Intel announced on its website the withdrawal of its plan Performance Tuning Protection Plan (PTPP). In short, this service allowed users to pay an extra $ 20-30 to insure your processors in case of overclocked crash. In the event that a CPU was damaged, and the user had paid for said plan, the company offered a new processor to the affected person, and as expected, this is not profitable for any company, and that is why it indicated that this plan is no longer available from yesterday for new users.
This program not only covered consumer processors, since you could even pay an insurance for Intel Xeon processors with prices of thousands of euros with which to do any crazy thing since if it was damaged, it was replaced by another CPU. The company indicates that it already offers its own safe tools for overclocking, and that, in theory, your protection plan is not being in high demandTherefore, it is not necessary to offer this service, and more so in a time of global silicon shortage, so it is not the place to give away CPUs.
“To the clients of the PTPP,
The Performance Tuning Protection Plan program has been discontinued.As customers overclock with more confidence, we are seeing less demand for Performance Tuning Protection Plans (PTPP).
As a result, Intel will stop offering new PTPP plans as of March 1, 2021.Intel will continue to focus on delivering incredible processors with tuning flexibility and overclocking tools like the Intel Performance Maximizer and Intel XTU.
All existing plans will continue to be honored during the processor’s warranty period.
If you have questions, contact Intel customer service.Note on Intel Xeon W-3175X processor (valued at $ 2,999)
The Intel Xeon W-3175X processor is automatically covered for overclocking, no additional plan or activation code is requiredThanks,
The PTPP team “
