amd cpu rma

[MyCampGround]

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.

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

Legit.

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

Faulty temp sensors are a problem on FM CPU/APU boards.

Did you try putting fresh thermal paste on the cpu?

[MyCampGround]

Guys the question im trying to get answered is if amd is good at replacing cpu's or is it going to be a pain in my ass?
