This car can go 100 MPH!!!
(This vehicle is rated for speeds below 15 MPH. The manufacturer is not responsible for the damage caused by high speeds.)
Remind me a bit of the german autobahn: you should go 130 at max but you won't be punished if you go faster... unless you cause an accident, then you get a worse sentence than you would if you went under 130.
@@macks6234 tbh if you cause an accident above 130 you will die so it's alright 😂
That's genuinely how car warranties work. Your car *can* drive at 120mph, but if you run it at 120mph and then run to your dealer, claiming your tires are getting worn out too fast: "get the fuck out" is what you should expect.

Crazy Techy Kinda similar to iOS jailbreaking xD. You can restore your phone before going to Apple and they’ll service it for you no problemo. But go in with a jailbreak and depending on the rep, they’ll deny service
Like, really. A good analogy: this "warranty void" also applies to X570 / Z490 motherboards. You touch a multiplier and a voltage? *Fuck* your motherboard warranty. It's gone. Nobody warranties any overclocking. Nobody.
Intel also designs K-series CPUs. Does that mean Intel needs to warranty those OC-gone-bad fuckups, too? No. What about AMD's? Unlocked multipliers for everyone = everyone can now void their CPU warranty *together*!
Selective outrage, lmao... "but muh RAM!"
OH YOU HAVE BROKEN COMPUTER PHYSICS LOL
@@ikjadoon Actually, Intel offer an overclocking warranty for $20 that covers you even if you blow up your CPU by sending 2V through it. Nice rant though.
Me:*overclock the hell out of every part*
Ram: *if i get banged, you havent any warranty*
Me:*doesnt matter, if you dies i pick my hammer and bang the hell out of you*
the correct answer to the question "did you use xmp?" when talking to customer support for warrenty is now and forever "I don't know what that is.". Sad reality we live in.
You should answer it with the question "what's XMP?", now you're not technically lying.
This right here. Same goes for any other questions they ask about your config. Just say you don't know what that is. You just plugged it in and turned it on.
@@Sophistry0001 I bricked my 1070 trying to overclock it and told EVGA what I did, and the guy was like "well we don't give out instructions on how to use the software, so it's our fault, here's an RMA" lol but after seeing a few things about this I wouldn't say that to Intel.
@@TinBryn whats extreme memory profile? intel: i see.

@@mahmoudsobhy5843 how do you know ?
@@TheNillquest No. That's obviously not a lie (bad practice, sure), but even if it was I'm pretty sure Intel doesn't ever advertise XMP above the rated value of the CPU, since they've recently cracked down on motherboard manufacturers who even allow people to overclock above the CPU spec. I'm sure it's people like you that caused them to do so.

I'm not worried about the warranty. The real question is, does running XMP RAM cause any instability on critical hardware where reliability is vital?
Yes possibly, which is why you shouldn’t run a chip out of spec for mission critical hardware.

@@lawliot Being honest with how time consuming it is, it's not really worth it to do manual OC for RAM.
@@angeltzepesh1 probably why i havent even bothered OC'ing mine, the gains seem marginal at best but some people can see a difference i guess.
@@musek5048 I tried to OC mine, a pair of Corsair LPX 3000Mhz CL15, but after 2 days of errors in memtest i gave up and run them on DOCP settings only. Maybe i could get them better since they are samsung b die, but its not worth it.
@@angeltzepesh1 i have samsung b die as well but i got it because i know its reliable as hell. havent tried pushing it farther than 3200 but my pc is blazing fast already so why the hell would i need it any faster?
@@musek5048 exactly my thoughts, is there really a need for a difference of couple of seconds? same reason why i didnt bother to upgrade my SATA SSD's to PCIE. My current plan is to replace all of my HDD with SSD's, now depends what deals i can get for M.2, otherwise i will stick to SATA on those too.
Also, if you need support from Intel/AMD and you've enabled XMP/DOCP and they want you to send diagnostic data or the like over, be sure to clear the CMOS (or just load factory defaults in BIOS).
"Voltage through your ram"

