Anti-consumer tactics of having mechanisms to detect when a customer has abused the product they might try to get replaced for free, that they say in this article won't automatically mean the warranty is rejected?

You're free to overclock your computer hardware, but you take the risk on yourself when you do so. It's always been this way. If you want to be covered by warranty, keep it in spec, hit "no" when the warning comes up that enabling this feature can void your warranty.
