Can you overclokc gfx cards and still have the warrenty? Can they tell as long as you dont flash or volt mod? Is this some manufactures or all?

Cheers
 
most of them state in rma and warantee details that once its been clocked they wont have it back, but i dont see why not as there no physical damage or its been clocked that much that it artifacts :) only ways to tell really
 
Ironically, 99.9 times out of 100, a piece of hardware won't just flat out fail unless you actually do overclock it. People scared of voiding CPU warranties make me laugh though, it's not just going to blow up in your face on it's own.

"I can't overclock it becasue it'll void warranty!"...it's starts up, it runs, there warranty isn't needed, end.

There's no way in hell they can check anyway.

How do you know it's the overclocking which killed it? It could have died anyway.

You usually know when it's your own doing that's killed a component. Like CPU degredation due to high vcore or video card artifacting due to oc'ing the mem too far.

Components will very rarely fail if you run them at spec. as intended.
