According to Tom's Hardware , today we are finding out that AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series processors, codenamed Storm Peak, including Pro and non-Pro SKUs, blow a fuse on the chip when overclocking. That has mistakenly been connected with voiding the warranty. However, that has been debunked by an AMD representative issuing a statement for Tom's Hardware. "Threadripper 7000 Series processors do contain a fuse that is blown when overclocking is enabled. To be clear, blowing this fuse does not void your warranty. Statements that enabling an overclocking/overvolting feature will "void" the processor warranty are not correct. Per AMD's standard Terms of Sale, the warranty excludes any damage that results from overclocking/overvolting the processor. However, other unrelated issues could still qualify for warranty repair/replacement," noted the spokesperson.

Ultimately, overclocking and overvolting by themselves will not cause the owner of AMD's Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series CPU to lose the right to repair and seek AMD's help. Other factors, such as damages induced by overclocking, will be a warranty-voiding factor. These can occur from constant overheating, which significantly lowers the life expectancy of the CPU. A fuse is blown just to indicate to AMD that a user has been overclocking a CPU so the company knows if the users are eligible for a repair/replacement.
