What's that cat looking case you guys have there? is there a video for it?

2 cents on this though: most of these reps have a certain "allowance" on amount/percentage of refunds they can give per agent/team/contact center - if you don't get what you want from a rep, it most likely means that person has already reached his/her threshold for the month.

I would be interested to know what would happen if you said "yes we did enable xmp" or said "xmp was enabled automatically by the motherboard bios" if they would have cut the call or still offered a replacement. I also find it strange that in this business and the same goes for AMD they do not make sure they got enough parts for replacement/RMA process on processors that are sometimes sold in millions of units. What other business would do this.

A well-known store and hardware reviewer in Brazil (ChipArt) made a video with +175K views about INTEL denying warranty (RMA) for a Intel i3 8100 just because it was running Intel's XMP memory profile @2666Mhz . Intel ARK states it should be 2.400Mhz. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdNzhMeo2bC0YIU.html

You promote lying and turn your vídeo in a tutorial on how to deceive a company policy. You find evidence of this ridiculous policy and your fail to properly criticize Intel on how this is hurting consumers for using their products the advertised way. (You know the people that don’t lie when directly asked about XMP). You instead resort to the lame excuse of “but AMD also don’t cover some things in warranty” (without evidence demonstrating AMD is actively enforcing it as intel does with XMP

I agree!

Maybe we should change the name a bit, one letter at a time, lest retailer/manufacturer watching this video found our man out.

XMP doesn't have subtimings in the profile

@Daily Overclocker On H170, I used XMP to have some start then I undervolted the Ram. So technically it's not XMP :-P But yeah their statement about XMP is ridiculous since you can raise VCCSA at concerning voltage that degrade the IMC without touching any timing

Plausible, indeed

Yeah I got feeling this is a case of one of the higher-ups got abit too nervous. So technically you do engineer a processor around a certain clock speed and maybe this is 2666 MHz. Although Marketing Department can come and say "can you give us a slide of benchmark that gives bigger number please?" and the engineering department will give it for marketing purpose. However, while its 99% sure a stronger memory will not break the processor, probably one of the higher-ups got a little bit too nervous of warranting it in first place (since it may not be officially validated) so that's why the clause got in. Even then, the CS department will just say its not enforceable so as long as the customer does not actually bait them and make clear YES, they will try to honor it as best as possible so its still status quo in the end.

The point is that legally no normal operation of a product can be considered grounds for warranty invalidation unless it involves normal wear and tear. The catch is, normal *features* can be used in such a way that constitutes abuse or misuse, and failures caused by either CAN be grounds for invalidation. Simply because they can't guarantee all configurations, they have to write that into their policy. As long as it seems your use is typical, they have no reason to deny you a replacement, and that's literally the discretion they're afforded in the policy.

@@ArchusKanzaki That's true, but there is one problem with that policy. The moment that engineering gave marketing those numbers, Intel says their CPU can do those numbers. If you void your warranty doing so then it's false advertising. Intel should either fix their official policy, change their marketing to only numbers with XMP disabled, or face legal action for false advertising.

@@arthurmoore9488 .....legal action is stupid. Then what will prevent a similar thing where "Intel market this as overclockable chips, therefore overclock should be covered under warranty too". I would even go as far as say that is harrassment against Intel and just being a dick because as shown in video, most customers does not even face this problem.

Trolling streamers is righteous and wholesome.

Dude! Everytime a streamer says: man, I'm dropping frames like crazy. I'm lagging. The chat says in unison: update drivers, format hard drive.

