Yes, AMD will know if you've overclocked your Ryzen Threadripper 7000 CPU.

    A lot of people in the comments seem to not understand that overclocking IS running the hardware outside the specs, unless that hardware was specifically meant to do that.

    It’s exactly like overclocking GPUs in the late 90’s, for them to fry themself after a month. You went outside ther specs for doing that. Even if I replace the speaker from a telephone, and the keypad stops working a month later, I have voided the warranty already by doing the speaker change as they can’t know if the now not working keypad was done because of you or a failing unit.

      This is false. They have to PROVE that the repair that you made caused the keypad to fail in other to void your warranty, at least in the USA. Most people are misinformed as you are however, and they’ll TELL you that’s the case to make you go away, despite it being illegal.

        The bakery does not know when the bread will mold, but they know it probably won’t start to for a certain number of days. The best by date is that day minus four to seven.
