I figured I'd add this. When I went to get an RMA for the processor it told me I had to go through the manufacturer. Then I read the return policy and saw I was still eligible considering the processor has been in my possession for about 16 hours now. Now, when they say MUST BE RETURNED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS OF INVOICE DATE, what is the invoice? Does that mean the day I ordered it? The day I received it? Can someone clarify?
Just for reference, this is straight from newegg.com:
