Intel Launches CPU Replacement Plan for Overclockers

Author: Cássio Lima Date: January 19, 2012 - 10:23 AM PST Category: CPU More Info: http://click.intel.com/tuningplan/ Overclocking is a technique that enables a given hardware part to operate at a clock frequency above its default frequency, thus increasing its performance. This technique is not recommended by the manufacturers and voids the product’s warranty. Well, the good news for enthusiasts who like to overclock their processors is that Intel has launched a service called the “Performance Tuning Protection Plan.” This plan will provide certain out-of-warranty service offerings in the event of damage caused by overclocking or over-voltaging by the user. By purchasing this plan and meeting the plan’s criteria, the user can receive a one-time replacement processor if the user’s over-voltaging or overclocking causes the original processor to fail. This plan in no way expands, changes or extends the original three year standard warranty and is simply a plan the user may want to purchase for overclocking or over-voltaging. The Performance Tuning Protection Plan covers the following chips: Core i5-2500K: USD 20 (Plan price) Core i7-2600K: USD 25 Core i7-2700K: USD 25 Core i7-3930K: USD 35 Core i7-3960X: USD 35 Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark Article | Comments (0)
