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.



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.

I have a pile of dead chips laying here

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 .....
