actually... yes. I was under the belief that if the engine failed and you were in the warranty period then you could send it back.Quote:

well, if no physical damages in the chip, Intel must RMA it anyway.
That's excactly the point.... none seen -> none heard -> no body -> no murder!Quote:

Of course, its the new mommy and daddy syndrome. Manufacturers pay for your stupidity because they owe it to you? Well the The president can offload his accountability on us for voting him in as well. God knows we unload social accountability on the govt.Quote:

But thats just me. My x2 3600 was hot before i ever thought of overclocking; random shut downs and high temps regardless of bios updates etc. RMA'd it . It wasnt my bad. Hd I damaged it from oc, i would have bit it.
So i am a looser? a pussified overclocker for my honesty? I dont think so. I feel like there is no other way to be. I cant do the lie thing.The fact is they allow the RMA its taken into the consideration of pricing the unit. The vast amount of users not overclocking pay for the mistake more than the enthusiast.
Honestly it works out for the free hype that comes from enthusiasts, so its an accepted practice. And its rather funny that newbs help pay for enthusiast chips. We advertise freely may as well profit from it.
1 pin broke and you didn't bother to try fix it?:eek:Quote:

I don't actually know what it's called, when I break something I always try to get a new one on guarantee before I throw it away. Like vacuum cleaner you just KNOW will go busted in only a month or so, and it's only 3-4 months left of guarantee... Of course I just stick a sock in it and let it burn! Damnit, corporations making asian kids build these vacuum cleaners can afford giving me a new one!Quote:

Also broke a pin on a cpu, just one of those things you can't hide :rolleyes:Quote:

what i have gathered from this thread so far:
1. freakBYnature is a con man
2. we have quite a few of cons
3. people are getting upset because intel might have technology that tells them if they ran their processor OUT OF SPEC, thus causing damage wanting a new one.
4. some of you guys need to grow up and back your responses instead of this is just BS and this is stupid. I am fine and happy they have this, killed a few processors but didnt rma them because I knew i stressed the chip out of its specified limits.
5. freakBYnature although this is XS not PussifiedSystems, we shoot for integrity and man up when we do something incorrectly, and not try and scam a company.
LOL, gotta laugh about this... I don't use Intel at all, so when Intel finds out I'm RMA'ing the chip I don't have and DON'T give me a new one, I won't get surprised :D LOL
Conman? What about your president Bush? Fking biggest con there is! ;)
Also broke a pin on a cpu, just one of those things you can't hide
sounds pretty con to me, the fact that only because it was a physical defect is why you didnt rma it
I don't have integrity about RMA'ing broken things that still "should" work. But as I understand you all get so upset about it I will stop writing in this particiular thread.. hehe... I thought it was rather funny though :D
