200S Boost Limitations and Warranty Disclaimers
- Overclocking Intel processors with the 200S Boost profile will not void the limited processor warranty provided by Intel. All other warranty terms remain unchanged. This profile does not apply to processors overclocked before the profile launch date.
- Overclocking results will vary. The 200S Boost profile does not guarantee that any overclocking frequencies will be achievable or stable or that any level of performance will be achievable.
- Nothing in the Intel® 200S Boost program changes or modifies the performance specifications provided in the product information for any Intel component.
- Intel’s warranty does not cover damage caused to any non-Intel component as a result of overclocking.
- The 200S Boost warranty applies to Intel boxed processors. For boxed processors support, contact Intel support or place of purchase. If your PC was purchased through a system builder or OEM, your warranty and support for that warranty are provided exclusively by the system builder or OEM. Please contact your OEM or reseller for warranty support or with any questions about your warranty.
The 200S Boost profile is an easy way to maximize the performance potential of the Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors (K-SKUs). We hope that new PC enthusiasts will find this feature useful. Your feedback will help Intel guide future decisions on programs like Intel 200S Boost.
