Hello everyone, I was trying to reach out to Amazon for my warranty at Free Refactions. They advised me to contact MSI for assistance. After speaking with MSI, they only mentioned that they don’t ship replacement parts, even though it’s noted on the Amazon MSI support page. I need some alternatives for fans for my RX 6700XT model (it started slowing down after a month) and some screws. I’ve already received them from MSI UK, but it seems the package never arrived. I’m considering shipping to the US instead of South America since that’s where I live. Thanks for your time, and have a great day! Photo by: Evening_Ad_803

Don't rely on the manufacturer's exact measurements. Determine the appropriate size and purchase locally. Alternatively, gather a variety of sizes and select the ones that fit properly.

I checked for that choice, but it seems hard to locate it in both the US and my country.

I don't recognize MSI UK Mods or their organization. A quick search didn't reveal any details about their website, materials list, or product packaging. You might need to check their official store link or contact them directly for more information.

The RMA and Warranty support for MSI isn’t very helpful right now. Since you disassembled the GPU yourself, your warranty is likely voided, which means they won’t assist you. You shouldn’t just call them for parts; they need the complete card to fix it properly. Because you took it apart and asked for specific internal components, you probably voided your warranty. It’s frustrating, but that’s the usual process. Regarding those particular screws—you mentioned they’re needed because the fans are spinning slowly. You shouldn’t need to purchase new screws just for that purpose. Why do you require these exact parts? You should have reviewed their warranty policy more before deciding to open the card yourself.

Before I accessed the GPU interface, it appeared slightly warped. After opening, I noticed two standoffs and screws were damaged—see the photo (the picture is from another Reddit user, I’ll mention him later).

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that. He provided me with the standoffs and sent the confirmation to my email.

In that scenario, it would need to be handled through a return or replacement process. They probably won’t because they can’t confirm you didn’t damage it yourself when you opened it. This issue might have been prevented if you hadn’t attempted a DIY fix and instead followed the warranty guidelines. You could purchase a replacement part model from eBay and try to repair it, or swap the cooler with an aftermarket version. Apart from that? Your options seem limited. Have you ever disassembled GPUs before? Do you have any background knowledge about them?

Absolutely, I've seen this before three times without any issues. Just the info you need.
