@@bodasactra True, but it's time to move on. I've gotten myself a 2700X Special edition, 5700X3D and got my 5800X3D out of RMA; 5900X still offsite, all other chips I have are either very slow by today's standards, already sold or partially broken (such as bent pins on 5500 or dead memory channel on 3600). My start has been rocky though: bought a 1700 that could only do 3.725 GHz max at insane voltages, so it was effectively a locked chip outside of extreme cooling. Thought "it couldn't be my fault" and literally on the same board another sample did 3.9 GHz easily as well as a 2400G which even did almost 4.1.
It hasn't aged like fine milk, fanboy comment to me. Judging 2024 Intel by taking statements from 2017 when their chips were entirely different and were a mile faster and more consistent than AMD. Just start leaving reasonable comments aleady lol.
@@HeartOfAdel That's exactly the definition of aged like milk. AMD still had their "glued together CPUs" and are now way more stable than Intel CPUs right now. I also included that it was from 2017.
If you ever question a company like AMD or nvidia wondering why they would hold back from releasing the 100% power version of their latest tech, this is why - So they don't end up where Intel did, over-extended and completely out of options to gain performance for a product cycle. You always want to have something extra on reserve, and solid engineering ready for your next move before you make your current move.
Intel's domination coming home to roost, people now expect them to be the expensive and highest performance chip on the market so they have to push the limits. AMD don't have to live up to those standards. Nvidia are doing what Intel should have done, instead of releasing a new chip every year with 5% performance, keep selling old chips that are still good and focus on engineering something with a leap of performance.
There's a myriad of reasons and AMD unironically started it but pulled back as they saw the problems. - Tech Reviewers only slot the CPU, press run on Cinebench Multi and Single. - AMD began doing single core boost (1.45V etc.) for single core benchmarks. - Intel retaliated by adding a single core boost with 11th gen which in some cases went up to 1.6V on Gigabyte motherboards. Nobody really bought 11th gen so it was never talked about. - Then they tacked on eCores to compete with multi-core Cinebench. - Pushing 1.5V+ into the CPU for 1-2 cores to boost has degraded these CPU's - A group of 250 enthusiasts with 13900K, 13900KS, 14900K etc. have had zero problems as day 1 they set an all-core overclock. Data centres undervolting and setting power limits didn't turn off the per-core boost which would still push high voltages even under power limits as 1-2 cores isn't going to hit 125W. Entirely Intels fault ofcourse but the consumer gets mucked over sadly.
@@AbbasDalal1000 apparently AMD had a version planned likely to be called 7950 XTX and it could trade blows with the 4090 in raster, but it'd consume loads of power and all it'd do is just make sure Nvidia released a 4090 Ti and regain the crown so it was pointless and they scrapped the SKU.
Intel taking shortcuts for cost and trying to beat AMD. I have two current AMD CPU/GPU systems, 7800X3D and 7945 mobile, both are 100% stable and never any crashes or lockups.
As someone that owns both a 13900K and a Kia Stinger, I am in 100% agreement with this video. In terms of the 13900K, I am super concerned about degradation now. It was super concerning when Wendell at L1 Tech indicated they essentially noticed issues even at Intel Spec settings. Heavily thinking about switching to the Ryzen 9000 series.
I have a 7700x I got near release back in 2022. I have had zero issues. I do update my bios and I did see boot speeds radically improve over time but it really was stable and snappy from day one.
Am on a 5800X3D and thinking on going for s 9800X3D or 9950X3D. Still got good Performance out of my 5800X3D+7900XT+X570S (4 NVME 2TB SSDs) and great reliability, zero issues with it, so why Update? I run mostly heavily CPU bound games like DCS world, Arma3, Star Citizen, various Race sims like ACC, AMS 2, newly iracing but also develop my photos on my PC. (Recently bailed out of Adobe Lightroom, fuck Adobe and their TOS!) That's why I'm considering the 9950X3D, as I could use the extra cores for my photo development and Star Citizen scales well with above 8 cores from What I've heard, and DCS is really popping off with multicore.
Me being a 10th gen user only thing missing is pcie 4 other than that the cpus were really good and value for money atleast where i am from at the time of purchase
@@ashirtk2442 ikr, im currently using in i5 4th gen, but used my friends i5 10400 pc sometimes and one thing i see often is how snappy and fast the pc is at normal windows tasks, its feels faster than my other friends r7 7835hs laptop in daily tasks and idk why
Ive been looking into building a 10th/11th gen intel pc mostly because ive been wanting to switch back to intel from amd but i dont like the idea of using any of the 12th gen+ cpu's.
More like no ones gonna buy one unless its dirt cheap. But then youll probably have to run it with a hard undervolt underclock so the damn chip doesnt warp.
What do you mean, the chips are already failing at rates of 10-25% already after not even a year, they should recall them. No one is going to buy them unless Intel fixes this except fanboys. At this point you would have to be an uninformed person or just dumb if buying 13/14 gen Intel. Channels like Gamers Nexus have said, they won't recommend anyone buy Intel for the new launch until they address or fix this issue. Except Intel will probably remain quiet so they can save billions in recalls. To me this kills Intel on consumer markets altogether. Sadly it is also destroy their reputation in enterprise right. They better figure it out because their GPU division cannot carry the company if their CPU division fails. Then again we don't know how good the GPUs are going to be perhaps Intel is just about to die. Their silence is alarming. It has gone wide and every tech channel has covered it now in detail. I mean it does reward gen 12 I guess because their resale value is going to climb if Intel cannot fix this or the new launch is effected. Sadly Intel probably won't say or do anything so good luck buying the new CPU.
@@transformerstuff7029 honestly Intel lga 1200 platform is designed poorly with latency and reliability problems. This is not a small thing and blaming motherboard manufacturers or pretending that nothing happening won’t cut it this time. Intel ignored this for months. Damage is done and AMD got good product. This will stay with them for long.
"Mobo makers default settings" "Gamers over clocking too much" "Game devs being lazy" Seems like it's everyone's fault but Intel's for some reason. And they're all avoiding issues with AMD. Hmm....
All it takes is a little googling on the scummy business practices of Intel and Nvidia and one will have plenty of good reasons to never buy from either again :)

