CPU insurance from NEWEGG?

[zer0gravity]

So I am about to buy my last part to my computer the CPU and wanted to know what insurance to get for it because I'm water cooling it and......I literally fried my last one VIA milk (No use crying over spilt milk i've heard it) So NEWEGG has two insurance policies but which one should I buy.

One is for if the CPU fails, one is if you accidentally brick/destroy the CPU. Pick which you want

Fuck Newegg. Amazon with prime is about 10x better.  Contact chat support -> get items sent to you for free. There is your free insurance and you don't even need to pay yearly for it!

when you return a cpu nobody ever asked me what I used to cool it. I also don't volunteer any information that wouldn't be relevant.just clean it off with rubbing alcohol package it the way it's supposed to be packaged ( original box/cpu cooler and that little black plastic cap ) in a box with the rma # printed on the outside.

So I have nothing but good to say about Newegg, but I have started doing my more expensive purchases through amazon, even if its a few bucks more just because the return and coverage policy has been easier and better. Had a bricked MOBO with both Newegg and Amazon. Newegg took 4-6 weeks to resolve it. Amazon had a new one shipped before the old one even got back.

That's exactly why I love them so much. They value the consumer higher than the companies linked to them lol.

Hi zer0gravity,

 

I apologize for the confusion. Please email us at wecare@newegg.com with the Newegg item number of the item you are looking to purchase so we can get some clarification on these two protection plans. Please also include a link to this review.
