Yes, AMD will know if you've overclocked your Ryzen Threadripper 7000 CPU.

AMD says overclocking blows a hidden fuse on Ryzen Threadripper 7000 to show if you’ve overclocked the chip, but it doesn’t automatically void your CPU’s warranty::AMD explains the hidden fuses behind Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors and how it will handle warranty claims.

    the warranty excludes any damage that results from overclocking/overvolting the processor. However, other unrelated issues could still qualify for warranty repair/replacement

    So they’ll arbitrarily decide what to cover and always have a reason for denying coverage, got it.

      They only have that option if you run the cpu outside of design spec. Rambunctious o/c’ers no longer get a free replacement at AMD’s expense, and helps amd figure out if there’s a problem with cpus if they are failing and are not o/c’d.

        Yeah, I don’t really see much of an issue here. If you get a defective chip back, it’s probably a good data point to know if it was “abused”. Even if it’s just so you can ask more questions, or prioritize problems that show up on non-OC’d chips rather than flat rejecting an RMA.
