Intel offers overclockers chip 'protection', for a price!

[MegaMind]

This is an old news, but a reminder.

CHIPMAKER Intel is offering Sandy Bridge chip overclockers some insurance by replacing burnt-up processors as part of its Performance Tuning Protection Plan (PTPP).

Currently Intel's PTPP supports Core i5-2500K, Core i7-2600K, Core i7-2700K, Core i7-3930K and Core i7-3960X processors. The plan costs an extra $20 for the Core i5 processor and goes up to $35 for the LGA-2011 Core i7-3930K and Core i7-3060X.

Is it worth it? Intel Chips have in built mechanism to shut down CPU when Core temp goes high.
