14 day RMA on CPU,s ?

Do you think ocuk take every CPU returned under ccr install it in a system load up an os and run a comprehensive set of test to ensure it all works perfectly... How long would that take per cpu an hour, maybe two? That's a about £20 minimum in wages alone just to test a cpu return. Its far more likely that if its not been returned as faulty that they just visually check the cpu and packaging for any damage/ check the model and any serial number to check it hasn't been swapped and put it back on the shelf for 'b' grade sale. There was a recent thread about someone who had been sold a duff cpu that had been sold of a certain rainforest site. It appeared that someone had managed to swap out a 2011-3 cpu for a broken cheaper cpu and this hadn't been picked up when it had presumably previously been returned....

Your right you would not have needed to go back to intel in you scenario but it should have been returned as 'faulty' not 'un wanted' as per ccr
 
I dont know if they do or dont do that with a return Caracus,i hope that they dont have many back to test anyway. I do believe that they test returns though thats why you have to wait for a refund ?but then im assuming that.
This was the only product ive had to ever return so i just sent it as unwanted..in hindsight i should have said it was faulty.

Id hate anybody to get a faulty component whether it be new or 2nd hand pal,and the person that swapped out the 2011-3 for a cheaper broken one wants their nuts cutting off. Its a despicable thing to do,i was once shafted by a member on Flea bay,id have battered them if i knew him/her,luckily them and PayPal were superb.

Like i said i need to communicate better and at least now im very very happy with my CPU.

If it was a 4790k i wouldnt be suprised if it was just dodgey TIM, i've had a chip almost overheating at stock voltage using water cooling, im sure if i had tried the chip on a stock heat sink it would have been thermal throttling. Luckily i've always delidded my non soldered chips so it doesnt matter to me but i bet your average user would have to just send it back.

As long as you inform them it was faulty so they dont restock it then im sure its ok.