My binned and delidded 10900K was void before it even got to me.
wrong the Intel 10900k is an unlocked CPU valid to OC.
hopey1809 I think you missed the point of this whole video. Yes, the K series Intel chips are unlocked. The point of this video was to point out that by overclocking any part of the CPU (XMP is essentially overclocking the memory controller on the CPU die), then you are voiding the warranty - especially so if you run the memory higher than the spec sheet for the CPU.
@@StolenJoker84 i know. But the comment pun isn't working like that
@@hopey1809 what pun?
Such a timely video after that issue with Gamers Nexus and NZXT BLD regarding XMP voids warrenty. Thankfully, they sorted that out and NZXT changed their stance on the issue.
This video is perfect timing! i turned on XMP 2 days ago and was wondering why my games kept crashing. looks like you explained why. thank you
What speed was your ram?
Just take out the motherboard's cmos battery and it'd just go to the default settings and then go for the warranty and if they asked just say "What is XMP?"
"seamoss" lol.
Norwegian consumer laws: Product advertises overclocking, therefore warranty must cover overclocking.
It doesn't matter if you use 3200mhz memory with XMP, because a human eye can only see 256gb ssd

This, indeed, was a bit of a surprise recently. After enabling AMD's flavor of xmp the system wouldn't even boot in to the 'bios' anymore, that was greeeeat. In the process I learned way more about memory latency then I would have liked. Took some attempts to get it going. Later a bios update became available, with that updated it did run fine at the default 'xmp' profile.
Looking the qualified vendor list would have prevented this.
I’m just really really glad a good friend of mine warned me of the qvl and the issues that comes with ram and cpu in the board. I hope more people who are new like me who wants to build the pc on their own will see this post.
People Look for the QVL for you board, find RAM that supports both the board and the CPU series
No wonder I already clicked the subscribe button, I can see now you're the brains around here.
I have an off-topic question, tho:
What is the first thing that a hard DISK drive does/looks for when it's started up?
I've seen that hdds usually stay with the head near the spindle/(rotator thing) for a few seconds at startup and then it continues the rest...
Do hdds first look at the file allocation table when started up?
Maybe their cache and start going through the table of directions trying to read the operative system parts
3:15 My brother used to work as a testing engineer at Intel, his job was to test chips under extreme conditions and see how they degraded over time in order to create the specs they should actually be run at. He says they can tell if the CPU has been abused like that. They aren't putting them in a PC and just seeting if they post they have multi million dollar diagnostics machines where they stick the CPU in it shows the signals coming out if it (think an oscilloscope combined with a logic analyzer), they can even test it if it's non functional in a PC. It shows the waveforms of the TTL signals coming out of the chip and according to him they will show degradation (become less square and more distorted) over time if the chip is run outside temperature or voltage specs. And they can pretty much tell what was done to it based on what signals are distorted and in what way. They may or may not go to the bother of actually doing that but if they really want to they can tell.
As a Freshman Electronics engineer the Transient patterns can tell about wear and abuse very easily. BUT CPU manufacturers actually probably get so many RMA's from faulty hardware and from OEM test analysis queued up that I think they don't bother to deeply analyse every CPU to see if any clock boost was done
The real question which no one addressed is:
*”Should you download more ram?”*

You'd think they'd have something in BIOS/UEFI that limits/locks the RAM clock to the CPU memory controller. How hard is it to do that?

