Hey guys,

I just wanted to ask how warranty applies to overclocked CPU's. I am starting to think about OC'ing my new CPU that i am going to get, but I am worried about the CPU breaking 6 months down the line or whatever. If I send the broken OC'ed CPU back to the shop, will this impact my warrenty and how could they tell that I OC'ed my CPU?

BTW I live in England if that helps somehow.

Ty for any help:D

It doesn't apply, you OC at your own risk. I seriously doubt your CPU will die anytime soon as long you're not sending an absurd amount of voltage through it. You can probably RMA it successfully, but it's an unofficial rule if you OC and you break it, don't get a replacement. Sort of like an honor code.................
