Yes, and it sucks.
Quote:Intel made those K processor OCable , so there wont be a problem with your warranty , because they make you pay more for the K processors ability to overclock .
There would be no point for them to make an OCable CPU , and pretend they're not aware that you are going to OC it ! damn you kids !
Just stay in the Vcore Limitations stated by Intel (1.35V i guess) but you can go more far , the rest depends on your GUTS ! http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1607718
Nope, still voids the warranty. AMD black edition cpus also have unlocked multipliers for overclocking and amd even developed a tool to assist novice overclockers (amd overdrive) but they still void the warranty if you do it.
Not that that matters since x86 cpus have a failure rate below 0.1%, meaning less than 1 in 1000 cpus ever go bad. In fact I think it might be less than 0.01%.

Someone is probably more likely to be struck by lightning than to ever actually use the warranty provided, it's just there as a show of good faith. If your cpu never breaks than you have no need for it anyways. Also most common forms of damage (broken pins for example) are actually not covered believe it or not. Sacrificing performance to hang onto the warranty is borderline retarded from my perspective.