Yeah this is like sony supporting custom android roms, then refusing me a hardware fix because I'd installed said custom android rom.
I bear very long grudges.
You and me both-I still swear off Samsung products
if you want a reputable android brand, i think lg is a good way to go. samsung is digging themselves in a ditch rn (plastic note 20, im using a s10+) and sony doesnt know what they are doing with their aspect ratios. oneplus is alright too
@@royisdabest typing this on a oneplus 8. Solid phone, good support and they actually encourage custom roms. It doent void your warranty. The OnePlus 1 got Android 10 the other day through lineage os
All of those phone warranties with custom ROMs have to be able to be reversed. They never supported custom ROMs, they just wouldn't void your warranty as long as you reflashed their firmware before sending back your device. The problem lies in if your phone bricks with a custom rom then you're pretty much screwed.
@@tresnugget wasnt even that, I flashed it back but they could still tell I'd unlocked the bootloader.
On top of refusing to fix the broken power switch they had the cheek to charge me £15 to ship the phone back, I forgot about that part. I'm getting annoyed again.
Yes, if the CPU remembers when it got friendzoned, CPU performance drops significantly.
I did this with my cat and now it's a tiger...
Not recommend
When my PC/Hackintosh wasn't booting, I had to reset the CMOS (which also reset the BIOS), so now I'm in macOS and I forgot to turn on XMP, so my 3600MHz memory is only running at 2133MHz

This is the most useful TechQuickie I've watched in a long time.
AMD not only honored the warranty on my FX 8350 in spite of bent pins even though the RMA page said it would not, but they also sent me a stock cooler even though they said they would not. But I didn't even remember to consider what that processor's spec was for max memory speed.
Bro, at 1:28 I was gonna google my CPU but then I realised it's the same one you showed!! 🤯

0:10 Other than riley's hair, he really doesn't look that different mirrored. I guess he has a really symmetrical face.
In Brazil happened that if you send an email to intel warranty they will deny if you use XMP and say to you send again an email lying to them about XMP and then they will be able to do the warranty and all ads they do it's about overclock cpu and memory to sell this but if you do, you can't receive warranty. wait what?
If you're really worried about running overclocked RAM, just check the maximum voltage of the CPU and buy overclocked memory with an XMP profile that doesn't require more than that voltage to run. That's what I did with my i7-4790K finding DDR3-2133 memory that only required 1.50 voltage.
Not only did I just buy another ram kit, its the exact one they display at 0:12

this is like if apple was like "you can charge our phones but if it breaks we are voiding the warranty" dont advertise it if it isn't covered by warranty thankyou
Imagine putting up with months or even years of random BSoDs and general instability, only to find out the problem was being caused by XMP, since your board isn't good enough to run the RAM at it's rated speed.
Yup..... Intel denied my warranty on a 8700k due to running memory at 3000mhz on a 3400mhz kit.... I said I didn't bump it up but they were able to find out and were spot on...
Riley dude, have you been overclocking your eyes? They look burnt out.
Hopefully the warranty's still in effect.

They probably void the warranty because overclocking the RAM is actually overclocking the CPU, because the memory controller is physically on the CPU and XMP or DOCP draws more voltage through that controller.
I've had 1 Ryzen 3200G burn out from this. It was fine for a Ryzen 1200, two ryzen 5 2600, and a ryzen 7 1700.
Look in the QVL lists of the mainboard and the RAM on the respective websites to check whether or not the RAM speed is supported. For example, Z170 only goes up to 3466 MHz.
A lot of these issues seems to be with people over clocking. If you want more speed just buy something faster by default
Here's how anything can damage your CPU:
1.grab the component
*2.YEET!*
Same goes for phone manufacturers "Look, we made this phone really really waterproof. Oh, what? The waterproofing failed? Well we can't help you with that, we say "don't put in water" in the manual."
Steve tested this the other day, 5x on phone and 5x online, had no issues with xmp warranty and called it a non story.
I've told that "I didn't overclock" lie on two blown CPUs.
I got an ad before the video started with linus in it lol
Very good video, thanks a lot, regards!!
It's like if lambo said their cars can go over 200 mph but most speed limits are way below. If someone were to ignore the speed limit and crash than it would be hard to get Lamborghini to pay the damages just because they advertised their cars could go that fast. It does make some sense. The cpu sets the speed limit and the just because the ram can go faster doesn't mean it should. So it's kinda like checking to make sure your motherboard can use a cpu, make sure your cpu can handle the max speed of the ram
