I won't say I'm surprised. Intel receives alot of CPUs from people that think they are "leet overclockers". Then they burn up their chip because they don't know what they're doing and then RMA it claiming a faulty CPU. It's difficult to identify what CPUs were overclocked/overvolted and which ones weren't unless there is physical damage.
Frankly, I'd prefer the CPU having some feature that records the highest clock/voltage the CPU has ever been exposed to and Intel looking at that before replacing a CPU. If you overclocked the
out of it, your warranty will not be honored. Instead they're going to limit the speed for everyone. No fun!
