[Turbando]

So, I've been trying some SEs using just a Serial Number and a Proof of Purchase and so far I've scored a nice pair of HyperX Cloud Alphas, but recently I got a new GPU for my PC (Which I could SE) and I noticed I could use a new CPU too, having spent so much money on the GPU already I dont feel like forking another 300/400€, that being said I'm trying to SE AMD into sending me a new CPU for free, so far they asked for the PoP, which I made myself "by hand", and a picture of the cpu on my motherboard to which I replied with a corrupted picture.

As usual I'll keep you updated!

thanks for posting, great info!

Did you try this on Intel or just AMD? 
Did they ask for a S/N yet? It could be that the S/N is written on the CPU and they want the picture to get that.
I would try sending them the S/N along with the picture and any other info you have to prove you really have it.

They asked for the S/N on their form, what they're asking now for is a picture of the CPU on the motherboard with the S/N visble.

Please keep us updated. Which method are you going to use?

I don't even know yet, I'm just testing the waters
