4790k warranty?

[1832vin]

i mean, for most of the time, the warranty goes for if you have not OC the chip, but i want to, and devil's canyon is all about the OC, but i mean, i can't afford to buy a new chip if it breaks because i OC, so yeah....
do i void my warranty by OC on a devil's canyon chip?

They can't prove overclocking is the cause even if it was. Technically overclocking does break the warranty but Intel don't ask question and usually will replace your CPU.

As long as you stay within the safe limits and know what you are doing you won't kill your CPU. Just don't go pushing the volts stupidly high and make sure that temps aren't going above 85*c for long periods of time and everything will be fine.

thankyou!! and that quick responce...
I LOVE IT!

Don't put the voltage too far above 1.35 and you should be fine.

Intel does give you the option to buy extra warranty that covers overclocking but as said they probably can't really tell whether you overclocked it or not (although they probably assume that anyone with a K series CPU does overclock).

I think Intel has an extra warranty you can buy which covers basically everything except beating the CPU with a hammer.

I haven't read into how you can set it up. CPUs seldom die if you keep temps and voltages in check.

Edit: Yeah, what Feronix said ^

Even with high temperatures modern CPUs will clock themselves back or even shut down completely if it gets to extreme levels to prevent damage.

Putting too many volts through your chip can definitely kill it (overtime) though.

You can even get them from online retailers like Scan, but they don't appear to sell one for the 4790k yet.

They do clock back because my 3930k starts to clock back due to temp's at 5.2ghz because the 1080 rad just will, not cool it enough although it would probably help if I had some better fans on it.

It's a good thing that they do it.
