Operating a processor outside of specification will likely shorten the life of the processor, and can also void any available processor warranty.[/quote]

Not sure what AMD's exact language is but for normal parts I know its similar to Intel's language. Not sure what the exact wording is for XE or Black Edition CPUs, but I believe they do tacitly condone OC'ing those parts. So ya technically they can't tell whether or not you OC'd or not in most cases but that's only dependent on how honest or dishonest the end-user is in the case of an RMA claim. I personally feel the end-user should assume the risk if they're going to OC, but I understand there are people out there who will abuse warranties and return policies if given the choice.

Wow, I apologize, I had no idea. I guess I should have researched it before posting.
I have overclocked my Core-i7 920 to 3.6GHz but if I ever had problems with the CPU burning up, I would not even think about sending it back to Intel and demand a refund.

No worries, its kinda one of those grey area "don't ask don't tell" topics with both Intel and AMD because they know the enthusiast crowd will always favor the most overclockable chips and that bleeding edge group typically leads the mainstream via forums, irl recommendations, co-workers, PC salespeople etc. That's why you always see them seeding ES chips to sponsored enthusiast/overclockers and sanctioning those LN2 suicide runs etc., its great press and marketing, and its relatively cheap. They know about it, they have employees and such that frequent the same forums we do, they just won't go throwing the warranty terms at you because they probably told not to. Unfortunately it sounds like Intel is looking to cut into some of that overclocking activity with the mainstream Sandy Bridge parts; mistake imo on their part as opening up OC'ing options near the end of the P4's life was a big reason they regained favor with the enthusiast crowd (that and Conroe ofc).
It just bugs me when people clearly abuse the warranties and return policies by either RMA'ing chips they killed while OC'ing, or worst, when people return perfectly good CPUs that simply don't OC to their expectations. Glad to hear you don't though, I'm the same way, I just make sure it works at stock speeds, then I OC and usually lap it which voids warranty for sure.