It depends, the RAM kit I want is like 1.5v (which will destroy AMD chips since I think it’s tied to either SOC or integrated graphics for their APUs, but I’d have to double check that and I’ve got too much insulation on the board to probe it with a meter tonight). Anyways, 1.5v is really way higher than what CPUs can reasonably handle, like that will make the moment controller (and entire CPU for that matter) run way hotter. Like it got pretty intense just cranking it a little while air/water cooling one of my dud R7 chips (the chip used when I want to use 1.65v Vcore on air with thermal shutdown disabled....), and whoa it was getting toasty just from SOC and RAM testing! Intel also has a lot of history burning out and degrading memory controllers (lots of dead 2nd 3rd and 4th gen even non-K locked chips so bad they won’t even boot with the slowest memory sticks available, just toasted and degraded over the years even at slow office PC speeds). So in this case it’s just Intel makes some crappy memory controllers that die regardless, but you can accelerate that with XMP The kit I’ll probably get is like 4400 MHz, most people are getting 4200cl16 on newer CPUs (like 3900x or 9900ks), it’s obviously just because I’m hitting limits on memory cause when my clocks everywhere else on my delided and direct die sub-zero cooled Ryzen 2200g for example are way beyond 3dMark records but I’m still losing because all I have is cheap Hynix kits, haha! I just need 1 benchmarking set (maybe quad channel since I also like Threadripper), but I would not suggest these EXOC sticks for normal builds, but sadly I’ve seen people do it, or try and not realize why 4000+ MHz isn’t letting them boot....

My 13900K was technically DOA. They never asked if I used XMP, but truthfully there was zero difference in stability between XMP on or off; both passed Memtest86+ with flying colors.

@@KingHalbatorix It is the only comment in the thread with any value because he actually got a denied warranty and the solution intel has come up with is to tell business customers not to tell intel support that they were using xmp when making a warranty claim. Steve's video confirmed this exact same fact, if you specifically use the term xmp in a warranty claim, it will be denied. If you avoid that term and describe just the memory speed, the claim won't be denied because the call center workers in india are just reading scripts and the script for a denial is keyed off of the term "xmp". Most call center workers don't know what these terms actually mean.

Yeah I saw his comment. He was from Brazil and he wanted GN to look into this problem.

The problem, it seems, is that Intel never enforced that (as it didn't in Canada, it seems) but they can if they want to, like they did with the Brazilian store. If you want to keep buying Intel and 2666 (or googling what lies you need to tell before starting an RMA), be my guest. I don't buy anything from that particular store, but that's another reason to not buy intel.

they refused RMA cuz the cpu had a memory rated above the 2666Mhz (i think it was 4266) and then the support suggested to omit the system memory specs in order to have RMA, whichs crazy, on the other hand Alfredo heiss (marketing AMD guy in Brazil) estated that AMD doesn't guarantee a cpu using PBO but won't reject RMA of a cpu just because you have it enable

Now that would be hilarious

My cousin deluded upside down, so all the little capacitors on the back went flying off all over the floor. Oh that’s not the good part, here’s where it gets interesting... So he grabbed an old motherboard and removed some of its caps to put on the CPU (they weren’t even close to the same size or color, but that didn’t stop him from glueing them on there with some gorilla glue). Now I know what you’re thinking, that’s sounds like a very professional job and could totally pass RMA right? Well... while it was drying he was like, you know these really aren’t straight (granted he also had to put them sideways because they were way different sized and he was trying to make them look like they could sort of almost be touching the contact pads), so of course in trying to move them they all were tugging and getting mixed in the lump of glue (which he added more of... fighting fire with fire and excess glue with even more excess glue), and it became this glob of random colored mix-matched components glopped on the back of the chip (which had clearly been delided before, this was actually the second time and he screwed it up then), so this thing was unbelievably bad... It actually got accepted! Granted they sent him one that sucked at overclocking and even had massive graphical artifacts at stock (which he does use for his side monitor for showing MSI afterburner stats), but it was better than nothing. Me I don’t send it back, once it enters my hands it doesn’t matter if it’s 1 MHz overclocked or if I’m running it sub-zero 24/7, once I have tested that it’s not DOA then it’s mine to do as I wish and if it breaks I simply buy another one (so companies should really love me, haha, a repeat customer!). So please don’t do what he did (I felt like punching him for it, but honestly was laughing way too hard on the couch when he showed me the photos of the abomination, haha!). We joke that it’s probably framed on display at some Intel HQ and says “our customers sometimes...” or some joke and they probably just wanted it for a trophy/display enough to give him a half baked return. -------------- Ramble section: I’m really shocked because most hardware I’ve had break on me within spec they were always a pain in the bit and just not worth the trouble (except Toshiba was extremely easy and spent like $48 on over-night shipping and sent me a $250 SSD upgraded for free to top of the line model without any proof the old one was defective or have any way of getting their money back if I lied about it as I still had the old drive and was simply suppose to send it back at my convenience a week later with a pre-paid envelope. Like that’s how it should be! I just thought I’d mention that some companies are awesome, and others like Rosewill when their PSU breaks at 70% rated load and fries that $250 SSD won’t pay for damages and even insist that you pay to send back their defective device, and it wasn’t a one off... I tested another of theirs and it failed at just over 50% rated load...)

