HI, I recently bought an opteron144 and an8-e motherboard from monarch, and I can't get any overclock over 210mhz bus speed, i tried my CPU, ram ,PSU, with my friends DFI ultra-D and I got up to 315Mhz bus speed without any problems.
SO my problem is that I sent an email to monarch's support department stating my story and they responded with:
"Overclocking is not something that is supported,
and doing so voids your
warranty through both us and the part
manufacturers
Thanks,
Benjamin
Monarch Computer Technical Support"
What can I do? As far as I know, only CPU warranty is void with OCing. Motherboard companies even encourage OCing, and use it as one of their selling points.
Hi, I am quite disappointed in your response, I know that the processor's warranty is void with the overclock, but one of asus's selling points and advertisments(on the box and on their website http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=171&model=455&modelmenu=1) is their NOS automatic overclocking feature, and their precision tweaker feature, I've read throughout the whole manual and warranty information from asus, and there is nothing that states that overclocking will void the warranty of the motherboard. So what can you do to help me? I can tell you what I want, I want to return this board for a new one, or a DFI Ultra-D (I know of course that I will need to pay more for this one)
SO em I infact right about this or i'm just shooting smoke?
Thanks in advance
