What does void intel CPU warranty ?

[empleat]

I read in intel warranty, that if cpu operates on higher voltage, or clock than base, it voids cpu warranty. Nevertheless, there is no default voltage listed on intel 9600kf page... And i don't know what are stock voltages, is 1.291v max on one core ok, during 100% load ? I read read turning on xmp profile may void your warranty, as it can cause cpu operating on higher voltages. Because VCCIO and VCCSA, i don't know what that is. But it happened to someone, intel didn't endorse warranty, because of that. So i wonder what may void your warranty, hope not disabling c states and p states, thermal monitor and power saving features too.

Intel lists it's warranty terms for CPU's on it's website and you can check there what voids and what doesn't void your warranty.

Slapping an AMD sticker on your case.

yeah, it breaks the warranty, but you can't identify if the chip has been overclocked, unless it's burned.

If your CPU dies they wont be able to tell u used higher voltage if you dont tell them yourself.

On Intel I'd say anything below 1.4 volts is ok, 1.35 is ok for 24/7 use.

But of course look out for temps and adjust them to be as low as the can be while being stable.

You sure about that ? Intel can have something to log voltage etc. on which cpu was running right ? It is 2020. I also asked at the shop i bought it, because they may not have same policy.

a logger in the chip? naah. never heard of it. just as i rarely heard about dead cpus.

Who knows, who knows. But yeah dead cpus are not that common. Still i would rather not void my warranty by some accident. If intel doesn't provide stock voltage, so how one can be sure, to not break warranty. But if you say they can't tell, than it should be fine. Just hope you right. Othewise i have temp monitor and good cooler, so i should be fine.
