I don't see it that way...yes, nitrous invalidates the warranty on the engine if the engine blows up. But if the bumper falls off the car which has nothing to do with putting nitrous in the engine...should the warranty on the bumper be invalid?

My point is, the sensor that is supposed to shut down the CPU if it overheats failed. Which has nothing to do with why the CPU overheated.

The failsafe mechanism should have worked without regard to how the CPU overheated.
