Kingston memory RMA question

I just went through the process of getting an RMA due to having one bad stick of Kingston HyperX memory I bought last week. I've never had to do this so, process is new to me. The way I understand it is, after the request for RMA is sent, Kingston approves it, and then they send a new kit to me. All sounds fine to me, but it sounds as if I keep the memory until the new kit is shipped. Once the kit arrives, I give the delivery guy the bad stuff (kit) (I'm going to assume Kingston sends a return envelope or package within the new kits package) and he takes it away after I place the memory inside. Am I understanding the process correct? Reason I'm asking this is it mentions Cross/Ship

Off topic but, i just spent the last hour installing the temperature sensor under the cpu. Patience....what the!! All done and needed for overclocking!

Wish i could tell you how it works but never had to RMA anything. (knocks on wood) I will say that i have been running hyperX memory in my rig now for 3 years (overclocked) and never had a problem with them. (4x1 gb) When i start building a new rig this summer i will be getting hyperX again.

:icon_eek: I hope that's just badly phrased,Oleboy! :)

Absolutely nothing goes underneath the cpu...nor between the heatsink fan and cpu (except a smear of thermal compound). Most of the 3rd party temp sensors are taped to the upper part of the heatsink fan where it mates with the cpu.
 
Under the cpu with the wires exiting between the pins is where it's at. Why would the sensor not go there? Seems like the most logical place. I never really thought about as my current machine had had one there for over 7 years

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! :icon_eek::jawdrop:


This will most likely lead to the cpu/mobo being shorted out! I'd not bother with a physical 3rd party thermal sensor at all...use a software thermal monitor like REALTEMP or Lavalys Everest
 
Well, since you put that way, time to remove it. I don't need anything shorting out!! :salute:

Update; It's removed.
..Thanks for the useful advice KD
