MSI to Launch New Custom Version of GTX 1080 Ti - The Gaming X Trio
While we're still waiting to see AMD's Vega graphics cards undergo a proper custom treatment from the company's AIB partners (MSI included), Micro-Star International has announced at the Tokyo Game Show that they'll be launching yet another version of NVIDIA's GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. This new design revision picks up the triple fan design that has been the staple of MSI's Lightning series of graphics cards, and applies it to the Gaming X brand. The MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio will thus feature 3x of the company's Torx 2.0 fans. The card features a 2.5-slot design that exhausts the hot air to the inside of your case (a minor inconvenience, since MSI's graphics cooling designs are generally considered some of the best out there), and features MSI's Mystic Light RGB tech.
The Gaming X Trio maintains the 1080 Ti Gaming X's 2x 8-pin PCIe connectors, and features factory overclocking to 1569 MHz (base), 1683 MHz (boost) and 11124 MHz (memory). Display connectors stand at 2x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort and 1x DVI. The new Gaming X Trio is expectd to go on sale starting on October 12th, and should carry a price tag that's slightly higher than MSI's 1080 Ti Gaming X graphics card.

German law, which should be similar to general EU law states this:
There can be a guarantee by the manufacturer for its products, but it's purely a customer service thing and out of their free Will.
What is there is a two-year "warranty" (can't Google the exact words for German "Garantie" and "Gewährleistung" right now) which a customer has against the place he bought his items from. The first six months it is assumed by law, that the item was faulty from the beginning and the seller has to prove otherwise. BUT after those six months, the customer has to prove, that the fault was there from the beginning. If there is no guarantee by the manufacturer and you can't prove, that the fault in the product was there to begin with, you're out of luck.