@@austinmcbride7139 Yeah that's what I said, like actually understand what you read. They've pushed the cpus from the beginning way too much in order to look great for the benchmarks so they can sell and now the cpus are starting to fail since they can't handle the frequencies that they were set from the factory. The "design" flaw is that the cpus were running at a much higher frequency than they should've. Maybe next time when you read something don't instantly go for the attack.
Intel's 4 cores forever, made me decide to go Amd last upgrade after Sandy Bridge. And Intel's handling so far on this issue, will probably make me go Amd next upgrade again. Get with the program Intel, take care of your customers
Intel has a bigger problem than 13th and 14th gen... Think, who has balls to buy next gen from Intel? Even if Intel comes clear about the problem and promises to fix it by the next gen, people will avoid it like a plague.
I think If Intel didnt compensate their 13 14th gen buyer, those people will not buy 15th 16th 17th gen. No matter what BS intel write in their marketing
If 50% of CPUs are failing one way or another but the other 50% running perfectly fine I would closely look at the production starting even from the silicon provider and its quality.
Its either a bad design that overloads the IO die or its a faulty clean room where they make the IO die. Either way I dont think they can fix this with a bios update.
I think some of it is related to thermal cycling. The boosting behaviour is too aggressive and hitting 100'C back to 30'C thousands of times, over and over will cause micro cracking as the die shrinks.
This! I think there is a problem with the base silicon, the fact only half are affected, that they work fine in the beginning, the inconsistency, it all points to someone "fing up the Tuesday batch" of silicon
Thankfully my 13700k and 12700k havent had any of these issues. Keeping my fingers crossed. Personally I was never going to buy either the 13900k or the 14900k. They seemed like Intel was pushing them out too fast and a bit too far for my taste. I hope for everyones sake they can find a resolution to this.
Well according to the data a 12th gen won't have the issue because it doesn't have the hardware hack that is causing the issues in the 13/14th gen. Your 13th might be problems iirc YesMan worked around it by going back to windows 10/disabling e-cores.
The race to win big on Cinebench benchmarks at the expense of stability and increased degradation has been heating up for some time now. Someone may have posted both videos in the comments of the Level 1 Techs Video yesterday. I eagerly await what Gamers Nexus and Level 1 Techs have up their sleeves, as hinted at in their collaboration follow up video.
I think you missed the point, Intel made a major architecture change to the 13th-14th high end I/O removing the direct to CPU connection. Servers use far less power demanding boards and they are having the same issues. That is the smoking gun Wendell found in the server side data, its the Intel hardware design and not the aggressive retail side power demands. They may have to replace most of these CPUs, retail and commercial.
@@bodasactra they already did this change to 12gen , whitch already some people had issues with lags but no crashes , then with 13/14gen they pushed the architecture too much and now we see a lot of stability issues and degradation ...
@@Pieteros21 What else changed in 13th gen? Faster PCIe, memory controller, etc. Being that the errors vary across the I/O it may be the I/O lag became an issue with faster hardware on the CPU.
@@Pieteros21Never experienced lag on my 12700K. I also debunked the latency thing on this channel because you always have to unpark the cores for the lowest latency.
@@bodasactra Wendell did say it's probably a bit of everything causing issues since the issues are widespread and random. Some pont to IO issues and others point to general degradation.
I'm still running my 14900K with no issue's after reigning in PL1 and PL2. I'm still hanging onto my 12900K also, just in case my 14th gen i9 goes Tango Uniform.
Fun Fact 12900K/KF e.t.c. have been developing issues since the bio's changes to address the 13900/14900K /KF issues. Thankfully its lagg based not full on crashes at this stage.

