My i5 2500k died a few weeks ago. On Intel's website, you can input the FPO number on the processor to get an estimated warranty expiration date. It was December 2014.
The live chat support only asked for the FPO, not for receipt or proof of purchase, so I assume they use the same tool to determine whether a product is still within the warranty period.
I just received the replacement (UPS 2 day air). It looks completely new. The box's edges are perfect, factory sealed sticker has never been taken off, shiny processor, etc.
I typed in the FPO of the new one and it said the warranty expires on 2017.
Does the warranty period reset after an RMA? Oversight or intentional? Wishful thinking on my part? :sneaky:
