2600k dies. Advice?

I haven't seen the OP state that he lied to Intel, or that he told them the truth to get his RMA.
Did I miss that somewhere in this thread? Or are you all just bored and assuming what happened so you can carry on your conversation?

If he lied, then shame on him, you naughty person you.
If he told the truth, bravo to you Intel.

Regardless, good luck with the new CPU!
 
You're right Nissan, it must have been a power surge with a special digital signature that safely passed through every other component and targeted the CPU. The fact that it failed at the same time he cranked the frequency and voltage I'm sure is purely coincidental.

Tell me Einstein, why didnt it fail the first time with higher clocks and voltage? Or would you like to just continue grasping at straws? Did you end up getting those SEM images to conclusively prove OCing killed it? Or are you going to keep going on anecdotal internet evidence..?

Like you know jack shit about the digital signature of anything.:rolleyes: First get educated, then try to sound smart.
 
Don't need to "prove" it, I have the ability to apply deductive reasoning based on the evidence and make an educated guess on the cause. Something you've shown to be incapable of.

Based on your sound logic, one cannot blame alcohol for a car crash if alcohol was involved if the person had drank and not crashed before. Or that a punch wasnt the cause of a KO because the guy got punched and didn't get KOd before.

I have to admit, you're doing a very good job of sounding (being?) dumb. But please, continue talking and further prove education != intelligence.

Btw, are you having trouble unsubscribing from the thread?

Someone from the NSA/CIA got jealous of the OC potential of that chip and fried it, while they were doing the backup of OP's HDD :)

But yeah, when you run the component out of specs, and you killed it, well got to pay consequences. That's why I paid that OC-warranty from Intel for few bucks. When my 2500K dies from OC, I'll propably get a new one.
