What's OCUK's policy on returning overclocked CPU's?

Why would you tell them its been overclocked?
Also, Intel do direct warranty replacements in about a week, again they may ask but as long as you answer no there's no way they can tell

If you buy a preoverclocked bundle then yes ocuk will warranty that overclock

To squeeze a bit extra cash when they know everyone that buys a k processor is probably overclocking but they cant prove it

So essentially you are all saying I could put through 2V into my 5960x until it burns... return it... get a replacement... and repeating this for 3 years? I highly doubt it...

No because most people who overclock know what they are doing some what and if they dont they are too scared to overclock and look how to do it. So no one in thier right mind will put over 2 volts into thier cpu hahaha. Unless they are trying to kill it ofc or if your 8pack :eek:
 
You mean this 4790k? I didn't even know it overclocks!

But yeah, I think it was an ex-Newegg employee talking about this, he said there's no way for them to tell it's been overclocked... Not a clue why Intel sell the protection warranty, unless it's there solely for the reason listed above.
 
See this quote :)

These are just guidelines we recommend you follow, if you want to push more voltage through your CPU's then just be aware they could die on you. Your warranty is un-affected and we will honor any CPU's that die, we just won't ask questions as to how you killed them. ;)

Not all CPU's are as fragile as others, we have experimented upto 1.50v Vcore and 1.70v memory and had zero issues with reliability, so it seems some of fine when pushing hard. :)

It would be quite bizzare if the company didn't accept RMA for overclocked items, considering the company is called Overclockers. :)

I would RMA the CPU direct with Intel, will be abit quicker turnaround.
