Uh huh. Is that information from a survey you took or are you throwing out wild guesses to justify your lack of integrity? Honesty still means something to a lot of folks. Don't try to group us all in to your way of thinking so you can sleep better at night.

Why don't we take a poll. I'd buy a new chip. aigo? anybody other than aigo here even HAVE a $1000 cpu? What's your price theJian? $800? $8? 8 cents? Is that all your integrity is worth? This is not meant as a personal attack. Look in the mirror and decide how you want your kids to look at you in the future. Will they think that it's ok to steal because daddy does it?

i dont even RMA videocards i zaped, bad mounting of waterblock, or leaked on the card, and it corroded over time(i could of cleaned that up nicely BTW so i could of pulled an RMA on it).

And i own EVGA's. I know they would take it in a heart beat, but yeah its unethical.

If you abuse the system too much, they start to hike up prices again. And the whole cycle repeats.

As for CPU's....

The QX i already lapped. :X



Also lets keep this civil... or mark is going to come in here and spank all of us. :T

I can think of quite a few Q6600 owners that did get denied, my cousin for one. IHS Problem. So i ended up lapping it. (and believe me when i say it was the worst ihs case i have ever seen)

Also you need to submit a used stock sink.

I dont think intel's policy is any different on Retails.

LOL. Uh, wouldn't that be the VISUAL problem I stated. IF your chip looks like you lit it on fire, lapped etc. I stated don't expect warranty.

Regarding Heatsinks, here's my RMA from 4 days ago with AMD:
Dear Mr. whatever,

RMA # 20000xxxxx
Date 03/24/2008


********* Please read entire instructions below *********


Thank you for contacting AMD regarding warranty replacement of your retail packaged 'Processor in a Box' processor(s).

This notification includes part number information, packaging and shipping instructions and details on the RMA process.

The following processor(s) have been authorized for return to AMD against the RMA number specified above. Please note that we cannot process any parts other than those specified in this RMA confirmation email.

Processor & Serial Number Details
OPN: ADA3800CUBOX
Serial: [blanked]


Packaging and Shipping Instructions:

Please note that in order for your return to be processed, the following items must be included in the package at time of drop off at a designated DHL drop off center:

1. Processor
2. Original heatsink/fan (Only if previously requested by an AMD Return Center representative).


Please ship the part(s) using the pre-paid shipping label provided in the attached file in this email message. This will allow tracking of your package, and will help expedite the RMA process.

Use the original packaging provided with the processor at the time of purchase for preparing your part(s) for RMA. If the original packaging is not available, place the processor in an antistatic bag (to avoid exposure to Electrostatic Discharge) and wrap with bubble wrap to protect the pins from damage prior to pickup and inspection. Any physical damage to either the processor or heatsink/fan due to improper packaging will void warranty coverage for your part(s) (heatsink/fan is not required to be shipped back unless previously requested by an AMD agent).

I'd venture to guess it's the same with Intel for end users (even though both say the sink it required in their warranty info). The above AMD chip was bought as an End user (as it's illegal for me to sell to myself unless I've demoed the product - But that's not hard to accomplish anyway). Resellers are treated differently.

Never said Intel couldn't tell you did OVERCLOCK. In fact I said the opposite and even explained WHY it's built in their chips (testing - but it has the added affect of CATCHING you if they take the time to do it). Re-read my posts.

How used do you think my heatsink looks? It was a DOA from a year ago before I moved. I just got around to digging it out to RMA it...LOL It's not going to be denied because it isn't dirty...ROFL. As a reseller for 8 years I know. My PC has filters covering everything and has NO dust ever (ok a few specs don't count, also I pushed every customer I could into filters, they love you for it later). All fans look brand new all year. I'm not the only guy on the planet using filters.

Never said any of this DOES NOT void your warranty. I said they have to take the time to catch you or you have to tell them what you did. Again, re-read what I said. Can you imagine the bad press from denying overclockers all the time? Look at what happened with Comcast and bandwidth (er..uh) throttling. Now they're kissing Bittorrents butt as customers flee their service. It's not worth it to Intel until it's a big problem. It's also cost prohibitive. Testing costs. Visual inspection is cheap and quick. If it passes visual/doa test you're pretty good to go.

ROFL. Did you read the post where I said I've never had to do it? Or how hard it is to actually kill one? OR how I advised my own customers not to push chips to the brink of death with volts/speed? So I can't answer that yet. I don't kill my chips.

Not meant as a personal attack?...LOL. Didn't you just call me a thief? Aren't you implying something here about my "lack" of integrity? I need to look in the mirror? LOL. Stop with the soapbox crap. I don't care what you think about me, my morals or my non-existent kids... As to the previous poster (and you, heck everyone whining about reality) I base my information on the amount of people willing to STEAL a $.99 cent song! How many people in here have never pirated anything? And I mean NOTHING. Anyone with there hand up answer the next one. How many have NEVER lied? I could go on and on but I think I got most...Still someone left with hand up? I guess Jesus doesn't need to come back. We just found all of you...:roll:

You trying to tell me bittorrent is popular for legal file sharing? Napter was all about legal music etc? If the whole world is that honest why do we have DRM? Why does the RIAA exist?...LOL. I don't need to take a survey to know more people will lie about a cpu that costs many times more than an MP3! Who's being more honest here? Me or YOU and all the people on moral high horses in here?

I can't even believe there are this many people in here that can't get over a little reality dose. I've been accused of advocating fraud (LOL), no integrity, my kids will be screwed up, etc...Grow up. Jeez...This reminds me of people who claim it's terrible to abort a baby but have no problem killing the doctor that does it with a gun/bomb etc. :thumbsdown:

Hopefully the mod will shut this thread down before you guys get way out of hand (if you haven't already). I'm out of this thread...Flame on...:disgust:
