Warranty When Overclocking!

It's clear now thanks. But how can you tell, if the CPU fails, who has done the overclocking (PCS or PC user)when running overclocked,

If the OC is done incorrectly or is not stable you may get a blue screen. You may get other issues like the starting page telling you that the OC profile failed to load or not able to go into Windows.
From the first page:

BEAR IN MIND THAT IF YOU OVERCLOCK YOUR COMPUTER INCORRECTLY YOUR COMPUTER WILL CRASH, BLUESCREEN OR POSSIBLY BREAK!

As well as rubensolo's comments, if PCS overclock it for you, they do rigorous testing to make sure their OC won't break anything, this is why you can't fast track an OC'd system.

Regarding warranty on overclocking. If you overclock your GPU your warranty will be void.

Save your BIOS as a profile before proceeding so that if anything goes wrong you can return back to your original profile.

So for example, even the slightest OC on Core & Memory Clock on the 17VortexIII/680m will void warranty? i.e 10% OC on Core & Memory whilst leaving the voltage on stock.

In that case does that mean I'll have to wait for warranty to run out before even thinking about OC on the GPU?

All the guides I read involve fiddling with vbios. Im just not going there. I know you can tweak with Afterburner but with dynamic boost being as erratic as it is Id leave it well alone.

My question is regarding Turboboost on the Intel chips. Apparently this is switched off on Clevo units yet any method to bypass this voids warranty so Im told. IS this some grey area PCS or can you set me straight?
