Re: Scan & Intel CPU Warranty Issues

Hello Everyone

I have spoken directly to the Intel rep who luckilly is here in person at Scan today. Firstly Intel WILL NOT void the warranty on the CPU for use of aftermarket air or water cooling, providing the use of such has not directly contributed to the failure, however, they will not take into account any results or temperatures produced whilst aftermarket cooling is in use.

Specifically any readings provided to Intel for warranty purposes MUST have been obtained whilst setup in a system using the supplied heat, sink & fan with the retail CPU.

Hope this clarifies the situation for everyone.
