Well i've one E8400 C0 under my nose which is dead as stone. No receipt since was bought as used, friend used in his gaming rig, it went silent gave it to me. Tried with couple working mobos and no post. IHS is still there, no damages which could be saw with eye.

Basicly these has 3yrs warranty and well wolfdales aren't even 2yrs old, with common sense this should be RMAble, right?
