Fucking shameful. Intel refusing RMAs on their known-defective CPUs (**which they kept selling when they knew that they were defective**) and then when people figure out the issues, Intel hides half of the story and tricks consumers into thinking they can just turn down the voltage in their BIOs and solve the problem which is only somewhat prolonged. I understand Intel and AMD are both companies that are financially and legally (as they are publicly traded) incentivized to milk the consumer for as much money as they can, but this is fucking shameful.
GNs reporting has been top notch. These guys actually helping bring light to real issues left and right. Level1Techs too. Glad I bought their coasters.
Ouch this is going to set Intel back quite a bit. Hope this issue doesn’t work it’s way into the next generation of products.
mmm so glad I have AMD right now

Glad to see the clowns spreading rumors about GNs legitimacy over at twitter being swiftly put down.
Thanks Steve
the oxidation was a small batch and was caught early last year. it no smoking gun and not the issue with current chips. but this is gn stretching the true for click baiting the title . classic gn
Thanks Steve.
This needed amplification.
Another nail in Intel’s coffin. Just wish they’d stop nailing from the inside.
Yeah don’t buy 13th and 14th Gen, especially not the used ones.
Hahaha I’m in danger
lol still seeing tons of “tech”tubers still not taking down their asinine videos containing recommendations of 13/14th gen intel cpus, lost what little respect I had of them
