So, if you killed it by voltage migration, ie OVERVOLTING it... they about 70% of the time know.
So as long as we stay within their electrical and thermal guidelines, they have no way of finding out that we have OCed the processor?
From what I've heard from reps, that would be correct.
Basically, if you go over Intel's limits for voltage, you'll void your warranty. Overclocking, within the strictest sense, can void your warranty if the manufacturer wants to push the issue. However, they seldom do that. As long as you don't feed your Wolfdale over 1.4v, or lap the IHS (duh), I doubt they'd say anything and just swap the chip.
Show me official INTEL documentation that supports this number, otherwise it's just heresy.
If IDontCare's post is even remotely true, then its logical for intel to replace the processor than to spend the extra bucks in generating proof for not honoring their warranty unless there is clearcut evidence staring you in your eyes (lapped IHS for instance)...... Intel's protocol or internal guidelines may expect every RMA processor to be put through such tests, but in practice, if replacing the processors are more economical, then it would be the best course of action wouldn't it?
