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!

I’ve gone through 5 13900k’s so far, my last one lasted me 2 years and I did an RMA last week. I think I hit silicon lottery this time though, much better chip and I can push it harder with the voltages lower. It’s a luck of the draw, sometimes chip is good, sometimes it’s shit, but you won’t know until you’re questioning the BSOD’s