Didn't see that one, but that's obviously completely unenforceable. Having the capability doesn't mean it runs it. A car has the capability of being a track car, but that doesn't mean it ever sees a day on the track.

That's a time where you *actually* talk to the manager, any ram you buy at a computer store has XMP nowadays...

I stil think its funny that they would give you a refund if the cpu dies while automatically overclocking if you use *liquid* *nitrogen* instead of peasant water cooling only normies use water cooling instead of *liquid* *nitrogen*.

In 2018 I RMAd a Ryzen with zero issues.

AMD have their sixth sense currently running on Epyc 7702, so it wouldn't work at this point in time. Maybe in few months, when things quiet down a little.

@@ewoonsight3755 Liquid nitrogen cooling is more dangerous for the motherboard than the CPU. Even pouring it directly onto the heatspreader would not kill the cpu (but it would also not cool it sufficiently) due to the Leidenfrost effect. In order to cause harm with ln2 you need to have an object which is either cold enough, so the Leidenfrost effect doesn't happen, or you need to pour it onto cloth or something else which sucks it up. The biggest danger is condensation.

Great, now I'm tapping the screen like a cat watching a bird documentary.

@@Rafael-xu9cn You are correct that XMP is a profile located on RAM modules, but it is also an Intel-developed technology (built in tweaked timings/frequency/voltages RAM profiles). As confirmed by these two Anandtech articles. www.anandtech.com/show/2334/8 www.anandtech.com/show/7364/memory-scaling-on-haswell/2 I think that is what Kepe is referring to. It is an Intel technology (Intel's own extension as it were) that was spearheaded and developed by Intel to be used by RAM with Intel based PCs. And the fact that it is Intel's own XMP developed extended profile standard that voids Intel's warranty is a little strange, I think that is what Kepe is getting at. I can figure out why Intel voids your warranty when using it (i can guess at Intel's reasoning), but I agree with Steve that it should not do so, and using XMP should not void your warranty. But that is up to the individual to decide if they agree with Intel's policy at the end of the day, and whether we as individuals agree with each other or not does not matter. Intel is the one calling the shots, so the call is theirs to make. But it seems quite easy to step around the issue when claiming warranty anyway, so as long as you are aware of that, you can still claim your warranty regardless.

@@or2kr My car will put up with down to 27 mph in 6th gear, and I have a motorcycle in which I have gone into 6th gear at 9 mph. It wasn't happy, but it wasn't stalling either!

what case is that???

1. AMD doesn’t cover XMP profiles that go above the advertised maximum supported RAM frequency of their CPUs either. AMD also showed performance figures with RAM frequencies they don't officially support (3200MHz CL14 for Ryzen 1000/2000 and 3733MHx CL17 for Ryzen 3000). Heck they even included these RAM kits in the review samples they sent to reviewers to use in their reviews. Talking about manipulation. 2. Part of the reason Intel (and AMD) is asking about XMP is to see what type of XMP profile you have you used. You could be using one of those exotic RAM kits with 4133+MHz that also require higher than normal XMP voltage (like 1.45V instead of 1.35V). As you saw Intel doesn't typically enforce their XMP rule with run-of-the-mill 3200MHz kits. But with 4133+Mhz kits they might. 3. Intel asks about XMP use first because using it might actually be the culprit for the failed operation and in such case disabling it could fix the problem. Intel doesn’t have to replace the CPU if it works fine with the advertised supported RAM frequency but not with XMP.

