Unfortunately its an issue that currently effects just about every 13th and 14th gen desktop cpu thats 65w and above. Basically its a manufacturing defect, and there isn't really any getting around it. Your cpu may encounter an issue, or it may not, its currently kind of a roll of the dice.Do 13th and 14th gen cpus go bad only if you overclock?
Is this issue affecting mainly gamers and those who constantly have their cpu running at max?
What about average home users who have a modest cpu load most of the time?

That is not true. Some 13th and 14th Gen CPUs that used to be 100% stable six months ago are no longer stable. Any CPU that has this issue needs to be replaced.Your CPU will probably last at least 10 years.
Many modern games at times can put a significant load on the CPU and make this instability problem obvious. If you do not play games and if you do not run your CPU at full load then it might take a lot longer before you start seeing random blue screens.Is this issue affecting mainly gamers

It is not just an oxidation issue. The excess voltage being applied at default settings is likely the real problem. Will have to wait until the August microcode update is released to see what Intel's fix is going to be.the oxidation issue
Once a CPU has degraded, it needs to be replaced.and those that do are not "dead".
