Performance Tuning Protection Plan by Intel - Overclock Protection

It is about time that Intel did something like this.  For the longest time overclockers had to hide the fact they were abusing processors just so that they can use the 3 year warranty in hopes of getting their processor replaced.  This is of a special concern when dealing with special $1000 dollar processors that come with unlocked multipliers and insane levels of performance. 

Why spend that much money if you're not going to push them?

The Performance Tuning Protection Plan being offered by Intel is a chance for you to experiment with the overclocking features of your processor without the worries of what will happen if you push the procesor too far. The Plan allows you a single processor replacement, hassle-free, from our customer support. This is in addtion to your standard 3 year warranty. In other words, if it fails under normal usage, we will replace it under the standard warranty; if it fails while running outside of Intel's specifications, we will replace it under the Performance Tuning Protection Plan.

So what we are saying is this: Go ahead and push it, we've got your back.

The way this works is that you buy an enhanced warranty based on your processor type and if the processor fails while you are overclocking Intel will provide a one-time replacement, no questions asked.
