Intel CPU's have OC black box

[deathman20]

I always hold to if you overclock it and burn it, your fault, don't RMA it.

Indeed.

regardless, intel makes it very clear that overclocking voids warranty even though people have RMA'd and still been given replacements.


Besides, it takes some talent to kill a CPU with just air cooling on these core 2 duo's

Well sucks that you can't put aftermarket cooling on a CPU without voiding warrenty since stock coolers suck anyways. It is easy thought to fry a chip on air surely anyone can do it, crappy cooler no fan it can be done.


So many people RMA over clocked cpu's its horrible. They straight out admit it yet its about a 50/50 split of people in the thread that say its ok and say don't do it, your fault your problem to buy a new one.
