None of the applications advise a bedding in period, the images are photoshoped, I think a few of us were mocking what HoneyBadger said in the 3rd post on this thread regarding letting your system "bed in" :P

Here is an extract:

"Hi there

We don't sell a 30-day installation insurance because as rjk has stated UK law (Sale of Goods Act) covers you for this. There is no point in simply charging a customer for a right they already have. It would be a total rip off and here at OcUK the customer is King.

We have such good relationships with our suppliers that in the instance of any damage from CPU installation more than likely we can get your product repaired / replaced with a new one.

If you were to damage your pins in the CPU socket within 6 months I would just sort you out and replace or repair the board. So there really is no need for this sort of service.

I hope this clears it up

Bailey"

I hope that is true as I know it wasn't me, if the pins are damaged, who damaged them but I also can't shell out for another board. I should have checked it all before building but I 'assumed' all would be well as I have built dozens of LGA based systems and never damaged anything

very interesting and even better to know!

edit: must be a relatively knew thing though as there have been a number of threads before on here where people got knocked back on RMA's due to bent pins etc.
 
If it's Bailey you're dealing with, you're in safe hands matey :)

Personally I'd never open an electrical component and switch it on directly after delivery - have you felt how cold some of these packages get, even in the summer? Bringing that into a warm, (relatively) humid environment and whacking it straight on is asking for trouble; I'd always open the box and give it an hour to acclimatise.

Whether or not you'd call that "bed-in time" is up to you tho :p

Totally agree. Defo leave things for a couple of hours to get up to room temps before installing these.

I'm pretty sure some equipment documentation comes with that warning on it, I know I've seen it on some items due to condensation/moisture buildup from being stored in cold warehouses etc.
