<0> just use it
<1> you cant rma cpus on newegg
<1> they clearly state that
<0> if its doa they will take it back
<2> rma to amd
<3> no, because they will figure out what happened
<0> theyre not going to tie a ****ing cinder block to your face and throw you in a river
<3> and refuse
<3> so
<3> I don't care.
<0> then burn your mother alive
<0> in an oven
<3> It is not worth it
<0> LOL
<2> so the **** what? maybe youll get lucky?
<0> lol yea wtf
<0> just try
<2> at most you spend a few dollars on shipping
<1> lmao Fidelity_
<0> hahahhahahaha
<0> i gotta go to bed
<3> All of the heatsink paste is melted to it
<0> good luck guys
<2> maybe that person at amd is having a really good day that day and sends you another
<2> ****ing do it
<0> DO it you ****
<1> stainer72: make an attempt
<1> if it takes longer than 2 weeks... sell your ****
<1> all of it but the cpu
<1> when u get it.. sell it
<4> Or maybe you get a guy at AMD who's BTDT.
<0> do it you ****
<3> no the mobo, keyboard, mouse, and case though, right?
<3> I can't sell that
<1> u can sell a sack of **** on ebay
<1> http://www.themejunkie.com/preview.php?id=1550
<3> what would you do if you were me eneerge?
<3> would you attempt to get an RMA no matter how hopeless it is?
<1> well..
<4> yes
<4> I would
<4> I *DID*
<4> WHen I had a board come bad
<4> I RMAed it to Gigabyte
<4> Who sent me ANOTHER DOA board
<4> SO I sent it back to them again
<4> and got a good one
<1> i would make an attempt at an rma.. if in a few weeks i find out it's not worth my time to wait.. id sell my stuff... then if they tell you it was successful, you wil receive a new cpu sometime, and you could sell it
<1> i just went from saying I to you
<1> amd should honor i think
<5> to get the heatpaste off use acetone
<5> pure acetone
<5> and then finish off with 90%+ alcohol
<3> then they'll know i messed with it
<5> cause using thermal grease voids warranty
<5> how would they know?
<3> umm, it won't be there
<3> i didn't use any
<5> the thermalpaste?
<5> oh
<3> i just used the default heatsink pad
<5> what did you use?
<5> oh that's cool then
<3> but it melted off onto the cpu
<3> so they'll know i used it
<0> theyre not going to ****ing saw your arms off and have anal *** with you
<0> because you wanted an rma
<4> They'll say "No."
<2> OMG THEYLL KNOW!
<4> And you say "Ok"
<5> well its supposed to be metled onto it
<3> Through a long drawn out mail process
<0> they will probably cut your tounge occ
<0> off
<1> <0> theyre not going to ****ing saw your arms off and have anal *** with you LMAO
<2> dude its a ****ing rma. its not national security
<0> lmao
<2> they arent going to dip into your family history
<3> I KNOW
<3> But i want to know if it is even worth doing
<4> YES
<3> you made it sound like i have a penis's chance in prison.
<4> IT TAKES LIKE 20 ****ING MINUTES TO BOX IT AND MAIL IT
<3> and it could be my damn mobo that is ****ing it up too!!
<1> hmm
<3> I mean, first my psu goes out....
<1> do what b***boon said and clean the paste off
<3> and i buy a replacement that powers everything ok
<3> it is not paste. It is the thermal pad
<6> what you guys think of this? http://www.nahallan.com/forum/index.php?topic=66.msg251#msg251
<3> that came with it
<6> (the selection of product)
<1> well clean it off
<3> I think it is better to just leave it on. IF they see it is off they'll know i am hiding something
<1> what Interitus
<3> They aren't going to be like, "Look, there is no thermal pad. Must not have been included....
<1> stainer
<1> ok
<1> do this
<6> Good combo of products? possible conflicts? http://www.nahallan.com/forum/index.php?topic=66.msg251#msg251
<1> do something to make the hsf not work
<1> and then they'll see what happened
<1> the hsf quit
<3> I'll just send in the thing as is
<3> really, it is not a user error
<3> I installed it as directed, and it fried
<1> true
<3> So what if the right clamp was only partially over the right clip? Shouldn't have fried the damn cpu
<3> They can't tell.
<1> nope
<3> "There is clip residue on the heatsink's tab!"
<1> they should honor the rma
<4> Yes it should have, and it did, but they won't care.
<7> hmmm im coming in on the tail end of this conversation... how do you know the cpu is fried?
<4> dlion: BIOS errors, and circumstances that should lead to a CPU friecd
<3> five mobo eeps
<3> beeps*
<2> Clue: stainer72, in the computer room, with the heatsink.
<1> 5 short beeps
<7> hmmm
<4> He was too lazy to attach the whole HSF, so he clipped on one side but not the other side, then he posts it and gets 5 beeps and nothing else
<7> is there any carbon scoring on the chip?
<3> but the hsf was clamped down itself securely
<7> err burnmarks, for the layman ;p
<3> don't see any
<4> No it wasn't
<8> http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Red-Black-White-Nike-Air-Jordan-Size-8-Shoes_W0QQitemZ7214618554QQcategoryZ73931QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
<8> ^^ LOL
<7> have you tried a diff powersupply?
<4> If it was clamped down itself securely, then both sides would be putting even pressure on the whole cap
<7> a bad psu can give same beep code as bad cpu
<1> dlion: his psu failed once
<1> he replaced it
<3> my first psu broke
<3> I replaced it with a different problem
<7> the newer amd chips have a built in thermal protection
<3> Want to know what i did immediately before the beeps?
<5> how new?
<7> it will shut down when temps get to high
<5> which ones dlion
<1> really?
<7> i know all the a64's do
<3> i just got my 3700+ amd
<1> i thought intel only incorporated that
<5> dlion, that's motherboard based
<4> Thermal protection won't protect against an 80c rise in .5 seconds because of a pocket of super heated air being squeezed against the processor
<5> not all in the cpu like intel
<7> to my knowledge, the only way to fry a modern cpu is by overvolting it
<5> concur^
<7> or repeated overheats