You are documenting your experience, anyone that hate on videos like that are just crazy. I believe the community still have not realized what you said last year, they are just focusing on the failures, but even when the CPU is "working fine" there is lag as you showed.
Good points. Its like going to the supermarket and scanning and packing your own goceries. A job they used to do but no price drops , just profits for them.
I saw a comment before saying they buy Intel and Nvidia because they always work and stable. Funny how you got the unstable cpus and burning gpu connectors that still persist, none of which happened to amd, at least roght now
TBF, the Ryzen 7000X3D chips had also experienced the CPU core burning/breaking. Good thing I didn't experience that with my 7950X3D and 7800X3D since by the time I got them, BIOS updates had already fixed the issue.
@@cheesyvoid3143 That was a motherboard manufacturer problem, specifically asus (and another one I can't remember right now) overvolting the 7000's soc, not an amd problem.
@@pf100andahalf What I meant is that it still happened. It was still an AMD problem since they still had to provide manufacturers the correct voltage specs to mitigate the issue. Had they communicated with the board manufacturers before release, those affected users wouldn't have had their CPUs explode. Remember, the issue occurred even at the latest BIOS version at that time, and Asus and the other manufacturers had to delete those BIOS versions from their websites, while they coordinated with AMD for a solution.
I have an I9-14900K that is faulty, thought it was the PSU, so replaced that, no luck then the Motherboard, still no luck its the CPU, inconsistant problems that never end Intel seems to not care when you spend nearly $ 1000.00 AUD, it seems not Intel shame on you Best Regards Andrew from downunder
I find it a bit silly how many people comment like this as if a 9th+ gen i7 is a poor man's, poorly performing chip or something. It's a solid CPU, sold my 11th i7 cause I had a 12th gen but the 11th and the 10th gen i7 my brother is still using have zero issues with anything we do. The difference in day to day use between a 9th and 14th gen i7 is none and the difference in gaming with the same video card isn't huge and where it is it's meaningless (they all get 300+ fps).
@@chibonchibon3967 For 50 bucks it's a good CPU - but the 11th gen was a mistake on Intel's part in many ways -- trying to fit a design meant for 10/7nM on 14++nM. Hell, the 10700K was actually faster in several workloads.
Intel's problem isn't the bug itself. All CPU/GPU maker has released a faulty product. The issue is their response. Instead of saying "We're looking into it. This is priority #1. We will fix it, replace your part and make you whole.", they either blamed motherboard manufacturers or went silent hoping people would forget. When AMD's 3D cache was melting chips, AMD fixed the issue in a couple of days and made people whole. Intel needs to do the same.
Wendell's video was certainly interesting. His review of server platforms using conservative power and thermal profiles really eliminates a lot of Intel's gaslighting about overclocking causing degradation. Based on his log reviews, Intel should really just start supplying 12900K CPUs again - 4 errors on 12th gen vs tens of thousands on 13/14 gen is pretty damning.
At the same time even with lowered power, datacenters generally have more data going through practically 24/7 whereas usage from regular users is far lower and less frequent. So not really a great comparison, even if the failure rate is too high.
@@cakenbake844 Well, if you take the numbers "relatively" and compare: 4 failures on 12th Gen. 4 failures on AMD. 1400+ failures on 13th and 14th Gen CPU's. All of them are used 24/7/365. So it is actually decent comparison.
@@jannegrey593 If there's any hardware problems, this becomes far more evident with higher usage patterns. A datacenter pushes through more data within a single week than the average person does in weeks/months time. If it fails after a year of use in a datacenter and it only starts failing for me after 4 years of personal use, that's quite a difference. The same happened with the burning GPU's in New World, these GPU's might have worked fine for years at normal usages, but because of the unoptimized benchmark main menu of that game at launch they failed prematurely. I typically build a new computer every 3-5 years and give away my old PC to family members. So if this CPU fails after 3-5 years of usage it would suck in terms of giving the PC away but not a huge problem for me personally. Not saying it's good that the failure rate is this high, but perspective is important.
@@cakenbake844 Nobody is comparing datacenter errors vs. non-datacenter errors. The implicit comparison is datacenter errors with these CPUs vs. other CPUs in the same timespan, and 50% is absolutely unheard of. That's why the service fees for AMD CPUs are 1/10th of those for Intel CPUs right now. The providers have to factor in how many CPUs they'll have to replace.
All of that is BS or overblown: 1. My 12700K is 67 degrees on cinebench and it has the massive Deepcool Assassin 3 on top of it. 2. Iddles at 8 watts and 150 watts max, i built a music production PC with it because AMD had nothing at the time that matched those perfomance per watt numbers, or thread director. 3. When running Switch emulation e-cores game me more fps or stable fps. Turning off the e-cores make the CPU feel like a slog. 4. Don't extrapolate 13th gen- 14th gen i9 issues to other LGA1700 chips. Just like i don't extrapolate the 7700X (the i9-11900K of Zen 4) to other AM5 chips for now.
No bending here. 1.5 years on a 13900KS at 6Ghz. No contact plate etc. Just stock. 8W at idle and 22-35C at idle depending on ambient is lower than AMD... Incorrect Never had an issue.
@@saricubra2867 The BS you tell yourself, XD maybe some day you will have convinced yourself. There is nothing wrong with the 7700x, and it's especially not a 11900k in essence.
@griffin1366 ah yes idle. Amd cpu also consume the same wattage as Intel when both of them are turned off. Also don't worry I have heard about 13700k randomly showing up errors, the issue isn't about whether you got away lucky with a good chip, it's about when your good chip becomes like any other.
I have a 7900XTX & 7800X3D in my System and my Buddy has the 4090 paired with an 13th gen i9. Only one of us is having fun with his system and its not him😅
@@PAIN-ot4cj also I see you are an intel fanboy, which is fine. Keep in mind that without amd intel would still sell cpus like the 7700K because noone would force them to make better chips.
@@curtis.albrecht.79 you really shouldn't do that. Am5 cpus are just a lot more efficient than these old platform and pricing will probably get really good when zen 5 realeases this summer. Not only that but the ipc beetween 8 and 9 gen is identical and pricing on used intel i7 / I9 is really high compare to what should be their value based on performance
The main question for me is why Intel's QA did not pick up a 50% failure rate for a week's 24/7 testing. Things like that should definitely be caught in the release testing. QA has definitely taken a hit since the Pandemic in the whole tech industry
Ever since the FDIV bug they have had months-long testing rigs doing release testing, not to mention the testing during development. The chips we buy now had their R&D finish well over a year ago. How something like this can slip through, I have no idea...
With all then research I've done, it seems to be a problem solved by using Intel baseline specifications. 'No, the CPU cannot be overclocked safely, yes, it will run at the advertised speed'. So nothing special here, and definitely not different from what to expect with AMD in this regard.
I really appreciate all of your detailed coverage on this topic. When I first experienced my latency issues, I would have believed I had a faulty chip if it weren’t for your videos. I was disappointed to see this is a wide spread issue. But I’m happy to see it’s not just me and I am not crazy. What’s really unfortunate is this was my first big dive into Intel. This was not a good way to have a first flagship experience with Intel. It really left a bad taste in my mouth. I switched back to the 7800X3D and so far my system is a lot better all around. Thank you for the support and advice and keep up the amazing work over here at Tech Yes City!
I work for a hardware and software vendor. It’s all about pushing units to keep the share price up. That’s been the biggest push. QA has fallen off a cliff
In my view, Intel probably already knew that the 13900K/KS & 14900K/KS were already prone to failure early on even before release in their testing labs. They probably said to their engineers "Shh..no one has to know. That's classified information". So, its the consumers that get screwed in the end🤔😱😡
I'm hoping these issues are resolved soon. Bad enough that I worry about my 4090, now it's my 13900k that makes me hesitant to build a new system. I have a 12700k and a 3080Ti waiting for a build, so I'll probably do that one first. At least my 6700k and 1080Ti is still running well. Best to all.
Then Intel needs to do a recall. Before anyone else says it's not that easy, this happens to companies all the time. It might cost them more in the end, but they are fleecing people at this point. Even a discount on current products would be a step in the right direction. If I'm right, it's only affecting 13th and 14th gen I-7 and I-9 parts. Those should at least be priced accordingly to the performance. They don't even need to worry about I-5 and down. So, yes it will cost them, but the longer they let the problem fester, the more it grows. I'm glad I switched to AMD.
@@aerynsunsrustchannel1783 Totally, but it depends on what's being affected the most. If the plain jane I7 and I9 CPUs are fine, then it's just on anything with the K and KF.
From my personal experience, 12th gen has got issues too, i had a i7 12700f with 32 gb 6000 mhz cl30, kingston KC3000 pcie 4.0 boot drive and all the CPU power savings disabled from the bios, windows 11 optimized, with core parking disabled through parkcontrol yet the system felt sluggish. I got weird lag spikes with the mouse, during browsing in pausing youtube videos or closing tabs, after opening a photo from a file with other photos in it, the left and right pointer to go to the next photo would appear after 5 or 6 seconds. I tried windows 10 also and it was a little better but far from perfect. I sold it and never looked back. I have a spare old system with an ivy bridge xeon e3 1230 v2 with 16 gb of ram and i swear it feels way snappier at times.
Alderlake cpu have some circuits Logic moved from to cpu to mb causing lag when moving mouse etc. Look it up. Had I known this I would not be running a 12100 today
Not being a gamer, I tend to live on the budget end of cpus. So what I am really interested in is whether or not these issues extend into the i3 and i5 range of products. That said, this reminds me of back in the early 1990s and the floating point issues that the first Pentium processors had. Shiz happens.
It's mostly (as far as we know) affecting i9's and i7's. Some really crappy i5 might also be affected, but given the numbers and the numbers of failures - it seems that you would need to have extreme potato of an i5 to have this issue. Though personally I would stay away from 13th and 14th gen Intel CPU's at least until we get a FULL explanation.
@@griffin1366 We don't know the exact issue. It could be boosting voltage - but you will find i7's that require as much voltage as i9's - depending on binning.
@@griffin1366 And some 900K's that failed also pulled a bit below 1.4 V. And there are i7's that do pull a bit above 1.4V. Yes, it's much smaller percentage, but it isn't impossible. There is I think on Tom's Hardware the list of CPU's and the spread of how much voltage they pull.
I have a 13700HX 13th Gen no issues, what I've seen people think it's all 13th and 14th Gen processors but mobile isn't affected ... that's what I've gotten out of my research ... I've had no issues.
This looks to be another Nvidia Bumpgate folks. For those that do not remember you won't find any working Nvidia 7xxx and most of the 8xxx cards in the wild, that is because Nvidia used a new kind of solder for the bumps to connect the chips to the board and the chips would fail as the solder melted and crossed pads. Like Intel Nvidia just added downclock patches and tried to make it go away but IIRC they ended up being sued and had to offer refunds or Bumpgate free cards. This is much worse than that as only a handful of models used the bad solder, from the looks of this it's the entire line of 13th and 14th gen chips that are doomed.
It was the 8000 series which had bad packaging, not the bga that nvidia messed up. That's also why it was their fault as the bga likely would have been considered a failure of the board makers. The problem wasn't limited to any select chip, but it tended to impact the smaller 8600 and laptop chips the worst. Famously Apple sued nvidia to get them to cover the cost of repair but then instead of replacing the broken chips on their customers macbooks, they stuck a rubber pad on the back of the chip to hope that would prevent it from falling apart (this unsurprisingly didn't work). I believe the de-clocked 7900 in the ps3 did have some issues with the BGA, but that was a common problem at the time as sony was trying to use the cheapest PCB possible while using still relatively new leadfree solder and a massive chip.
Guess the 11900k I got for cheap was the last decent intel gaming cpu. Super low system latency and 8 strong cores are still more than you need for 99% of games. Even hit the chip lottery and it can hold a stable all core 5.3 oc after an undervolt under heavy gaming loads.

