    won’t you people think of the shareholders!!!!! That would be devastating to their bottom line!

    It’s OK, I’m not planning an upgrade that involves Intel.

    This won’t go down well in the EU or Australia. The consumer watch groups are going to smash them.

    F for Intel users, was thinking of trying Intel. I hope they get back on their feet, we don’t want AMD sitting on their laurel due to lack of competition

    Were ppl expecting physical damage to get reversed by a firmware update ?

    I have i5-13500 and CPU-Z says it uses Raptor Lake, but I also saw some comments saying that it actually uses Alder Lake. Is it true? I bought mine last year and it runs perfectly fine, no problems so far, but I’m very worried after reading all these news 🙁

    I have 14700k and undervolted day 1, any issues? How can I know if I have damage to cpu?

    Good thing that Americans have class actions lawsuits.

    90% sure this is illegal in the EU. They have effectively said they sold you a defective product. Therefore it’s your right to return that product for a full refund. This shit ain’t sliding.

    You know, Intel has been good to me so far, but if my 13700K dies from this I’m going to AMD. I bought mine late last year I think so I’m hoping it’s safe. Undervolted on day 1.

    I can’t wait til the price bottoms out so I can pick one up on the cheap.

    Oof, can’t imagine being an i9 owner right now, knowing your shit won’t last you as long as the previews one, and it isn’t even your fault.

    I was contemplating a 13th gen i7 to replace my 12th gen i5 but I think not now

  14. I’ve never been so glad I kept my old 12700k and didn’t sell it when I upgraded

    So does this only affect the K series that are getting overclocked? As someone who hasn’t had a k since the 2600k I’m a bit lost on what is effected and if it only if you over lock.
