Intel launches new CPU replacement plan for hardcore overclockers

Nice. But all it is, is insurance. You pay an upfront fee they forward that to their insurance backer and in the case a chip needs to be replaced they file a claim for the actual cost of the chip to them.

Have yet to fry a CPU, I normally dont go nuts. But a defective chip can give up easily and if it looks like it was from overclocking id be screwed.