They can’t. Instead they try to mitigate as much as possible the consequences of a bad flawed design. Palliative to make things to get swallowed easier.
Yup seeing people saying they are too broke to "upgrade" their 10th+ gen chip like it's bad, I've had/used extensively 9th 10th 11th and 12th gen i7 chips gave the 9th/2060 to my buddy cause his system was aging and kept being a butt and needing attention to work properly constantly, my brother has a 10th gen with a 2060 super, I had a 11th gen with a 2070 then a couple of years ago I landed a 12th with a 3060 12g. None of them are even close to slow or unresponsive and are all super usable and capable still. If any system with even a 7th gen or newer chip is acting slow it's probably suffering some kind of software malfunction. I have a 1st gen 875k that is still usable for daily use and light to medium gaming it's not as speedy as the newer chips but it still gets the job done except with the apps that need instructions it can't do.
I've never been an actual fanboy but I have long favored Intel as a quality product. But now I'm switching to AMD since my patience with Intel's stagnation has peaked. Not going to wait for Arrow Lake and Intel's shady promises anymore. If Arrow Lake is really going to impress, then we can talk again. I'm also a share holder of both companies. I have waited Intel to bounce back since Coffee Lake and it has not happened. Six years of bad news after bad news with Intel.
Some ways to fix some issues with 13th and 14th gen (13900k/14900k) 1. Limit watt usage to 262 watts in BIOS, gives some wiggle room over 253 watts from clocking down 2. Pin P-Cores to 5.4 or 5.5 ghz (whatever you are comfortable with), in my case I do 5.5 and 4.3 on E-Cores. 3. Turn off Multicore Enhancement in BIOS (otherwise CPU will go over 300 watts at stock) 4. Turn off Intel Speed Shift / Speed Step, both can cause stutters in games, but it will also run your cpu at higher idle wattage of about 50-60 watts 5. Make sure that 2 cores that auto boost to 5.8 go only to 5.4 or 5.5, or this will also cause a spike in voltage and stutter in games 6. Undervolt the CPU. I ran mine at 1.28v V-Core and Load Line Level 6 on Asus motherboard 7. Test stability in AIDA64, and then test stability of ram in TM5 with Extreme777 profile. IF everything is passing in stress tests, run games and watch for any instability, if your games crash, slightly increase your voltage to 1.285 or 1.29 volts. This will take time, but it will stabilize your system. My first 13900k began to lock up with 300 watt CPU limit, so after watching HWInfo temps and wattage, I realized that 262 watts is the sweet spot to give wiggle room over 253 watts it draws most of the time. Also, if your CPU goes over the limit you set, some cores will clock down. With 262 watts and my undervolt, it never clocks down on any core. Best of luck. I also did about an hour long conversation piece on my view of Raptor Lake, AMD CCDs, Infinity Fabric and AMD 9950x that is coming out. It is a combination of my research and experience with older Intel CPUs, Intel 13900k and AMD 7950x, if you are interested, come check it out.
the degradation is because 2 out of the 8 cores get degraded by getting shoved 1.5v by default (which this never happened on previous gens, we still had that boost but not with that high voltage), the solution is to lock all cores to 5.7 (5.6 5.5 etc if 5.7 didnt work) with a permanent voltage of 1.40 or lower this will stop further degradation, to test stability you can realbench 2.56 stress test mode
linus us basically a intel employee now that he gets free cpus from intel, perfectly understandable from a person that auctions his reputation and his name
You can prevent the issues on intel cpu's, framechasers has been telling people this for like 8 months. Amd can be just as unstable. (5950x) Amd is not the good guy, neither is intel. I've had far more issues with amd cpus and ryzen than when i had intel in the past. It irritates me to no end that this kinda brand loyalty exists. Gamers Nexus, and those other big channels and research dont look for a solution, because drama gets them more views...
i cnt forget the came with 11th gen offering less than 10th gen and people bought them and keep buying from them, it was absurd and a sign they had problems in multiple fronts, we just didnt knew what those problems were
Yep, gonna ride my AM4 into the sunset and only then see which company wants to bend me over the least. And then, perhaps upgrade. 5700x3d still can handle pretty good GPUs I can't even afford baby!
Me wondering if I should buy a 5700X3D when my "biggest" games are Armored Core VI and Tekken 8 games suck so bad right now that I'm not even caring anymore🥴
This is not the first time Intel released buggy chips into the market, they have done such several times in the past, most of the issues are constructed around board level management of traffic. Historically the problem is related to traffic moving across the board via memory and IO which causes the system to halt. Historically, its been the controller trip that Intel designed to work with its chips.
Interesting you brought up your fast editing skills - I noticed that you (and tiny tom logan) were releasing videos from the recent show sooner than other channels i watch. It was one of the reasons i subscribed. Good work! 👍
Oced my 7800X3D to 5.3Ghz it's as fast as a 14900K OCed to 6.2Ghz and it only uses 24watts when gaming not the 160watts the 14900K does. I don't care if 14900K is a few % faster in a few games. This thing is amazingly smooth and I've had 0 crashes in the last year. I switched form Intel, I had a 6700K and it randomly crashed all the time and was never ever stable not even when I under clocked it to 4Ghz. I don't know how I would ever go back to Intel.
Last month I got a whole new computer tower and everything inside brand spanking new and near top of the line hardware for most of it. I'm running an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16 core/32 threads CPU. I have not had one blue screen of death yet once. I'm running WIndows 11 Pro Retail. I've been strictly loyal to AMD now with every one of my past CPU's in my computers for 24 years now AMD. AMD has always been the underdog. My cousin used to work for Intel years ago. He was in charge of one of the cleanrooms. He quit, to much stress he said. Intel pays software developers to use it's codes for better benchmark results over AMD. Where AMD is just raw power AMD is it's glory for CPU's now. My loyalty to AMD has paid off.
lol i just bought 12600 yesterday and a 12100 for my parents . i think it should be ok as theyre saying this only affects 13/14 generation. i think we have dodged a bullet. i got ddr4 ram tho , that's supposed to make it even more reliable
@frostmafia1380 I do stormwater numerical modeling so have two of them. One with 2 x3080. The other with 3x3080. They are beasts. You don't want to see the power bill lol
I have had issues with intel 3rd gen 10th gen and 11th gen where they degrade from running at 90c or greater requiring more voltage or lower clocks to run smooth. I have never had issues on 8th/9th gen and have converted to liquid cooling. The truth is that INTEL chips plane and simply run to hot causing degradation leading to this problem. Some chips will have cache issues and others just turn to shit with I/O errors. This is INTEL trying to pump these chips to compete with AMD. I have NEVER had issues with RYZEN cpu's in this way only had the ryzen 3000 chip lose a memory channel but I took a Hot Air Station and low heat slightly reflowed the pins and the memory channel came back (PURE FLUKE)
My 14900k has been perfectly stable after swappping to a new board and ram. Last time I reported I was having stability issues with it. Ever since moving platforms its perfect. I had a z690 hero running 7200cl34 48gb prior. Nor I’m running 32gb 6400cl32. Everything updated on latest bios and drivers. All comp stock profiles. Zero crashes or issues running games anymore. I’m shocked and baffled. The z690 hero even downclocking the ram to 6000 still was crashing in cod with 252w pl1/pl2 levels and trying to run intel baseline profiles and more. Nothing made it stable. Wondering if there’s some really really weird issues where the memory controller is failing to cooperate with certain ram kits or maybe there was a board issue ? If anyone else is having these issues try swapping ram and or board.
I will swap my 14900k for a 7950x3d probably although setting PL1/PL2/ICC to 125/253/307 solved my issues with high cpu usage games like FF XV who was crashing constantly and eliminated the rare blue screens so far.
At this point you could wait a month for zen 5. The 8950X is going to match the 7950X3D in gaming and will be way faster in productivity for the same price.
@@exifs I've heared from the CachyOS devs they had two faulty 7950X3Ds in a row, possibly due to the heavy compile jobs they ran on these and the VCache probably didn't like it that much.
I'm really happy I went to AMD from Intel on my last build in December.
You missed the great years of AM4, a platform that offered the best value to performance opportunities ever seen in the history of the industry.
@@bodasactra True, but it's time to move on. I've gotten myself a 2700X Special edition, 5700X3D and got my 5800X3D out of RMA; 5900X still offsite, all other chips I have are either very slow by today's standards, already sold or partially broken (such as bent pins on 5500 or dead memory channel on 3600).
My start has been rocky though: bought a 1700 that could only do 3.725 GHz max at insane voltages, so it was effectively a locked chip outside of extreme cooling. Thought "it couldn't be my fault" and literally on the same board another sample did 3.9 GHz easily as well as a 2400G which even did almost 4.1.
@bodasactra Yeah, I already had a pc then and didn't need go upgrade until last December. I remember being jealous lol

