      Not in every market. That wouldn’t fly in the EU. They’d only be able to deny warranty claims if they could prove that the overclock is what broke the chip

        Dunno whether it’s uniform all over the EU but in Germany the burden of proof shifts from the manufacturer to the consumer a year after sale, that is, if you want to rely on AMD having to prove that it was the overclock you better break the thing fast.

        Probably not, it was just a way of saying that there is absolutely something wrong with that.
