So no solution

  1. The solution will be the patch mid-August.

    The patch won’t fix CPUs that have already been damaged. Those need to be RMA’ed.

    The issue can occur in more chips of the entire line-up.

    No general recall, but replacements for affected users.

    So something everyone kinda knew since the 8700k days : Pushing dummy voltage for 5GHz , then at the DIY cost, but now with Pressure from AMD , intel did this from factory

    its going to be fun to see all the new benchmark test and reviews of the “new and improved” neutered 13-14 gens

    there goes the better than 7800x3d in gaming results

    Just waiting for my 13600kf to die so I can refund it through warranty or insurance or whatever and go AMD.

    In all seriousness, no planned recall is going to open them up wide open to lawsuits

  6. I mean the bottom half is fine, no?

    Once it fails, you RMA it. If it doesn’t fail: also good.

    Intel got nothing to blame but themselves

    Relying on the same old 7nm process while pushing voltages and speeds just to compete with AMD

    Giving 0 fucks about consumer hardware/powersupplys with the dishonest advertising of TDP

    Literally asking motherboard vendors to fix their shitty practices and blaming them for it

    If AMD ever fucks up, we have to play video games without a CPU.

    How no one has sued Intel yet is beyond me

    From what I understand the damage that has been done to processors already is irreversible and there has been no statement made about recalling damaged cpus. But there has already been an update in the bios to keep the cpus that are undamaged from running high enough to become damaged at the cost of performance but the update in August is supposed to resolve the problem entirely for the yet to be damaged cpus. I’m just saying intel first blamed motherboard manufacturers and the end user. This whole thing has been a mess from the beginning. Amd it is.

    Damn it, I should have sold that single stock that I have from Intel a week ago.

    Only one solution – don’t buy Intel

  14. TheGreen627

    Bruh, I legit don’t know what to do. I have i5 13600k that I bought at the start of this year :/, can someone please explain to me what I can do or what I will have to do in the near future

    next headline: intel announces that removing all power from systems containing affected CPUs stops crashes; advises users to turn it off and go outside

    I’ve been dealing with issues since building my new system with a 13700k. Tried tons of stuff, thought it was me that did something wrong. I emailed support yesterday to see what they’re going to do. I’m not expecting much.

    I‘m dying, this meme fits so perfect😂

    The computer I bought from a person had the 12th Gen. They were selling it because they wanted the new Gen. mu ha ha ha

    Intel has been dealing with instability issues in their 13th and 14th Gen desktop CPUs . These issues have caused crashes and BSODs for the past two years. Recently, they identified the root cause: elevated operating voltage due to a microcode algorithm. While there’s no full recall, Intel plans to release a microcode patch in mid-August. This patch won’t fix already damaged CPUs, but it aims to prevent further damage in unaffected chips. it’s been quite a rollercoaster for Intel, with some finger-pointing at motherboard manufacturers and end users.

    I feel so lucky. Went with an i5-12700KF for my new “most bang for the buck” build. That’s got plenty of horsepower to not bottleneck my 2060 Super 12GB.

    I undervolted my pc will this help prevent the issue i undervolted itnas soon as I got it

    ***How do you manage to fuck up a sixty five watt chip so badly?***

    They literally have one job which is to *just work like a CPU.* That’s it, that’s all that’s required of them, and apparently even that’s a tall ask nowadays.

    This means: Userb*nchmarks next braindead reviews will be fucking hilarious!

  24. TheLordOfSweg

    Dumb question, but does this affect only the desktop parts or are mobile chips affected too?

    I have a pretty new laptop with an i7 13700H in it and am curious if this is an across the board issue with all high end 13th and 14th gen chips fully or if it’s just desktop the parts.

    People and their shitty headlines. There is a recall for the ones that got damaged, not all. The patch won’t fix those that are already damaged, should prevent future ones.
