GM trying to keep you from modding your vehicle

Burbman...a good analogy, but take it a bit farther to where this topic on this
forum is at...

Sure the diagnostics is similar to a vehicle...the difference is in that the
tools require a deeper level than API's

Now try to over clock your computer by 150% or 200% that the gamer crowd does

Then when it burns up...try to convince your computer OEM that they have to
provide warranty...

That you knew over clocking (tuner for those here) does raise the heat significantly
and that you did buy an after market water cooling heat rejection system.

That you followed the instructions from that water cooling system's manual to
the letter. Might even say you added another fan with higher RPMs and higher
FPS/CFM

That, that all should tell the OEM that it was 'their' computer's fault and that
they should provide warranty...

Ditto if one or more of the bios/PROMs popped just like a fire cracker
when the new software was installed (been there...done that...but did
NOT claim warranty)
