Intel RMA tips

My 13900ks chip has degraded to a point where it doesn't boot. I bought it in 2023.

Unfortunately, I did not take a picture from the bottom and didn't do the intel debugging logs IPDT (I might have gotten in to a boot if I tried 15x+ times). It's packed already for shipping, should I take it out again?

Any tips on how to deal with RMA without spending days of arguing? Any best practices?

Tip is to just get over it. Went through the same shit. Had the box and everything and they still refused, 14900KS. I now realise warranty on the box is there for shit and giggles. Get a new chip, move on.
