    May be Gary. I know of someone else on OCN that had the same thing happen and Intel RMA'd it for him. I thought that was just a fluke, but maybe not.
    Ye Steve would have been nice to see a pic of it when it was opened eh? even so I still reckon it was lucky.

    I wonder if that is why Intel implemented the $25 CPU OC'ing insurance? As far as I know, that started with Ivy Bridge.

    Two things amaze me about this thread. First...how or why anyone would ever decide to remove the IHS from a processor, especially an expensive, current one. I've made keychains out of old, dead processors...but I can't understand why anyone would do that.

    As for RMA, why the argument over the word and it's usage? Acronyms don't need to be pronounceable words, and in fact, many are not. They are made up of the first letter of a longer title, for example, CIA. Does anyone actually try to pronounce that as a word?
    Acronym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Furthermore, this is an internet forum. If proper English was a requirement, no site like this would exist anymore. If some want to use RMA as a verb to shorten the description of the process, why rant about it? Manufacturer's use it as a verb, so it isn't just computer forums. Intel and Patriot have both recently instructed me to RMA their products in trying to solve a major system issue.

    Yes, I'm saying this mostly in jest, but I'm sure we can find something better to argue about, right? :)

    And yet here you are arguing. And your link contradicts you.

    My link confirms my point...just look at the examples. HTML is another. Acronyms aren't always said as words. If so, I'm going to walk into my bosses office today and refer to her as a cufo...since that must be the way to say CFO.

    HTML isn't an acronym; it's an initialization.

    If you insist on splitting hairs, fine, then so be it, if you really need to argue semantics to that level. However, I did go ask two of our PR writers, and both laughed at the question...yet both said there's really no differentiating...and to call something like HTML an acronym is no incorrect.

    But then again, if you need to argue a point like this online, I'd suggest a hobby, a mate...something else to occupy your time.
