Thanks buddy - Not sure what happened to this one...one day no video or boot. This happened months ago btw...just came across the chip under some rubble and figured I had better get to it lol.

i kinda just called intel up and rmaed it that way

you can do it either way, you just get less questions doing online

Yeah calling them they get mad at you.

I had to send mine to north carolina or tennessee or something (not an english speaker either) who assummed I know nothing about tech.

:thumbdown:

Well I was trying to run a 500 FSB on a Q6600 but they dont need to know that :)(on air in a case)

Yea they act like they're giving up their first child when you ask for a new chip.

do they ask for all the origional packaging and a reciept ???

I have a pile of dead chips laying here :ohcrap:

Don't think they asked for a receipt, but they do want to know the code on the HSF. Usually, IME, it's "DELTA". They have always had me send back the HSF with the chip.

Worth a try though, tell them you bought them from Microcenter as OEM chips

I will give it a whirl, I have some HSF but not sure what chip they go to as I was buying used one's as well .....