Outrage culture is not stronk these days, people always hate just as much and as often from pretty much since human is a thing. One big difference is the technology allow people intantly outrage abour something across the globe isn't a thing until relitive recently.

Stonks↘️

Fourth, recommending 2666 RAM for a 9900KS? Like, really? Couldn't they recommend at least 3200, like AMD does (which, by the way, it's also bait and switch since they recommended 3600 to everyone and their mother)?

@@morpheas768 For Intel, yes. It makes very little difference what kind of RAM you use for gaming but still feels wrong. Ever since DDR3 came about they only ever really supported one maybe two different specs for an entire generation of RAM and that's kinda pathetic and lazy on their part. Also don't see how a slower ram speed might be the "best" unless it comes with significantly better timings. That's like saying a clock of 3 GHz on your CPU is the "best" as if anything higher is somehow worse. To me this seems like a bean counters idea of pushing their PPTP BS and if they aren't willing to support XMP they should neither advertise nor implement it. I have never heard of overclocked memory being the cause of death for a CPU especially one as recent as 9th gen. If it really is such a widespread issue that it warrants this kind of behavior on Intels part it just goes to show how crappy their latest products really are. Keep in mind I'm not talking about extending warranty to cover crazy RAM-OC by end-users but just covering whatever the RAM and motherboard vendors include in their XMP spec. If it really is such a big issue to secure against or the builtin power distribution is to fragile to handle the increased draw from XMP maybe we should bring back the old northbridge.

This. You can lie to any company about any warranty and get it, doesn't mean it's not a problem that needs to be fixed. Intel advertise their shit with the memory running at 3200mhz, therefore you can run 3200mhz and they have to cover it, period. That denial steve was talking about would be an immediate investigation and very likely noticeable fine for intel from the ACCC if it happened to an Australian due to the false advertising.

@@Nicolas-zo6rg Do you overclock?

@@BraheemIII nope :(

@@Nicolas-zo6rg CPUs can fail really oddly also and you may never know it. I had one that I overclocked then one day the network card stopped working. I figured it was the board, but replacing it didn't fix it. I ended up swapping out the cpu and suddenly it worked. CPUs can really do crazy things with everything they control in a PC.

Nic the older ones (even locked non-k office chips) get memory controllers degraded to the point they no longer work after a while (and DELL uses the cheapest slowest kits of memory possibly on Earth, so it’s not from overclocking). Unfortunately some like 2nd/3rd/4th gen are hitting that problem. The only Intel desktop chip I personally bought was for socket 775 and the thing was DEAD (it was bundled with an old HP board, Im guessing the seller didn’t test the CPU thinking it was probably the boards fault and likely tossed a working board and swapped it with this one instead. Either way, dead CPU and now I’ve got plenty of spare DDR2 sticks in both server and desktop variants...). So the chips do die, like the C2D chips are also not holding up well in terms of just booting at all. AMD chips can also do the same of course (you can already see degradation on even first gen if you pushed them really hard, but I’m not really counting that since what I’m referring to is stock). FX was a freaken tank though, no amount of extreme sub-zero benching could hurt it for a comparison vs Intel durability (I ran my FX for some long’ish term testing of sub-zero overclocks as my daily machine and it did well, like you could run it for years at very high voltage and it was just happily chugging along rock sold stable with it overclocked decently at like -35c at hottest and -60c while watching KZfaq or whatever, like they were very durable and hard to kill from my experience). But everything wears out over time, even the capacitors on the back of the chips will fail at some point. The good news is there is probably something way better by then!

It was the same for me in 2018, just for a 5 1600.
