Overclocking voids the warranty? Then why is it a drop down option in the control panel of your software which ships with the units. I'm not trying to start a fight here. But I find that it's ridiculous to put an option to set a frequency higher than 350 with a simple dropdown menu - in your own software - and there be no warning whatsoever - and that BM would deny a warranty claim.

Yes it does. I can't really answer on behalf of the other questions as its not my rules.

I added an overclocking question to the wiki.

Is overclocking allowed?

Users may overclock at their own risk but overclocking WILL invalidate the product warranty.

This is a more official quote if you will, there is a bigger quote but this is the best one I can find with search as it is.

Over Clocking will void your warranty on the unit, please be careful  Cry

That is your usual waffle! There is NO official literature on overclocking voiding the warranty, and your quotes, wiki additions and public forum quotes by a bitmain employee can not be used as binding statements to bitmain. Like I said, waffle as usual!

Add to that, Strato (or anyone) is not obliged in any way to add a warning to their threads regarding any statement as to OC'ing voiding their warranty, if only because even bitmain themselves do not mention that anywhere authoritatively. You, dogie, are a simple dogs-body for bitmain, toothless dog if you want, as your assertions are not worth the digital ink that they are written in (let alone have the force to void a bitmain warranty)!

PS: And stop being off-topic here, if you are so concerned about the warranty warning, go and open a thread in the scam accusation subforum or press your favourite link to report to the moderator.

  X 1,000,000.   Spot on.

So Dogie, is it expected that if somebody who doesn't belong to this forum purchases Bitmain's equipment through their website, they should have to search out 1 quote on an online forum to realize that making use of a built-in feature voids their warranty? Without ANY mention in the software, literature or on the website? Get real...
