    Yeah well thankfully I've only had to deal with Intel 1 time before & I see they haven't sped up their RMA Process any at all. Their about as slow as crap running uphill IMO, You contact them then wait 3-5 days for an automated response letting you know they received your e-mail & that they will get back with you in 2-3 days. So then you finally get a human response from them & all they want to know is a bunch of information about the CPU & your system.

    So you give them all the info they want then wait 3-5 days for another automated response from them letting you know they received your e-mail &n they will get back with you in 2-3 days. They again want to know a bunch of Info, Rinse & Repeat is about all they like to do. The last time I had a CPU go bad about 4 years ago I think it took about 4 month's from the first time I contacted them until I finally received a new CPU back from them ...

    Got my RMA from Intel today for the 980X that I'm not sure is bad or not, it's running the Asteroid Wu's now @ 4.2Ghz the same as the other 980X I have. It also ran some Primaboinca Wu's the other day for some Hr's @ 4.2 Ghz soooooooooo ... Neither 980X will clock over 4.2, at least not under BOINC load so that just may be their limit under BOINC Load. I'll try some NFS on it later & see if it crash's again. I have 60 Days to send it in for a replacement so there's no hurry on it now that I have the RMA in hand ...

    Just sent the problem 980X out for RMA, as soon as I switched it back over to NFS & the 1Gb+ Wu's it crashed so I had enough of it. It'll probably be the week after next before I get a replacement for it with the Holidays & all ...
