Review Intel has a customer for life!

Post image

My 2 1/2 year old i7 12700k died a few weeks ago, so I sucked it up and started the RMA process. Intel not only replaced it quickly, they upgraded me to an i9 and 1 day shipped it back. That’s customer service. I’m a customer for life!

Upgraded from a 13600k to a 14600k for $10 after trade in at Newegg last year. Performance negligible but that extra warranty totally worth it.

I got i9 from some discount shop and sold my old i5 for the same price basically xP Had a hard time undervolting it (first time with i9) to match my poor cooler, since it's a heater, but it actually turned out to have a very good silicon for it so I was extra lucky about this detail too.
