Question Intel Warranty Plan for i7 8700k

[BlazingAngels]

Is possible to purchase a intel warranty plan anytime the warranty has not expired or been voided?

You cant purchase any warranty from intel, there is the 3 year warranty tied to the processor at time of purchase. Thats it from intel.

To add to that the 3 year warranty is only for retail/boxed cpus. OEM/tray cpus(which some retailers do sell have no Intel warranty.

To add to all this, CPU failure rates are like 0.5% or less. The chances of ever needing an extended warranty is slim to none. Short of overclocking the crap out of it and not cooling it properly it takes a whole lot to kill a CPU and it will be long obsolete before ever getting near the point of failure.

Extended warranties on most items are usually a waste of money, if they even existed for a CPU that would be an even bigger waste of money.

I am referring to the purchasable warranty that allows you to request an RMA and get sent a replacement CPU before you send your current CPU back, is that possible at anytime before your current warranty expires?

Obviously, the place to ask is Intel:

USAFRet detailed it, but my point was whether it is or isn't available, its a waste of money.
