I have had this thought if using X.M.P on my HyperX beast breaks warranty?
My mobo is MSI z87-g45
Cpu is intel core i7 4770k
And ram is Kingston HyperX Beast 2400MHz - only go to 2400MHz if i use the XMP profile. But will that break warranty?.

Ty in advance - Nick

No . It will be still fine for your cpu. It voids your CPU warranty technically unless you have Intel Performance Tuning Protection Plan which is specifically for K cpus.
XMP does count for overclocking. but if you deny the information you did to Intel, they won't know but anyone can infer you overclocked it but no proof. It pretty hard to kill a CPU nowadays with the protection they have.

hi even if it did supposedly void your warranty which I doubt it does because if the xmp profiles are there they are there to be used
there is no way in the case of an return that they will know unless you tell them

Hope so, as far as i can see on kingston pages it dosen't say it breaks warranty, but is it bad for memory like mine to run 1.65Volts?.
