Does OCing Gigabyte parts void warrenty?

[Cyalume]

I read that if I OC any of my parts, my motherboard (because it is manufactured by Gigabyte), would be voided of its warranty. Is this true?

I don't think so, they can't see that you ever oc'd. Plus your computer will shut down before the heat damages something. When you did a wrong oc and the voltage is too high, it's almost always the cpu that got damaged, not your mobo.

They can't see, and I haven't heard that it does seem void. But of course if you overvlot to much it can fry the SB/NB and they won't cover that. You mean the CPU and ram right?

You may want to take a read of this http://rma.gigabyte.us/DirectRMA/EndUser_Main.asp

It says:

Warranty Exclusions

Products with missing or defaced serial numbers
Products damaged by environmental factors, which include oxidation and/or damages caused by natural disasters
Physical Damages which include, but not limited to, the following:
o Unauthorized modifications
o Misuse, neglect or improper assembly
o Transport damages due to improper packaging or carrier
o Burns resulting from faulty or failed electric power
o Missing/bent pins
(For socket 775 motherboards, CPU socket cover is REQUIRED)
o Cracked components

That could include overclocking - not sure.

Some companies are very picky about what they will and will not RMA. If you're really concerned about it, send them an email or something and ask if they cover overclocked products.
