Um whaaat? So basically, if you use any other cooler than the cooler delivered with your AMD processor, you just lost your warranty. The limited warranty shall be null and void if the AMD processor which is the subject of the limited warranty is used with any heatsink/fan other than the one provided within the PIB. Is the warranty for my AMD Processor-in-a-Box (PIB) still valid if I use a different heatsink/fan (HSF) other than the one provided in the PIB? Don’t believe me? Hey man, check it yourself

Where is that information based on? Well, a thread at explains some things about your warranty and your AMD Processor-in-a-Box (PIB), and yeah it's specifically mentioned there.

Basically, some guy states that if you use a cooler other than the stock AMD cooler, you forfeit your warranty on the processor.Īt first, I was like, nah that cannot be for real as if there is one company promoting tweaking, overclocking and doing all kinds of cooling amdness (see what I did there?) with their processors, it is AMD. He noticed that on a thread on Reddit there is a discussion going.

Okay, so here’s the story, I got a message from one of our forum regulars.
