If its anything like that Intel Performance Tuning plan they were offering a couple of years back you should be able to just get in touch with them using the normal chat tool bud.

I used it once to replace my previous 4960X - first one I had couldn't do stock frequency without nearly 1.3v! and it couldn't run 4 sticks of memory at anything higher than 1333Mhz so I claimed on it. Replacement was awesome - 4.5Ghz @ 1.24v with 2400Mhz on ram no probs lol.
