Amd changes the warranty terms of its ryzen processors

In recent days there has been a lot of controversy related to the AMD FAQ, specifically with the section related to the warranty of Ryzen processors, which suggested that it is canceled if you use a different heatsink than the one provided by the company along with the processor..

You can easily use a heatsink designed for the AMD Ryzen platform

The terms stated that AMD would not maintain its processor's warranty if the owners used third-party heatsinks, although after learning of the problem, the company has updated the terms of the warranty.

The new AMD warranty terms state that third-party heatsinks are supported, provided the heatsink is made within AMD's publicly available specifications. In summary, AMD will back up your warranty if your Ryzen processors are cooled using an AM4 socket compatible cooling solution.

This Limited Warranty will be void if the AMD microprocessor that is the subject of this Limited Warranty is used with any heatsink / fan (HSF) that does not support the operation of the AMD processor in accordance with AMD's publicly available specifications. Use of HSF solutions determined by AMD to be incapable of such performance or determined to have contributed to processor failure will void the warranty.

With this, the controversial issue of the guarantee of AMD Ryzen processors is settled, you can easily use your heatsink, as long as it is designed to work with the soket AM4, of course, nobody would think of using a heatsink that was not designed for the platform. It was expected that everything was a mistake or a misunderstanding, now everything is cleared up.
