AMD Warranty question...

[Mysterio]

as the subject says...
I believe that some online retailers sell their OEM AMD CPUs with only 30 days warranty, sometimes 15 days...
I had a chance to go to Singapore for a vacation, and when I asked around they offer 1 year warranty for OEM parts and 3 years standard warrranty for the retail box...

so, what's up w/ this? anyone can confirm w/ this? if there r online retailers that give 1 year AMD warranty, can u pls state the URL here....thanks a lot in advance....

www.compuplus.com offers a 1 year oem warranty on their thunderbirds.

edit: go to Pricewatch and select a thunderbird cpu speed. most of the retailers list their oem warranty length on the cpu in the Description field. there are a bunch more that offer 1 year on oem.

Sunset Marketing
SN Computers
are the first two i can see.

Monarch Computer offers a 3 year warranty with all of their OEM AMD CPUs.

I think monarch only offers a 3 year warranty on their OEM CPU's when bought as a CPU/MB combo package. Ofcourse, I may be wrong. At any rate, I ordered my CPU/MB from them and was very happy. Not that many people these days will keep a CPU that long. I am already getting itchy for a 1.2Ghz...

I just checked and Monarch includes the 3 year warranty on individual processors, and the prices are not bad.
A 1GHZ Thunderbird is $198.

They also have cheap, fast shipping.

Watch out for warranties that expire if you overclock them. If you are an overclocker that is.
