Prototype Project Orthrus - Smallest SLI mATX case (V2)

Yup, I am aware of that. Just found Intel answer to be very stupid.
It's the same blanket "we do not recommend you void the warranty" they have given for years. They have also made chipsets that allow overclocking and CPU SKUs with unlocked multipliers for decades, you just don't get warranty support if you kill it by overvolting or pushing it harder than your cooling can handle.Intel's actual answer said:
The situation is identical with AMD. Ryzen Master even shows you a big warning in red text of " DAMAGES CAUSED BY USE OF YOUR AMD PROCESSOR OUTSIDE OF OFFICIAL AMD SPECIFICATIONS OR OUTSIDE OF FACTORY SETTINGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY AMD PRODUCT WARRANTY" before you can use the software.
Oh man ! That's a shame !
The 700 watt 1u platinum doesn't start being loud until kept at 600W+ for 10+ mins or so.
Yeah, I was really surprised when I was loading just a GTX 1070 and 120W TDP CPU and the fan went berserk after a few minutes. Then it took several minutes for it to slow back down after stopping the load.
Maintaining performance and efficiency was definitely the priority on that unit.

In theory: delidding is easily detected, failures induced due to overvolting could potentially be detected by examining the die.
In practice: I have yet to hear of anyone who has had a warranty claim rejected after sending off a chip due to them overclocking it. There are even cases where people have outright stated they delidded and overclocked a K/X chip and still received a replacement. If you are repeatedly RMAing processors then it would probably not be looked on so leniently.
I have heard of warranty claims rejected due to damage to the top of the IHS (e.g. lapping, using 'liquid metal' TIM) that partially or totally obscured the product codes, so that seems to be the main concern.
tl;dr: Unless there is visible external evidence on the outside of the package, the warranty claim will likely go through.
I know a guy on OC.net that sent wet( from condensation) 5960X to RMA and he got replacement unit. So i dont think that delided CPU would be a problem for RMAing.
Glad they fed traffic back to the site, but those comments... *Cringe* Hopefully they read up on it.
Lot's of uninformed opinions about cooling in there, I think you need to get into the comments and clear that up 
The comments aren't that bad, I think even mainstream users have gotten better in the last few years.
Comments on mainstream sites when the M1 first launched were often completely toxic

so linus already did a review and it's up on floatplane? or am i still dreaming?
edit: not the full review just a teaser in a construction vlog

Still dreaming
love that the guy thought it was from Inwin.
Nice video on Floatplane ; ) Grats on the limelight, you definitely deserve it.
Also out of curiosity what cable did you use for the HDMI passthrough?

Thank you
the light is yet to turn on ... but hopefully it will allow the project to progress and make actual production.I used this HDMI passthrough (its keystone compatible). Although i didn't source it from Aliexpress.

I don't know, but its not on floatplane yet as far as i know. It was only leaked in a "behind the scenes" video.
