Does it feel good to insult a complete stranger? As I said in my post "I've always had good luck with these guys", so how does that make me a sucker? As far as "Burned In" goes. I like to know that my Mobo, CPU and RAM have all been assembled and tested. Having been in the IT industry for 10 years now, I know what the failure rate is on Mobo's, CPU's and RAM, and I'll pay a whopping $10 not to have to worry about it. Not to mention the 2 year warranty. I also live fairly close to them, I can order something and have it in 3 days.
You said
"You wanna pay em $10 to "burn in" your processor....LOL what a load of chit. Download prime95 or Sisoft Sandra and do it yourself. Even if you get an OEM processor it still has a 30 day warranty."
Nooooo, I want to burn-in my mobo and RAM. In 10 years I have worked on literally thousands of computers, I have only seen 1 CPU DOA from the factory, the few other failed CPU's I have seen resulted from poor cooling. But I have seen tons of mobo's and memory go bad, often after 30 days.
You are totally entitled to your opion, just don't be an bellybutton about it.
