With the VCCIO and VCCSA restriction on 12th Gen non-K processors, there shouldn't be a way to damage the IMC with XMP, right?

That's good to know, thanks! Running at XMP 3200 shouldn't void warranty on CPU either, right? Since 12400 is rated to run at 3200.

 

Correct.

Well, according to Intel's fine print, if you ENABLE XMP. that already voids the warranty.

 

Gamers Nexus 'Tech Jesus' went "under cover" on this XMP / warranty topic a few years ago.

Basically, even Intel staffs don't really care.

 

And I can confirm that, what 'Tech Jesus' reported with first-hand experience.

  • My Intel i7-6800K died, and I started an RMA with Intel.
  • Intel rep asked me if I enabled XMP - I said yes.
  • They said XMP voids warranty...but let me check with a supervisor.
  • Uhhh....OK we will refund you since CPU is discontinued, and we won't have an ETA when we will have a replacement for you.
  • Send us back the CPU, and copy of your invoice/receipt...

Just want to confirm the above. Planning to buy 12400 and enable XMP just to 3200.

You're not going to damage anything with DDR4-3200 -- or even DDR4-3600.

VCCIO and VCCSA can run at stock with that frequency.

For anyone interested, with the advent of processors that can handle high peed RAM, it seems intel has changed their tune on XMP.
