If a processor is "marketed" for its overclocking features, then buyers should be able to overclock (within reason) without voiding the warranty. But what's "within reason"? I think to be fair and to protect both the maker and the consumer, the overclocking limits/specs should be published too. And if a user pushes beyond those specs, then and only then should voiding the warranty be an issue.
If the processor is not marketed as supporting overclocking, then IMO, it is fair to void the warranty if overclocked.
I think if you delid any processor, you automatically take matters into your own hands and accept the fact you have voided the warrant as that is clearly an unauthorized modification.
