Like who??
Via? IDT WinChip? IBM? Who?
I too do not understand this post. I as well, am currently using intel and will probably continue to do so, but a healthy AMD does nothing but help us all. A dead AMD does not.
Your post is the worst of 'fanboyism'. I strongly suggest you...
Capacitors can most definately whine. Was confirmed by Asus. A quick google search would confirm this. Though I would agree it is fairly unlikely today with solid state capacitors, though it wasn't always so. I just thought I would mention my experience, as a capacitor was to blaim.
Either...
I've had this issue before on an Asus motherboard a few years ago. It was a capacitor. It's very difficult to localize because of the high frequency of the whine, but it's just a thought. I had to RMA the board. It drove me mad!!!
Sorry if this was mentioned.
I agree. I prefer the choices that Intel provides. Although there is a price premium to those choices, I still prefer them.
I like AMD procs too, but their chipsets don't excite me and who want's to rely on marvell? Their performance is hideous.
That's an interesting point of view. I'm sure that's exactly what their warranty says, I don't know, but I'll concede the point.
However; have you ever RMA'd a CPU?? And if so, was the CPU you RMA'd ever OC'd? And if not, would you? Or would you hold yourself to the same high standard you...
I get what you're saying aigomorla, I understand how it works. I don't need the explaination, though it's appreciated. I'm just pointing out that I think it's disingenuous on Intel's part if that is their policy for a proc they market as 'unlocked' and 'unleashed'. I understand the 'fine print'...
The fact that I use 1600 or 1866 DDR3, but still run it within spec invalidates my warranty?? Seems a bit extreme doesn't it? Especially for a product sold unlocked and marketed to the overclocking crowd.
I understand that some people will push too far, not know what they're doing and 'pop'...
I've been reading these forums for quite some time and I have a few observations.
OP. Yes. Keep it simple. Don't try to overstate your case. "My cpu died. Can you replace it?" And as many have said, Level 1 support is usually provided off of a script. It's not the customer services reps fault...
