I hope you continue providing hardware videos that focus on local AI hardware since 99% of videos regarding PC hardware are all gaming focused. Your past vids have been invaluable.
I've been under-volting my i5 14600K pretty much since day one. After tweaking some motherboard settings like CPU Lite Load, enforcing intel recommended power limits etc. my CPU is running stable at around 1.12v. CPU temperature during a stress testing pretty much never exceeds 70 degrees celsius in summer with this voltage so i'm assuming there shouldn't be any damage as of yet, because at 1.12v, which is really low my system is running stable without any issues. I've upgraded this year from an AM3+ platform, FX 8350 so even if the performance is a bit worse than advertised i don't care because the difference in performance is still unimaginable for me.
I have 2 i9 13th gen that were bought in 2022 and they are both fine. I also have newer builds with i9 13900kS CPUs and they are fine as well. Three of the i9 builds are setup for productivity so they can do all core workloads without thermal throttling. Since this instability issue broke I have also limited the standard i9s to 5.6mhz(56) since that is just above what they use in all core workloads. The "S" versions are set 5.8mhz(58) since I have never seen the use more than 1.35 volts. To limit them I use a feature on my AORUS boards called "Turbo Per Core Limit Control". This allows them to downclock like normal but not exceed the limits I set. For ai work there is no difference in performance over stock and when I do game it is at 4k and the frames are the same as stock. Even though mine are fine I do think that Intel should pull them since unless they know that they not going to be effected they are flawed merchandise.
The only way they can make this right is if they replace everyone's processors once the final microcode update comes out on August. I have zero trust with buying an Intel in the future and it is going to be very hard for them to win back that trust.
I literally just spent $6800 on a prebuilt PC with an NVIDIA RTX 4090 with an intel processor. Like less than 2 hours before I saw those video. I really hope it doesn’t have these sorts of problems.
Key points: - Intel has remained silent since 2022, despite knowing that there is a real problem - oxidation, and now butchered microcode on top of that. - the sheer amount of damaged CPUs is insane. Imagine 1.5 years of sales, and all of these were experiencing at some degree elevated voltages. It is simply not feasible for Intel to do a full recall - Everyone can mess up. AMD did it recently with frying boards and cpus. But what matters the most is how they handled it. AMD solved the issue within 1 month and replaced fried stuff. Intel is f**** around with customers for more than 1.5 bloody years and still no real fix or even in depth explanation of what, how, when and why. They simply tried to ignore the problem until the pressure of the facts became too obvious. Disrespectful, disgusting behavior.
Before this situation "Don't buy Intel" was stupid. After this situation "Don't buy Intel" is the only rational response. The only competition worth considering AMD has now in the CPU space are Qualcomm and Apple.

100% fix for all Intel users is to swap to AMD. thats the one bitter true fact
i have a 7800x3d i hate AMD's agesas they never work right