"AMD Inconsistent Performance from a Glued-together CPU" -Intel 2017
This aged like fine milk!
😂
never forget that they now want to copy amd glue, they still use x86 64 thanks to amd, intel is really a joke
Yummy!
considering they had already glued together some pentiums a decade prior
It hasn't aged like fine milk, fanboy comment to me. Judging 2024 Intel by taking statements from 2017 when their chips were entirely different and were a mile faster and more consistent than AMD. Just start leaving reasonable comments aleady lol.
@@HeartOfAdel That's exactly the definition of aged like milk. AMD still had their "glued together CPUs" and are now way more stable than Intel CPUs right now. I also included that it was from 2017.
If you ever question a company like AMD or nvidia wondering why they would hold back from releasing the 100% power version of their latest tech, this is why - So they don't end up where Intel did, over-extended and completely out of options to gain performance for a product cycle. You always want to have something extra on reserve, and solid engineering ready for your next move before you make your current move.
That's why I thought why amd didn't launch a 600 watts 7900xtx
Intel's domination coming home to roost, people now expect them to be the expensive and highest performance chip on the market so they have to push the limits.
AMD don't have to live up to those standards. Nvidia are doing what Intel should have done, instead of releasing a new chip every year with 5% performance, keep selling old chips that are still good and focus on engineering something with a leap of performance.
Actually, that is what Intel did in their IGPUs; they kept using UHD series sh*t while they had Iris XE and Arc.
There's a myriad of reasons and AMD unironically started it but pulled back as they saw the problems.
- Tech Reviewers only slot the CPU, press run on Cinebench Multi and Single.
- AMD began doing single core boost (1.45V etc.) for single core benchmarks.
- Intel retaliated by adding a single core boost with 11th gen which in some cases went up to 1.6V on Gigabyte motherboards. Nobody really bought 11th gen so it was never talked about.
- Then they tacked on eCores to compete with multi-core Cinebench.
- Pushing 1.5V+ into the CPU for 1-2 cores to boost has degraded these CPU's
- A group of 250 enthusiasts with 13900K, 13900KS, 14900K etc. have had zero problems as day 1 they set an all-core overclock. Data centres undervolting and setting power limits didn't turn off the per-core boost which would still push high voltages even under power limits as 1-2 cores isn't going to hit 125W.
Entirely Intels fault ofcourse but the consumer gets mucked over sadly.
@@AbbasDalal1000 apparently AMD had a version planned likely to be called 7950 XTX and it could trade blows with the 4090 in raster, but it'd consume loads of power and all it'd do is just make sure Nvidia released a 4090 Ti and regain the crown so it was pointless and they scrapped the SKU.
Intel CPU failure, Windows and drivers being buggy. Why do we have this kind of problems in 2024??

