But this does not void the warranty
AMD has integrated a special fuse into the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors that allows it to know whether the CPU has been overclocked.
It is unclear how exactly it works, but AMD is actually talking about the blowing of this very fuse, that is, about physical changes in the processor. Perhaps this is just a play on words.
One way or another, the other day, when this information initially appeared, thematic resources stated that overclocking the Threadripper 7000 automatically voids their warranty. However, it is not. AMD explained that the owner of the CPU may not count on warranty claims if the processor fails due to overclocking. If the CPU fails for another reason, but overclocking has taken place, the warranty remains valid.
Threadripper 7000 series processors contain a fuse that blows during overclocking. To be clear, blowing this fuse does not void your warranty. Claims that enabling the overclocking/overvolting feature «voids» The warranty on the processor is not true. Per AMD's standard terms of sale, the warranty excludes any damage resulting from overclocking or overvolting the processor. However, other unrelated problems may still qualify for warranty repair/replacement
Actually, this position of AMD is quite logical, since the company itself actively advertised overclocking functions on the WRX90 and TRX50 platforms. Let us remind you that among modern consumer AMD CPUs only the X3D models do not support overclocking.
