    Should have switched to AMD one replacement ago.

    With all the issues going on, I would just not use it at all until the Intel microcode update is released and available in an update on your motherboard.

    At this point it would’ve been cheaper to restart and switch to AMD lmao

  4. a bit less than when you receive your 4th replacement

    may I ask which kind of info you have to provide to have an RMA? I am starting to see issues, and like you I have a boxed CPU (not from a prebuilt)

  6. GetHimBob

    Can you describe the issues you experienced? I want to know what to look out for

  7. Why do people keep buying these?? I am so confused lol if they are that shit wouldnt it be smarter to rock something else till intel fixes their shit?

    Just use 99% max processor state in Windows, that will disable turbo mode

    Switch to AMD and sell your intel stuff. 😁

    At least you got a replacement. I’ve been dealing with customer support for 16 days now tryin to get mine.

    if you are on 3 then im going with user error. so you will probably kill that too.

  12. I don’t think you’re learning and just putting yourself in more stress. Go get your money back and get another cpu

    Is this an i9 thing? I went with a 13th i7 when I built my latest. The i9 had known heat issues so I avoided

    Trash. After the second replacement you should have got an AMD…leopards ate my face?

    Oh lord, wonder how many they are burning through on RMAs right now.

    I think the most frustrating thing is, even if you decide to get a refund for the CPU, what do you do with the motherboard…

    Just wait for the microcode patch to put it in eh.

    I would honestly downvolt it and disable turbo, so it shouldn’t die, not even after the warranty period. If their statement is right, then disabling turbo shouldn’t push it over the edge in any way.
