hello PC enthusiast, 

     OK i have a quick question regarding amd's rma process. I recently had a problem with my CPU overheating, i don't overclock and i am just using the stock heat-sink. are they going to give me any hassle about this? Are they pretty good at rma their products no questions asked? Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advanced.

                                                                                              Your fellow PC enthusiast, MyCampGround

RMA because CPU "overheats" (temps not provided) with stock heatsink

Legit.

This is a signature.

What is your case, what are your CPU temps, what are your ambient temps?
