here they are!!!
Hello Alex, Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Customer Support. I understand that you want to know if by underclocking the processor will void the warranty of it. The processor needs to be running at the default voltage settings provided by the motherboard BIOS, the voltage settings for the Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad processor Q6600 should be from 0.85V to 1.5V as showing on the following website:http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLACR Manually forcing the voltage of the processor to run at a specific value will make it run out of specifications voiding the warranty of the processor. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you need further assistance.

Hello Alex, Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Customer Support. By overclocking or downclocking the processor the warranty will be voided. Keep in mind that the options on the BIOS are provided by the motherboard manufacturer not by us so any change on the BIOS of your third party motherboard making the processor run out of specifications will void the warranty.For more warranty information please visit the following websites:http://support.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-020033.htmhttp://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/05/03/50372_50372.pdf

Hello, Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Customer Support. By forcing the processor to run at a lower speed that the one it was designed to run the processor will be running out of specification so we cannot guaranty the functionality of the same.This means that the processor might fail at any time or at least shorting the processor life and even damage the motherboard.

Some very OFFICIAL reply that i was expected.and probably all of you out there also expected something similar.so to the point they try to get across is "IF YOU DO ANYTHING OTHER THEN DROPPING IT IN THE MOBO AND LIVE WITH IT,WE WILL LEAVE YOU IN THE COLD AND ROB YOU!"
