If it’s a board failure @ 14 months then it’s one of 2 scenarios:

1. liquid/physical damage
2. it has an Nvidia chipset with an AMD processor

Na, but seriously. If you call them, they WILL send you a replacement board if you bitch… I’ve done it for customers.

I still say paying an additional ~17% for a warranty with many exclusions is horseshit.
