IIRC the core issue is that some motherboards loaded EXPO overclocking profile (basically, overclocking parameters for memory that are written on memory stick for "guranteed", "tested" OC performance) and caused overvoltage of CPU. I don't remember if they found whether that's mobo reading profile wrong and burning up CPU or just some RAM sticks coming with too optimistic profile and mobo doing "well, I trust you, here are extra volts". The wild part is that it is AMD tech (Untel has similiar equivalent in XMP), yet it also voids warranty as any other overclock
