Why would you even overclock a CPU by only 100 MHz if you're worried about voiding the warranty? For most workloads you'd never even notice the difference.

That was a hypothetical and you missed the point, on purpose or otherwise. The point they were making is, would they make an issue out of it even if it clearly didn't have an effect?
