I don't know what triggers Intel or AMD to question things, any more than I know what really causes Microsoft to occasionally question re-authentications! Or what causes the RIAA to go after individual music downloaders while they apparently let others slide. I just know that sometimes, it happens.That is interesting, so if someone abuses RMAs on cpus they are likely to have their RMAs questioned - makes sense.
@Roark, I agree that is a good idea, but I don't see how it will prevent these distractions. Just having it there in another forum will not bring attention to it in this forum. So if say "an after market cooler will violate your warranty" or if I post a link to a sticky that says the same thing, there will still be those who don't want others to be informed of that information and will challenge me on it - even though, I am just the messenger. These are not my policies. And I was not expressing my opinions either as my opinions about those facts are immaterial.
Many who are informed are appreciative of the information because they can free up the money they would have spent on the aftermarket cooler and use for more RAM or a better graphics solution or bigger monitor. Others don't care and that's fine too.
What would be good is if the regulars here would inform new posters of the facts too. Instead of repeatedly arguing over the same facts, over and over again. I mean, again these are not my facts. They are right there in our warranties and EULAs.