Intel taking shortcuts for cost and trying to beat AMD. I have two current AMD CPU/GPU systems, 7800X3D and 7945 mobile, both are 100% stable and never any crashes or lockups.
I have 3 older systems. a 3600, 5600 and a 3900x as my main.
Intel stagnation finally catches up to them LoL, years of not innovating just pushing wattage.
As someone that owns both a 13900K and a Kia Stinger, I am in 100% agreement with this video. In terms of the 13900K, I am super concerned about degradation now. It was super concerning when Wendell at L1 Tech indicated they essentially noticed issues even at Intel Spec settings. Heavily thinking about switching to the Ryzen 9000 series.
I have a 7700x I got near release back in 2022. I have had zero issues. I do update my bios and I did see boot speeds radically improve over time but it really was stable and snappy from day one.
Am on a 5800X3D and thinking on going for s 9800X3D or 9950X3D.
Still got good Performance out of my 5800X3D+7900XT+X570S (4 NVME 2TB SSDs) and great reliability, zero issues with it, so why Update?
I run mostly heavily CPU bound games like DCS world, Arma3, Star Citizen, various Race sims like ACC, AMS 2, newly iracing but also develop my photos on my PC.
(Recently bailed out of Adobe Lightroom, fuck Adobe and their TOS!)
That's why I'm considering the 9950X3D, as I could use the extra cores for my photo development and Star Citizen scales well with above 8 cores from What I've heard, and DCS is really popping off with multicore.

Maybe, but probably not. Most people see "i7" and "i9" and are ready to shell out hte big bucks, even for a 12 year old part.
More like no ones gonna buy one unless its dirt cheap. But then youll probably have to run it with a hard undervolt underclock so the damn chip doesnt warp.
What do you mean, the chips are already failing at rates of 10-25% already after not even a year, they should recall them. No one is going to buy them unless Intel fixes this except fanboys. At this point you would have to be an uninformed person or just dumb if buying 13/14 gen Intel. Channels like Gamers Nexus have said, they won't recommend anyone buy Intel for the new launch until they address or fix this issue.
Except Intel will probably remain quiet so they can save billions in recalls. To me this kills Intel on consumer markets altogether. Sadly it is also destroy their reputation in enterprise right. They better figure it out because their GPU division cannot carry the company if their CPU division fails. Then again we don't know how good the GPUs are going to be perhaps Intel is just about to die. Their silence is alarming.
It has gone wide and every tech channel has covered it now in detail. I mean it does reward gen 12 I guess because their resale value is going to climb if Intel cannot fix this or the new launch is effected. Sadly Intel probably won't say or do anything so good luck buying the new CPU.

If 50% of CPUs are failing one way or another but the other 50% running perfectly fine I would closely look at the production starting even from the silicon provider and its quality.
Its either a bad design that overloads the IO die or its a faulty clean room where they make the IO die. Either way I dont think they can fix this with a bios update.
@@geoffreystraw5268 If this would be bad design then 100% of CPUs would have problems. For me, it looks like a production/assembly/materials problem.
I think some of it is related to thermal cycling. The boosting behaviour is too aggressive and hitting 100'C back to 30'C thousands of times, over and over will cause micro cracking as the die shrinks.
@@Berserkism Then all CPUs would be affected and not just 50%. Not to mention that in data centers temps are way lower.

Intel's problem isn't the bug itself. All CPU/GPU maker has released a faulty product. The issue is their response. Instead of saying "We're looking into it. This is priority #1. We will fix it, replace your part and make you whole.", they either blamed motherboard manufacturers or went silent hoping people would forget.
When AMD's 3D cache was melting chips, AMD fixed the issue in a couple of days and made people whole. Intel needs to do the same.
Wendell's video was certainly interesting.
His review of server platforms using conservative power and thermal profiles really eliminates a lot of Intel's gaslighting about overclocking causing degradation.
Based on his log reviews, Intel should really just start supplying 12900K CPUs again - 4 errors on 12th gen vs tens of thousands on 13/14 gen is pretty damning.
At the same time even with lowered power, datacenters generally have more data going through practically 24/7 whereas usage from regular users is far lower and less frequent.
So not really a great comparison, even if the failure rate is too high.
@@cakenbake844 Well, if you take the numbers "relatively" and compare: 4 failures on 12th Gen. 4 failures on AMD. 1400+ failures on 13th and 14th Gen CPU's. All of them are used 24/7/365. So it is actually decent comparison.
@@jannegrey593 If there's any hardware problems, this becomes far more evident with higher usage patterns. A datacenter pushes through more data within a single week than the average person does in weeks/months time.
If it fails after a year of use in a datacenter and it only starts failing for me after 4 years of personal use, that's quite a difference.
The same happened with the burning GPU's in New World, these GPU's might have worked fine for years at normal usages, but because of the unoptimized benchmark main menu of that game at launch they failed prematurely.
I typically build a new computer every 3-5 years and give away my old PC to family members. So if this CPU fails after 3-5 years of usage it would suck in terms of giving the PC away but not a huge problem for me personally.
Not saying it's good that the failure rate is this high, but perspective is important.
@@cakenbake844 Nobody is comparing datacenter errors vs. non-datacenter errors. The implicit comparison is datacenter errors with these CPUs vs. other CPUs in the same timespan, and 50% is absolutely unheard of. That's why the service fees for AMD CPUs are 1/10th of those for Intel CPUs right now. The providers have to factor in how many CPUs they'll have to replace.
Problems with Intel LGA 1700 socket desktop CPUs -
1. cpu bending in socket, causing thermal problems
2. extreme power consumption & thermals at stock config causing stability & longevity problems
3. e-cores significantly reduce gaming performance
4. sub-optimal I/O hub implementation
All of that is BS or overblown:
1. My 12700K is 67 degrees on cinebench and it has the massive Deepcool Assassin 3 on top of it.
2. Iddles at 8 watts and 150 watts max, i built a music production PC with it because AMD had nothing at the time that matched those perfomance per watt numbers, or thread director.
3. When running Switch emulation e-cores game me more fps or stable fps. Turning off the e-cores make the CPU feel like a slog.
4. Don't extrapolate 13th gen- 14th gen i9 issues to other LGA1700 chips.
Just like i don't extrapolate the 7700X (the i9-11900K of Zen 4) to other AM5 chips for now.
No bending here. 1.5 years on a 13900KS at 6Ghz. No contact plate etc. Just stock.

