I wonder if anyone has actually had a CPU burn out on them in less than 20 years. Dead on arrival yes, dead due to overvoltage yes, but dead through normal under-warranty use?

bare in mind this is the OEM version with a 1 year warranty, the Retail version has 3 years

Same could be said for a lot of things, not saying its a bad deal just saying some people would like a little more warranty for a small outlay

Yes, but these skylake chips are fragile and are known to crack under the weight of air coolers. No harm in a longer warranty.

They crack? WTF?
Intel just had to move to 14nm, it's way too thin and therefore fragile! Give me back my 28nm CPUs or better yet make that 0.32 microm!

the cracking issue is only really an issue if you transport your computer a lot
