I think a better way to put it is in terms of disclosure rather than prohibition. If you are advised that this is a cranked up out of spec system and if you are advised that this may increase the propensity for BSD, and you wish to proceed, you may. Intel has definitely limited its responsibility to hand hold and if the vendor is solvent, then the customer and the vendor can chat.

Tench, "they'll take their chances with the liquid cooling and the lack of Intel's blessing" Why would you think "they" are taking chances"? Don't we have a whole distribution of dies, and the whole binning process is based on test and sort? If a mass manufacturer feels economically unreasonable to bin to finer specifications and at significantly lower die temperatures, why would you think that somebody else cannot do this? I disagree with the stance of "they" taking chances. BTW, aren't we all taking chances with 1.2nm oxides and electromigration dangers, multiplied by billions (of transistors) anyway? - Ali
