With as many people having this problem overtime, it doesn't seem like lottery, just some bad batch's. Speaking of, My batch was X246J840 for anyone who wants to compare :p.

I see both sides of my own argument and will happily contradict myself.... I'm doomed. Well, i went to Microcenter today and bought a 14900k. CPU temps are already 15* lower than the 13900k were at idle. Also... i noticed this on some of the newer bios that i have not seen before. Or maybe i...

Well, i'm not 100% sure on Forum policy for TH here. But i found this forum post on Intels site that started back in sept'23. They recommended Download XTU, Go to advanced and Run Stress test for AVX2, if failed go to bios settings and change SVID to Intel Fail Safe, Run again. I did this...

If you look inside of some Intel Forums, One of the "reps" asked them to install the XTU and go to advanced view, Stress Test, and run it for AVX2. It appears to be something wrong with the AVX/AVX2 side of things. AVX ran for about 2 minutes of the 5 before it failed. AVX2 failed immediately...

The problem with AMD is the same, board manufacturers setting no limit out of the box. I buy the higher end boards for more consistent and better vrms and chipsets. Not because i want to push the chip past the stock performance. My 1700x was alright - Change anything and it was stuck in that...

I both agree and disagree with this. 1) Intel should be holding the board partners accountable. Though it is a free market. 2) If you don't want a board with these features we as consumers could also buy the lower end boards that don't allow OC's OV's etc. Like another said, Intel does state...

This isnt an intel issue. This is the Board partners overreaching. Even older mobos had a set limit when set to auto, but now the solar system adjacent doesnt even limit the power they force through these chips. I noticed this same crashing more and more on almost all UE5 games due to the cpu...
