P55-UD6 socket burn

I don't think Intel can verify that particular cpu has been overclocked or not. Or they can?
So it still depends on user's ethics and honesty whether he decides to RMA it or not.

BTW, I remember I had Intel Bad Axe board when Conroe just came out and believe it or the board died in such a way that it saved all my overclocking settings without the ability to erase it (not even bios reset). So If I sent it to RMA they would certainly see that I run cpu out of spec That's interesting

so changing any clockspeed above what intel officially supports/specifies voids the warranty?

Core i7 1366 doc:


so wait, running an i7 above ddr3 1066 voids warranty?
intel certifies xmp profiles that go above 2000, but running above 1066 voids the warranty? i dont even know a SINGLE person who runs his i7 at only 1066... even pre-configured systems from dell and hp etc run their memory above 1066...

so intel basically made the official warranty so tight, about every single end user who ever uses an i7 voids its warranty and intel doesnt actually have to rma the cpu if they want to...

i think you guys are overdoing it a bit francois
