One data point but I have had issue with EVGA support, and their cards for years (I owned two before I swore to never buy another one). They had heatsink issues at one point and it was incredibly hard to get it fixed without me paying shipping and I would have been out a GPU for 4-8 weeks. I just fixed it myself and voided the warrenty.

Fixing it yourself did not void the warranty. It's against the law to void warranties just because someone else fixed it (unless they, aka you in this case, break it).
