If a mobo failure takes the CPU with it, will Intel honour their RMA? (retail boxed CPU, still in warranty period)

 

Thanks!

In general, Kenny, I'd say so as they can't prove the motherboard failure took the CPU with it. However, if it did cause an issue, send the motherboard manufacturer a message detailing the story. They may be more inclined to help you.

Yes, however if they dont message your motherboard manafacturer as they will most likely get you a replacement.

Thankyou for the replies

 

Because it's a daily runner that's failed, I was hoping to not....blur the edges of the situation... to get RMA

 

I can just tell the whole truth. Great

Still busy killing hardware, Kenny? I thought you are retired from this

As long as the cpu has no physical damage I see no reason why rma should not work

Was on a break, been toying with hardware the last week or so, remembering a few things.

 

One thing I have remembered (entirely separate to this CPU,) is how many dead GPUs I have

 

 

Not ready for LN2 yet, still months away.

It would be nice to see you return, Kenny.

Thankyou There are still some projects i'd like to see completed... maybe one day/month/year

I knew you'd be back.

Breaks are a good thing.

I'll just accept the fact that all my Nvidia 3D subs will soon have less points.

 

Nice to see you around Kenny!

My "return" is nothing to do with my HWB break from the end of last year That was a personal fail Vs a fail in my interest in benching. I've very nearly had a two year break.

 

Also... the "success" of my "return" depends on what I can score Vs everything that has an e-Power/A-Power attached.

 

Maybe no-one will notice when I start benching again, though I do have a few to submit from some air & water fun I've had over the last couple weeks.

 

One thing at a time though, I should get this RMA sorted

Back to the RMA: Intel ask extra questions if the PSU isn't latest-gen

I'd say you just invent some bs. They're not going to come to your place and check it, are they ?

I have a taste for expensive luxuries. A clear conscience being one of the most extravagant :D
