm not comfortable installing this myself. If I bring my PC to your showroom, will you fit it for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer installation services. If you bring your tower to our Dubai or Abu Dhabi locations, our technicians can install the GPU, manage the cabling safely, and stress-test it for a nominal service fee.
