I'm not sure about this insurance stuff. I reckon if you're pouring volts through under LN2 and something goes wrong you may fry the cpu.
If you're not doing this then I reckon the cpu will just degrade or throttle down and you're left with a "working" CPU that doesn't get replaced.
There are some pretty weasel words in the small print too....I'm not even sure you're covered if the voltage you put through the CPU is outside of VID. If you're Intel of course this is a very good idea:rolleyes:

I bought the plan thanks for posting this. One thing that helped me decide was after I read this question from the faq page LOL.

Q3) Does this mean that Intel is supporting or encouraging overclocking?
A3) No. While we will, under the Plan, replace an eligible processor that fails while running outside of Intel’s specifications, we will not provide any assistance with configuration, data recovery, failure of associated parts, or any other activities or issues associated with the processor or system resulting from overclocking or otherwise running outside of Intel’s published specifications.

Just a little reinsurance IMO. For 35 bucks I fell a little better pushing my 1k$ CPU higher for 24/7 usage.

Think I will be taking this out for my 3930k as well, regardless of whether the 3 year warranty should cover it.
