All I have to say is... HOW RIDICULOUS.
Last I heard, Intel and AMD had a method for determining if you had overclocked your cpu and could deny replacement on those grounds.
How does Dell fit into THAT picture then? When you fry your $6000 Dell within the first 90 days from a blatant overclock are they gonna say "Sorry, that is not covered by your warranty"?
I'm not even brushing the tip of the iceberg with all the issues I have with this nonsense. We research our hardware, methodically test and retest for stability on our systems, and the processor manufacturers frown on us, then let Dell ship anyone with enough cash in their pocket a similarly engineered machine. I wonder how a warranty claim call on one of these machine's to Dell's India-based tech support line goes...
