Asus motherboards based on chipset Intel X99, equipped with optimized CPU connector OC Socket (LGA 2011-3 with additional contacts are used), Intel attempted to distance themselves from the problems with warranty calls, because the official did not approve the initiative of board manufacturer in the modification of standard processor socket.
German colleagues now explain that Asus does not consider himself Intel specifications offender , and therefore sees no reason to remove the boards used in its Haswell-E processors with official warranty. According to Asus, the use of additional processor socket contacts is similar to the modification of the processor power supply system or coated with a thin layer of gold contacts - technical requirements for of CPU operation in the socket such modification is not formally penalized. Consequently, Intel does not have serious grounds for refusal to guarantee the support of processors Haswell-E, operating in the Asus motherboards with socket OC Socket. Related Products :
