Overclocking is now covered under optional warranty package via Intel tuning plan
The biggest hassle for overclockers is the risk of warranty void when a processor fails while running beyond the specific operational range of Intel’s factory tuned specifications. However to meet the demands of enthusiasts, Intel have offered an optional warranty plan Performance Tuning Protection Plan.
The Performance Tuning Protection Plan being offered by Intel is a chance for you to experiment with the overclocking features of your processor without the worries of what will happen if you push the procesor too far. The Plan allows you a single processor replacement, hassle-free, from our customer support. This is in addtion to your standard 3 year warranty. In other words, if it fails under normal usage, we will replace it under the standard warranty; if it fails while running outside of Intel’s specifications, we will replace it under the Performance Tuning Protection Plan.
So what we are saying is this: Go ahead and push it, we’ve got your back.
The Plan covers all unlocked processors (with a X or K suffix), and any processor in the LGA2011 socket, starting with Intel® 2nd Generation Core™ processors.