The main question for me is why Intel's QA did not pick up a 50% failure rate for a week's 24/7 testing. Things like that should definitely be caught in the release testing.
QA has definitely taken a hit since the Pandemic in the whole tech industry
Intel is hoping that the problem just goes away but obviously it's not.
Ever since the FDIV bug they have had months-long testing rigs doing release testing, not to mention the testing during development. The chips we buy now had their R&D finish well over a year ago. How something like this can slip through, I have no idea...
With all then research I've done, it seems to be a problem solved by using Intel baseline specifications. 'No, the CPU cannot be overclocked safely, yes, it will run at the advertised speed'. So nothing special here, and definitely not different from what to expect with AMD in this regard.
I really appreciate all of your detailed coverage on this topic. When I first experienced my latency issues, I would have believed I had a faulty chip if it weren’t for your videos. I was disappointed to see this is a wide spread issue. But I’m happy to see it’s not just me and I am not crazy. What’s really unfortunate is this was my first big dive into Intel. This was not a good way to have a first flagship experience with Intel. It really left a bad taste in my mouth. I switched back to the 7800X3D and so far my system is a lot better all around. Thank you for the support and advice and keep up the amazing work over here at Tech Yes City!
0:05 That is a straight ODD take my dude.
You clearly know the tech influencer community takes sponsors from Intel and sell them to their viewers.
I work for a hardware and software vendor. It’s all about pushing units to keep the share price up. That’s been the biggest push. QA has fallen off a cliff
Intel should have come clean about this over a year ago. Instead of trying to hide the problem and blame everyone else.
In my view, Intel probably already knew that the 13900K/KS & 14900K/KS were already prone to failure early on even before release in their testing labs. They probably said to their engineers "Shh..no one has to know. That's classified information". So, its the consumers that get screwed in the end🤔😱😡
You think? Intel and Apple come from the same tree.. make money even if if means the customer gets screwed

I'm hoping these issues are resolved soon. Bad enough that I worry about my 4090, now it's my 13900k that makes me hesitant to build a new system. I have a 12700k and a 3080Ti waiting for a build, so I'll probably do that one first. At least my 6700k and 1080Ti is still running well. Best to all.
Yeah, me too! I have an i9 13900ks and a rtx 3090.
I am considering switching to ryzen for my next upgrade in 5 years.
Then Intel needs to do a recall. Before anyone else says it's not that easy, this happens to companies all the time. It might cost them more in the end, but they are fleecing people at this point. Even a discount on current products would be a step in the right direction. If I'm right, it's only affecting 13th and 14th gen I-7 and I-9 parts. Those should at least be priced accordingly to the performance. They don't even need to worry about I-5 and down. So, yes it will cost them, but the longer they let the problem fester, the more it grows. I'm glad I switched to AMD.
K, ks, and kf varients
@@aerynsunsrustchannel1783 Totally, but it depends on what's being affected the most. If the plain jane I7 and I9 CPUs are fine, then it's just on anything with the K and KF.
It will cost them *less* than losing server markets.
From my personal experience, 12th gen has got issues too, i had a i7 12700f with 32 gb 6000 mhz cl30, kingston KC3000 pcie 4.0 boot drive and all the CPU power savings disabled from the bios, windows 11 optimized, with core parking disabled through parkcontrol yet the system felt sluggish. I got weird lag spikes with the mouse, during browsing in pausing youtube videos or closing tabs, after opening a photo from a file with other photos in it, the left and right pointer to go to the next photo would appear after 5 or 6 seconds. I tried windows 10 also and it was a little better but far from perfect. I sold it and never looked back. I have a spare old system with an ivy bridge xeon e3 1230 v2 with 16 gb of ram and i swear it feels way snappier at times.
Alderlake cpu have some circuits Logic moved from to cpu to mb causing lag when moving mouse etc. Look it up. Had I known this I would not be running a 12100 today
Not being a gamer, I tend to live on the budget end of cpus. So what I am really interested in is whether or not these issues extend into the i3 and i5 range of products.
That said, this reminds me of back in the early 1990s and the floating point issues that the first Pentium processors had. Shiz happens.
It's only the XX900K models as the single-core boost wants 1.5V+
It's mostly (as far as we know) affecting i9's and i7's. Some really crappy i5 might also be affected, but given the numbers and the numbers of failures - it seems that you would need to have extreme potato of an i5 to have this issue.
Though personally I would stay away from 13th and 14th gen Intel CPU's at least until we get a FULL explanation.
@@griffin1366 We don't know the exact issue. It could be boosting voltage - but you will find i7's that require as much voltage as i9's - depending on binning.

There is I think on Tom's Hardware the list of CPU's and the spread of how much voltage they pull.

This looks to be another Nvidia Bumpgate folks. For those that do not remember you won't find any working Nvidia 7xxx and most of the 8xxx cards in the wild, that is because Nvidia used a new kind of solder for the bumps to connect the chips to the board and the chips would fail as the solder melted and crossed pads.
Like Intel Nvidia just added downclock patches and tried to make it go away but IIRC they ended up being sued and had to offer refunds or Bumpgate free cards. This is much worse than that as only a handful of models used the bad solder, from the looks of this it's the entire line of 13th and 14th gen chips that are doomed.
It was the 8000 series which had bad packaging, not the bga that nvidia messed up. That's also why it was their fault as the bga likely would have been considered a failure of the board makers. The problem wasn't limited to any select chip, but it tended to impact the smaller 8600 and laptop chips the worst. Famously Apple sued nvidia to get them to cover the cost of repair but then instead of replacing the broken chips on their customers macbooks, they stuck a rubber pad on the back of the chip to hope that would prevent it from falling apart (this unsurprisingly didn't work). I believe the de-clocked 7900 in the ps3 did have some issues with the BGA, but that was a common problem at the time as sony was trying to use the cheapest PCB possible while using still relatively new leadfree solder and a massive chip.
Guess the 11900k I got for cheap was the last decent intel gaming cpu. Super low system latency and 8 strong cores are still more than you need for 99% of games. Even hit the chip lottery and it can hold a stable all core 5.3 oc after an undervolt under heavy gaming loads.
I remember people saying an 11900k would be a massive bottleneck on some reddit thread and tried to argue back with me when it was a 7800XT or something gpu I remember
@@WayStedYou Dont listen to those idiots they arent real enthusiasts, those are also the same people that tell you to only buy new and bend over and spread 'em to nvidia or else you're a peasant

Datacenter Intel CPUs are not maxed out in power, the 13th and 14th gen are just poorly done, they are failing even at low power.

It's a different architecture and the 12900KS was not running such high clockspeeds and voltages.
The conclusion is …. The Intel’s problem with 13900 / 14900 K cannot be fixed. That’s it. What can Intel do now with it ? Recall thousands of CPUs that were already sold all over the world ? They can’t. Instead they try to mitigate as much as possible the consequences of a bad flawed design. Palliative to make things to get swallowed easier.
probalby you are right , i think month or two and we may get to know whats going on ...
they definitely could do a soft recall, i.e. microcode&firmware update, to force those CPUs to run at lower frequencies.

