Now a message appears to inform us once we want to carry out the process, and for which, we will lose the warrantyHowever, the company itself has spoken out on the impact of yesterday’s news, and that gives us a little more peace of mind. Let’s see what they said.
Can I overclock my AMD?
We already mentioned it yesterday, and AMD knows, on the one hand, that it is a good way to detect user errors and thus not have to pay for the repair, however, it is a double weapon sharp, where many customers have already assured that if this were the case, they could move to the competition.
That is why AMD had to issue a statement that relaxes everyone, in which it explains that, despite the message that we will see on the screen where it is clearly indicated that if we continue and accept the overclock process, we We will lose any possibility of claiming the guarantee, which will not be completely like that, and that possible errors will be covered.
The models concerned are those of Threadripper 7000 series, which would be the only ones to have this fuse. All others, regardless of which model you have, do not come with it, so this news would not matter to you, since AMD would not know if you overclocked its processor or not. Or at least they couldn’t prove it.
This raises some doubts, although it is true that AMD’s message relaxes a little, how true is it? If they included it, it’s for a reason. They want to get rid of the misuse of some users who push the processor to such high levels that they end up damaging it, and we are clear that this type of failure will not be covered under warranty. So why did they do this?
Basically we continue to think like yesterday, they do not want to lose customers and, therefore, they will cover the warranty of any error that a processor has despite enabling the snitch, provided that it was not caused by the overclock, i.e. you can perform the OC, but carefully and without exaggeration. Anything that is not directly an issue of misuse will be covered, although we will really have to see the first cases and whether they have such an open hand or not once we make real use of the warranty , not theoretically.
And you, what do you think of AMD? Is it true that it allows us to modify the speed of its processors? Or will they use it as an excuse for any factory errors the CPU might have? For now, anyway People are on edge, and it’s not good publicity for the brand to start including these snitches, we’ll see if they continue to do so at the future.
