Overclocks are explicitly not covered by warranty.
Yes, Intel and AMD and mobo vendors all say overclocks "may" void warranty and in general they have honored warranties for overclocked hardware, but the official and legal position is that overclocking is not covered by warranty.
>It just doesn't fit the facts to say that you shouldn't expect 5400 Mhz ram to work at 5400 Mhz
You can certainly try RMAing the RAM with the RAM vendor since they sold it for whatever frequency they marketed it at. But as far as Intel and the mobo vendor would be concerned, an overclock is beyond the purview of their warranties.
- Mathnerd314 2y agoIt would certainly be interesting to see if Intel can get sued for their "don't ask, don't tell" policy, but practically I view warranties as a joke anyway. What I meant was really stuff like Amazon's 30-day return policy. Those are no questions asked and 30 days is plenty of time to see if overclocking works.
