Has anyone here RMA an intel CPU before ???


As i had to RMA my faulty i7 2600k cpu and am wondering if i should buy an i5 2500k cpu to use while waiting for the faulty i7 replacement to arrive..

what happened?

Was working fine for just over a month..

Then This happened

I was doing nothing apart from browsing the internet (mainly on here )...

The night before i was browsing the internet with no problems.Then i shut down my PC to go to bed...
Then the next day i come home from work pressed the power buttom on PC and it just kept on looping
(It would power up for a few seconds and then shut down and then power up again and then shut down......over & over & over )

I thought it was my motherboard at first.so i RMA my motherboard to ocuk and it tested fine..
So i then RMA my i7 CPU to ocuk and they found it was faulty and has now been returned to there supplier.

Sorry to bump this but as I'm now in the same boat I'd like to know how long it took before you got a replacement CPU?

about 4 weeks...
