The short answer is ‘No’.
As the table below shows, all of the main OEM manufacturers support the use of complimentary upgrades for their systems.
Obviously, if an OEM system fails and it has components that are not supplied by the original OEM they may refuse to maintain
it. This is understandable and why KingstonCare was introduced.
KingstonCare is a free service contract that provides a range of services to ensure Kingston memory is always supported no
matter which system it may be installed into. Services such as; advanced RMA, on-site spares and service reimbursement are
available. Please speak to your Kingston sales contact for more information.
In the table below we have selected the four top OEM Vendors and their warranty comments regarding add-on components.
