Lets just wait a few more days for official release.

That's not a good idea, I'd keep a few towels handy just in case, high end WCs from corsair sometimes leak, no doubt these will too, and AMD warranty in India is handled by rashi right?

No...
Not sure, but it aint bad....
I gave my 2 year and 11.5 month old processor for replacement and they said they WILL give me a new one in a couple of days, hope they actually do...

Well personally I don't like the idea of water cooling. What if leakage causes damage to other components ?? Will they cover that too ??

That's a relief, cause on the back of the money receipt(from MD Computers), Rashi is listed as the Service provider for AMD, here too: Corporate Profile
If they are not then who is?
Corsair covers that in USA(total), but you can guess what will happen to Indian customers... I would strongly suggest to stay away from the WC kits. Even corsair said that we have to ship any damaged part to USA to get is replaced, that will cost more than the product itself.

not a good move by AMD. bundling a WC will kick the price up by 4k or more & will easily overshoot 2600k's price. what about those who already have a HP aircooler? i guess there shouldn't be any problem about the compatibility.
why not release some FX with WC as a premium bundle (& price is premium) and the rest with simple air coolers. lets wait. AMD may surprise us.

I think if the the cpus are really that high performing then AMD should not bundle any kind of coolers with the FX cpus - this will keep the cpu prices much lower ( and edge over SB K sku cpus which stock cooler ain't god ) and customers will get a wide choice of cpu coolers and if FX is targeted at the enthusiast users then they don't give a damn about stock cpu coolers as they will get some after market high end cpu cooler for sure 
but guys, for the general public, many don't go for an after market cooler, this would be a nice 'buy' point for them....someone who is not that well informed, might be fascinated by the 'Liquid Cooling' Bundled...so as long as they are not too cheap quality, I think its not such a bad thing if you think from AMD's point..
and then we will cry 'Get the H100 instead' and so on..?

Yup just stick to air cooling. Thats best because of very less or no risk at all.
