The replacement card we got after 3 months delay,
failed its fan after a couple of hours of usage.

Our reseller (Elicorp, Brussels) refuse to change

was exhausted (during which we could not use it
during 3 months), waiting for replacement.

Contacted RMA apologizes saying they could not help us
directly.

What's the point, make your mind and
next time choose other companies and products.
