Questions on Parts warranty?

[JustABitSalty]

So I'm finally going to build my PC. Ordered all the parts & such. My processor was the first to arrive and then I started thinking about warranties just in case.

So I bought my Xeon 1231v3 off of JET.com because I just said whatever as it was on sale and didnt bother reading anything about warranties or such. So now I have a couple of questions.

I know components are usually registered with the manufacturer for warranty but when I tried looking up any sort of possible warranty on intel.com with my FPO number nothing came up and JET gave me no option of additional warranty before check out. So can someone help me out here?

I think retailer cover the warranty for cpus, back when i got mine i searche the intel site too and couldnt find anything.

There's a 3yr warranty on intel cpu's including the xeon v3 1200 series. You should have a receipt of some sort or proof of purchase from jet.com that will show when you purchased it for purposes of a starting date. So long as it was a retail boxed version (came in a clamshell package in a box with paperwork) and not oem (no retail box, just a bare chip in a clamshell package).

If you're in doubt there's an online tool to check your specific cpu but you'll need the numbers off the cpu itself.

So Do I need to do any warranty/product registration? Or simply be able to provide proof of purchase?

I would think just proof of purchase. If you're concerned and would rather be safe, give intel a call and ask their support dept for a definitive answer. I would keep a hold of the original retail box (if it needs shipped back) and a copy of the purchase receipt/invoice. The 3yrs should begin at date of purchase so they have a reference point to calculate the 3yr warranty.
