Hi Guys,
I bought an Intel QX9650 from US through a friend of mine(i think he got it from BestBuy), since it wasnt available in India around 1-2 months ago. Asked him to get just the chip and not bring the box and sink since was not planning on using the sink anyways and i thought i wont need the warranty since in 10 years of my computer experience have never had a busted CPU. Unfortunately during one of my overclocking sessions, it went bust, now can some1 tell me how to get the warranty. I am completely screwed it seems, still if some1 has any experience of handling such issues, help wud be very much appreciated. This chip was almost my months salary and there are so many other expenditures that i eventually had to take a loan for it. I doubt sending it back to US would be a possibility since none of my friends reside there and none of them are planning to go again in the near future. I think Intel wud ask too many numbers which i dont have, or is the number on the chip itself sufficient to get warranty????? Basically its nothing more than a OEM chip at present so i am screwed
