I dropped it. That's not how it is presented in the BIOS. EXPO settings aren't under overclocking, to me they didn't appear scary overclocking thing. In BIOS there is an separate section "Overclocking" and to get there you have to "Accept" or "Decline" some big text about warranty, I never went there to enable EXPO. So I never needed to press "Accept" to void my warranty to toggle on EXPO... EXPO settings just to my eye looks like this: EXPO II turned on, memory frequency 6000 MHz (what is says on the memory), and CPU frequence stays where it was (thus not overclocked). |

It's a technology to overclock memory controller on CPU, not CPU cores themselves. Increase of voltage of memory also needs to be applied to the controller, hence where the problem in article comes from.
But yeah, I can see someone arguing that in court and winning, with AMD only warning about warranty loss in footnotes and mobo vendors not presenting it as such either.
