February 29, 20206 yr Interesting and informative video, if a bit over long. Thanks for posting. Strange that for something relevant to most of us, there have been no responses to it, but I suppose it's still night time in the US. Although I'm sure if you had posted some trivial speculation about MSFS it would have generated several pages by now. John B
March 1, 20206 yr I think it is a bit strange video with arguments I can't follow. You put the CPU outside the warranty limits and you are going to complain if you don't get warranty. There is nothing wrong with overclocking but you know the risks that are involved. The argument that Intel has a lot of money should not be reason to give fraudulent answers. Also, saying that if your support request is denied, you should stop the conversation and try it again with an other Intel employee is very sketchy. I would say, if you want to have a warranty, you should not put your hardware outside of the warranty limits. Computer specs: CPU: fast | RAM: enough | GPU: fast | SSD: Pretty fast | Monitor: big | Internet bandwidth: pretty fast | Everything is 3Dfx compatible. 😉
March 2, 20206 yr Author The same applies to AMD if you use the OC settings that AMD showed on the launch video you can void your warranty, both have a recommended ram speed below 3000. Raymond Fry.
March 3, 20206 yr Alternatively, if you own a recent Intel CPU you can buy the Intel Performance Tuning Protection Plan. It covers you for any damage to your processor if you decide to overclock it. https://click.intel.com/tuningplan/ i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
March 5, 20206 yr Yep. Intel Performace Tuning Plan is very cheap. Mad not to get it really. I usually do unless I'm delidding.

We were talking about the Performance Tuning Protection Plan, not the tuning tool. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3

It extends the warranty to cover your overclocking endeavors. If you damage your CPU overcloking, Intel will replace the CPU.
March 6, 20206 yr Author Simple you just lie anyway, did you use XMP profile answer NO don't know how to. Raymond Fry.

And wouldn't impact any warranty anyway as the RAM is made to run at that frequency. I suppose re CPU overclocking, you could lie if you damaged it overclocking, as long as Intel couldn't tell if that was why it failed from the type of damage. But that would be a very naughty thing to do and you are a very naughty man for even thinking of it. 😁