Yup seeing people saying they are too broke to "upgrade" their 10th+ gen chip like it's bad, I've had/used extensively 9th 10th 11th and 12th gen i7 chips gave the 9th/2060 to my buddy cause his system was aging and kept being a butt and needing attention to work properly constantly, my brother has a 10th gen with a 2060 super, I had a 11th gen with a 2070 then a couple of years ago I landed a 12th with a 3060 12g. None of them are even close to slow or unresponsive and are all super usable and capable still. If any system with even a 7th gen or newer chip is acting slow it's probably suffering some kind of software malfunction. I have a 1st gen 875k that is still usable for daily use and light to medium gaming it's not as speedy as the newer chips but it still gets the job done except with the apps that need instructions it can't do.

i have a 9700k but i am just gonna go amd for my next computer
@@TRaKLLC I have 8700k and probably will move to 9900X or 9950X for my next build.
I've never been an actual fanboy but I have long favored Intel as a quality product. But now I'm switching to AMD since my patience with Intel's stagnation has peaked. Not going to wait for Arrow Lake and Intel's shady promises anymore. If Arrow Lake is really going to impress, then we can talk again. I'm also a share holder of both companies.
I have waited Intel to bounce back since Coffee Lake and it has not happened. Six years of bad news after bad news with Intel.
Some ways to fix some issues with 13th and 14th gen (13900k/14900k)
1. Limit watt usage to 262 watts in BIOS, gives some wiggle room over 253 watts from clocking down
2. Pin P-Cores to 5.4 or 5.5 ghz (whatever you are comfortable with), in my case I do 5.5 and 4.3 on E-Cores.
3. Turn off Multicore Enhancement in BIOS (otherwise CPU will go over 300 watts at stock)
4. Turn off Intel Speed Shift / Speed Step, both can cause stutters in games, but it will also run your cpu at higher idle wattage of about 50-60 watts
5. Make sure that 2 cores that auto boost to 5.8 go only to 5.4 or 5.5, or this will also cause a spike in voltage and stutter in games
6. Undervolt the CPU. I ran mine at 1.28v V-Core and Load Line Level 6 on Asus motherboard
7. Test stability in AIDA64, and then test stability of ram in TM5 with Extreme777 profile.
IF everything is passing in stress tests, run games and watch for any instability, if your games crash, slightly increase your voltage to 1.285 or 1.29 volts.
This will take time, but it will stabilize your system.
My first 13900k began to lock up with 300 watt CPU limit, so after watching HWInfo temps and wattage, I realized that 262 watts is the sweet spot to give wiggle room over 253 watts it draws most of the time. Also, if your CPU goes over the limit you set, some cores will clock down. With 262 watts and my undervolt, it never clocks down on any core.
Best of luck.
I also did about an hour long conversation piece on my view of Raptor Lake, AMD CCDs, Infinity Fabric and AMD 9950x that is coming out. It is a combination of my research and experience with older Intel CPUs, Intel 13900k and AMD 7950x, if you are interested, come check it out.
I think I dodged a bullet by getting a previous year gen-powered notebook a couple of years ago, the 11800h isn't suffering from such issues.
Thanks for the update. I see a class action law suit against Intel coming real soon because of this problem.
Intel: Hot Dogsht Inside! 🤣
the degradation is because 2 out of the 8 cores get degraded by getting shoved 1.5v by default (which this never happened on previous gens, we still had that boost but not with that high voltage), the solution is to lock all cores to 5.7 (5.6 5.5 etc if 5.7 didnt work) with a permanent voltage of 1.40 or lower this will stop further degradation, to test stability you can realbench 2.56 stress test mode

This is not the first time Intel released buggy chips into the market, they have done such several times in the past, most of the issues are constructed around board level management of traffic. Historically the problem is related to traffic moving across the board via memory and IO which causes the system to halt. Historically, its been the controller trip that Intel designed to work with its chips.

Oced my 7800X3D to 5.3Ghz it's as fast as a 14900K OCed to 6.2Ghz and it only uses 24watts when gaming not the 160watts the 14900K does. I don't care if 14900K is a few % faster in a few games.

Some chips will have cache issues and others just turn to shit with I/O errors. This is INTEL trying to pump these chips to compete with AMD. I have NEVER had issues with RYZEN cpu's in this way only had the ryzen 3000 chip lose a memory channel but I took a Hot Air Station and low heat slightly reflowed the pins and the memory channel came back (PURE FLUKE)
i had the 14900k for gaming, i surrender on that... just changed to a 14700k, its ok YET. 7800X3D WAAAAY BETTER OPTION
My 14900k has been perfectly stable after swappping to a new board and ram. Last time I reported I was having stability issues with it. Ever since moving platforms its perfect. I had a z690 hero running 7200cl34 48gb prior. Nor I’m running 32gb 6400cl32. Everything updated on latest bios and drivers. All comp stock profiles. Zero crashes or issues running games anymore. I’m shocked and baffled. The z690 hero even downclocking the ram to 6000 still was crashing in cod with 252w pl1/pl2 levels and trying to run intel baseline profiles and more. Nothing made it stable. Wondering if there’s some really really weird issues where the memory controller is failing to cooperate with certain ram kits or maybe there was a board issue ? If anyone else is having these issues try swapping ram and or board.
If you have to switch boards because the Intel CPU is crashing, you might as well RMA it and switch to AM5.
@@LordApophis100 AMD is dog shit though
@@LordApophis100 These smart arse comments are not helpful mate.
Which brand were these motherboards from?
The answer is given in the video: The CPU should work as intended out of the box in stock settings. No under- or overclocking needed.
Ooo another spicy one let’s goo ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the update Brian.
Well spoken, mate! Today I'm happy that choose a Ryzen over an Intel cpu, no problems with my new build up to now.
I will swap my 14900k for a 7950x3d probably although setting PL1/PL2/ICC to 125/253/307 solved my issues with high cpu usage games like FF XV who was crashing constantly and eliminated the rare blue screens so far.
At this point you could wait a month for zen 5. The 8950X is going to match the 7950X3D in gaming and will be way faster in productivity for the same price.
I highly discourage against buying the 7950x3d. Just buy the 7950x instead.
@@username8644 any reason why?
@@exifs I've heared from the CachyOS devs they had two faulty 7950X3Ds in a row, possibly due to the heavy compile jobs they ran on these and the VCache probably didn't like it that much.
@@exifs I would just avoid any x3d CPU with multiple CCD. If you want more cores then just get the regular chip.
