Meh. So you're in the "Intel should take affirmative action to prevent overclocking" camp. And as mentioned the response to that is that they've tried that (on multiple occasions, using multiple techniques) and people freaked out about that too. They can't win, I guess.

Absolutely not. There are two opinions that I hold that are relevant here:

- If I buy parts that are certified to work together, and I use them according to their respective manuals, they should work as specified.

- If I desire to manually change or customise something, I should be able to modify whatever I'd like.

- As soon as my changes go outside the certified range, I'm liable myself. But as long as I'm within of the certified range, warranty should still apply and the product should continue working as specified.
