warranty question

[bryanf445]

now i know through new egg and such you get special warrantys that cover broken parts and such, now if you try to overclock a vid. card wll they cover that under the warranty?

 

[bryanf445]

oh i forgot to say ..will they cover it if you fry it

If the card came with overclocking utilities probably will be covered. However if not it is unlikely that it will as warrenties often state that the product must not have its specifications or performance changed.

Most companies will not cover overclocking damage.

Asus does supply a OC program and heres Asus warranty statement on it "Warranty invalid if damage/dysfunction caused by improper handling/usage, destruction. " Improper Usage=Overclocking.

Remember people, if you fry a part from overclocking, it is your fault. Returning a fried part to a company under warranty is wrong. So don't do it.

I think if your using the dynamic overclocking utilities supplied with graphics cards its covered under warranty because the program only chooses your core clock based on how hot your GPU is running.
