I wanna undervolt my i713700kf with an offset of 0.05, but I don't know whether doing so will or will not void my warranty on my CPU. Can anyone help me?
I bought my CPU from amazon.de

Actually, the more pressing question would be: Do you even have a warranty? So many of the processors being sold on Amazon are technically second-hand, even if never used, and the warranty is only valid for the initial owner. To check in your case, start here: https://supporttickets.intel.com/s/warrantyinfo.

Now, to your original question, yes, technically, you could void your warranty by doing so, but undervolting is something that is difficult for Intel to prove ever happened (well, AFAIK).

Hope this helps,

Hi Stealy,


I apologize for the inconvenience this issue might have caused you and for the delay in our response.


Just to add, as a general best practice Intel recommends users adhere to Intel Default Settings on their desktop processors. Intel is not changing the tuning capabilities of existing K sku processors. Users who desire to overclock or utilize higher power delivery settings than recommended can still do so at their own risk as overclocking may void warranty or affect system health (learn more at Overclock Your CPU with Unlocked Intel® Processors - Intel).

If you want a refund go straight to amazon. They refused my refund due to not being able to confirm the purchase. Even though I supplied the receipt.

Contacted amazon to verify the refund and explained the problem. Instant full refund from amazon.

Alot of small claims courts coming for Intel I think
