GPU Overclocking Any News on Warranty?

mroofie · Jan 28, 2015

Hi

I have heard that if you stay in your current voltage (and oc) you will not void your warranty.

Is there any truth to this anyone ?

Thank you

Overclocking within standard voltage limits doesn't void warranties in most cases. I've OC'd a couple of cards that ended up being RMA'd for other reasons, and my warranty was always upheld.
Intel are the only people that ask for OC warranty protection.

lol Intel

Thanks for the quick reply

(Ima rape my gpu now lol)

At this point, both camps have current and temperature safe guards in their cards, so overclocking is fine. Also, they have no way of knowing you overclocked the card anyway, they can't even tell if you overvolted it.

CPUs are the same. Intel's OC warranty is a joke...

???????????????????????

Do not wilfully damage your card and expect it to replaced with a sparkly new one.

Check your warranty with your supplier.
i think you are misguided if you think you will get away with overvolting, wrecking your card and having a free replacement.

I think this needs A LOT more clarification or people are gonna fry their cards and mistakenly think they can send them back for a new one.

You could always get a better card,
keep the volts down and enjoy the card and its potential second user value before it ends up in the bin.

Already happened en-masse with bitcoin mining and no one batted an eyelash. Overvolted and fried cards were returned and replaced, probably at a massive loss yes but that ship has sailed son.

Eh? Intel's OC plan is a free replacement for those planning on overvolting as far as I know.

In general the warranties seem to say pretty much the same thing. Both standard warranties' condition for warranty replacement (no physical damage) seem the same also.
Am I missing something?

From Intels warranty:
Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the processor beyond its specifications.

From AMD's warranty:
...when properly installed and used, will be free from defects in material and workmanship and will substantially conform to AMD's publicly available specifications.

Well i'll be jiggered.

You can use third party software, break it, send it back and they send you a new one ?

Im not doubting what you are saying im just amazed its possible. That some device couldnt be installed to check what volts have been hit.

They probably could but they weren't prepared for it during that turn of events by and large.

It wouldn't surprise me if they add some software fuses or something to new product lines after the current gen (all of which have seen some degree of mining) though.
