Amd Rma?

Anyone know if AMD will RMA a whole CPU if the HSF dies? One of our servers at work was crashing repeatedly today. When we opened it up we found a one fo the CPU fans spinning slowly and making an awful racket. We bought a new HSF at CompUSA to get the server back up and the chip (retail MP 1600+, <3 years old) still works fine. I'm wondering if its even worth contacting AMD over this? Any thoughts/opinions?

I wouldn't worry about it.

If it's a retail CPU you should hang on to the old HSF though since you can't RMA the CPU without the HSF. They have to be shipped back together.

Thanks for the tip.
