I didn't know ANY GPU manufacture covered modifying their product to perform and levels it is not intended to safely perform at. Check ATI's web site but I would think that the answer is no. You remove the governor chip from you car and chevy wont warranty your engine when you throw a rod. If a GPU manufacture sells an "Overclocked" version it is because the modified it in house and put it under stress tests to ensure it would not fail under load.jmaster299evga and xfx do both warranty end-user overclocking - through personal experience. :D bfg does too in practice, though i don't know if they mention it on the warranty specifically like the other two.
AMD WILL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND EXAMINATION DISCLOSE IN AMD'S REASONABLE OPINION THAT THE ALLEGED DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION IN THE PRODUCT OR SOFTWARE DOES NOT EXIST OR WAS CAUSED BY CUSTOMER'S OR ANY THIRD PARTY'S MISUSE, NEGLECT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR TESTING, UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO OPEN, ALTER, REPAIR OR MODIFY THE PRODUCT OR SOFTWARE, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND THE RANGE OF THE INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT...ATi WarrantyThey definitely don't warranty overclocking or any kind of mods if they feel like it, apparently. It also mentions early on that the warranty is for ONE year, and only if you register the card within 30 days of purchase. Otherwise you get no warranty. Pretty harsh... someone like HIS probably has a nicer one. edit: HIS doesn't have their own warranty, they just send you to ATi's warranty with the same stipulations..
no thye dont, but whenever i have had a problem with a company that doesnt cover overclocking i just simply said no that i was not overclocking and i haven gotten a replacement card back. Thats happened about 4 times with me and 3 of them were ATI and Sapphire. 9mmSpliffTypo? or you saying you haven't got a replacement card?
