It's your fault, but it's your vendor and AMD's fault

How many "oh no I fried my AMD chip" thread have you seen that haven't had someone suggest just RMA it? I bet the answer is zero. When someone makes a mistake and they know it, what makes it okay to shove it up someone's butt to absorb the cost for them? What about the people encouraging them to RMA something they broke? Whether your excuse is "I didn't mean to", "I can't afford to absorb $300 loss" or whatever, you're just rationalizing making someone else pay for your own mistake as if it was their fault.


When you follow the instruction and use the materials stated in the instruction manual and something goes wrong, it is understandable to RMA it, but encouraging someone to RMAing something they broke due to stupidity and RMA'ing something that got fried that you know was your fault is absolutely wrong.

Hey if I bought a car from you today, I drive it into a tree and return it to you in totalled state tomorrow, do you feel like you should have to give me the money back? I hope you can say hellz yes if you're suggesting someone to return something they busted out of stupidity. People like this really makes me mad.

I'm only posting this because I noticed quite a few crying thread involving burnt AMD CPU's once again.
 


<< Are you posting this to make up for your "free lunch kids" thread? >>




Actually not. I thought I'd speak up about my view on forcing someone else to pay for your fault after the K7S5A+burnt memory thread.
 


<< I don't know, why don't you tell us? >>



Heh, as much as I dont like the boy, thats coming pretty close to crossing the line. 😀

Pretty damn funny though. 🙂
 
Although it's still whining..I <gasp> am agreeing with jerboy on this.

<--- ducks in case a flying pig swoops by

You fubar it and you need to eat the cost..same if I OC'ed my CPU too much and fried it. Do I send it back to AMD or the reseller for a refund..Nope, swallow my pride and say..guess it won't go that high.

Agreed. It seems Jerboy can't get any respect here even when he's 100% right.
 
Almost seems like people think they are just trying out the equipment, if breaks just send it back and get a new one. Cpus, video cards, ram, mobos are all done this way. Unless it dies from normal use or its doa then its your fault, not the ccompany that sold it to you.



Here your quarter Jerboy 🙂

meh... Thank you 😉
 
Bah, CPUs are nickle & dime. This is the land of "not my fault". It's not my fault I'm obese, with buckled knees on disability. Not my fault I've got 5 kids by 4 unknown fathers and have to collect welfare. I can't help it if I have to rob stores to pay for my drug habit, the "man's" keeping me down! AMD can't help it if their CPUs are overclocked right out of the box... 😀
 
AMD and the companies who sell their chips market the cpus to a "do it yourself" croud. If they aren't smart enough to make and sell a heatsink that works either way you mount it, they should be forced to eat the cost of replacing a fried chip. If not, they should ONLY sell to authorized, trained OEMs who attach the heatsink with an indestructable, unremovable fastening system.

Better yet, if AMD can't design a chip that won't destroy itself if it's run without a heatsink (like Intel does), they should expect to eat the price of many replacement chips.

Some poor kid who is building his first system and puts the heatsink on backwards should not be forced to take a $100-270 loss.
 
Dont make AMD eat the cost, I have too much of their stock for that, you eat it if you install it wrong.

And who overclocked jerboy?? sniff, sniff, is that smoke??
