Question Intel xmp 6000 Mhz - Does it void the warranty?

[adrifoxbg]

Hello, I have a quick question.
I bought a new Kingston Fury 6000 CL30 DDR5 RAM
My processor is a 13900K, the motherboard is a Z790 DARK HERO
The motherboard can go much higher than these 6000 MHz values
However, the problem is this:
"

Does Use of Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (Intel® XMP) Void the CPU Warranty?​

Altering the frequency and/or voltage outside of Intel specifications may void the processor warranty. Examples: Overclocking and enabling Intel® XMP, which is a type of memory overclocking, and using it beyond the given specifications may void the processor warranty.
"
According to many people 6000 is the best safe frequency, but still over 5600
Is this a reason for Intel to decide that I have violated the warranty terms?
What do you think, is there a risk?

That's the platform that's been riddled with issues.

X.M.P should no void your warranty though, just for good measure before you enable X.M.P , make sure you're on the latest BIOS version for your motherboard and clear the CMOS.

Oxidation problems are on a manufacturing level, no matter what you introduced as a solution, they are a stop gap solution...meaning temporary.

Thanks
I completely agree that the 13th and 14th generation platforms are problematic.
The bad news for me is that from time to time there is a strange smell.
There are no signs of leaked capacitors
I'm really wondering where the problem is now

The Intel spec for the 13900K is DDR5-5600. See link below.

A conversation with Intel regarding an i5-9600K linked below states:-

Hello Wargen,

Thank you for posting on the Intel* Community.

Yes, Intel* XMP is considering overclocking, altering clock frequency or voltage may damage or reduce the useful life of the processor and other system components and may reduce system stability and performance. Product warranties may not apply if the processor is operated beyond its specifications.

You can check this information in our warranty terms and conditions "any Product which has been modified or operated outside of Intel’s publicly available specifications, including where clock frequencies or voltages have been altered, or where the original identification markings have been removed, altered or obliterated. Intel assumes no responsibility that the Product, including if used with altered clock frequencies or voltages, will be fit for any particular purpose and will not cause any damage or injury. "

The Intel® Core™ i5-9600K Processor works with DDR4-2666MHz and that's the speed we recommend you to use.


Conclusion

I take this to mean if Intel needs a reason not to replace a CPU under warranty and they detect damage to the IMC channels consistent with high XMP overclocks, you might have trouble with an RMA.

Running an XMP overclock of 6000MT/s may void Intel's warranty, despite the fact many people run their CPUs faster. If you exceed Intel's published spec for the 13900K of DDR5-5600, the risk becomes yours.

It's a bit like reprogramming the ECU in your car to increase the engine's power output. If it's not a factory approved mod, bang goes your warranty (and your free engine repair) if the manufacturer finds out.

I run high XMP/CPU overclocks on some old systems and stock JEDEC speeds without PBO on newer builds. It's entirely up to you what you do with yours.
