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
Is it possible for liquid cooling fluid to have this smell? Something like rotten eggs.
