Not cool Intel, not cool at all. The way they've (not) been addressing the issue in any way besides the "oops, better luck next time bojo!" is especially risible and it's going to bite them in the ass. I hope mine hasn't been too affected (no BSODs so far, but still) so that when the microcode fix/patch gets released in a couple of weeks I can resume the most performance-intensive tasks.
The processor was probably engineered to start failing as soon as after the warranty as possible, only they overdid it
I don't know, in my experience with my laptop cpu 13980hx it was unstable as fuck out of the box and performed poorly, but with a strong undervolt and limiting PL1 and PL2 to 130 instead of 175W as it was out of the box it's been flawlessly stable and had a massive performance boost, at least in shit like cinebench, in actual game the performance is more or less the same, but I don't go over 80C anymore in games and like I said, it is perfectly stable. Previous to that it would go to 95C and just throttle all the time. But don't worry, if you talk to manufacturers they tell you its perfectly normal for modern CPUs to run hot...
Yea Intel has been pretty 'used car salesman' vibe for me for a while.
Why my last 3 CPU's have been AMDs.
I try to sit squarely on the fence of whoever is best bang for the buck the month I build my PC as I have flopped between them over the last 30 years as it comes.
But since 2000~ish I have wanted to avoid anything they make because it either seems iffy, or the way they implement and deploy 'features' feels less like new tech and more like "You couldn't figure out a way, so you gutted parts and called them 'power saving features'.
[looking at you E cores to pad core count on the box].

Intel told us today that it will extend the warranty on its boxed Intel Core 13th- and 14th-Gen processors by two additional years. Intel's warranty extension comes as a result of the crashing and instability issues that have plagued its 13th- and 14th-Gen chips for months. Those issues impact all 65W and higher models, meaning the crashes have a widespread impact ranging from the flagship models down to even the pedestrian mid-range chips. Intel's processors typically come with a three-year warranty period, so the extension will bring the warranty for most boxed processors to five years.
I finally got my thumb out of my ass and changed my CPU cooler. My Corsair H100i that I've had for ~10 years is finally gone. It's been a shit cooler the last ~2 years (gunk in the water block and radiator as well as a degraded pump). I've been running my 8700K CPU with hyperthreading disabled and slightly underclocked and undervolted to keep temps under 90 degrees.
I replaced it with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 (new version) and I can finally run it with hyperthreading as well as overclocking it. Temps max out at ~75 degrees. It's like night and day. I've had the new cooler in a box for a couple of months since I was too lazy to do the swap. I'm glad I did. The system is snappier and smoother for sure.
After a bit of reading, comparisons and the like, got my hands on a Thermalright Phantom Spirit SE for 40€. This aircooler is a beast. Maybe overkill for my CPU (i5 9400F) but I went from 100ºC under full load to 61ºC. And it's future proof for newer board + cpu! Thanks for the heads-up, Frant.
first i7 still gaming viable... thank u intel for ten years of 5percent generation performance , shitty consoles and ass crypto making gpus too expensive and wanker ai devs hogging real innovation... pc gaming should be much much further then what we have right now
15 years old ....
imagine how many of these have been landfilled already ... denied a gaming life cause there isnt ebough cheap budget gpus around to mix em with cause them crpyto n ai cunts
Intel is getting asshanded by the "old" 7800x3D already, the new X3D one will make gap even bigger lol. Looks like intel does not know how to make better products.
all these efforts on efficiency ... meanwhile people using oled tvs as their main pc monitor , making any watts saved by a cpu gpu meaningless in the total power usage as the monitor uses most
laptops also already have batteries that last entire days so why the fuck wouldnt we use more power .... something just off. like they hit a limit they cant get passed without becoming unstable shit
amd had 60% drop in gaming sales compared to last year quarter or something
i hope the supermicro stock crash will be the needle that pops the ai bubble and make these cunts do a firesale like we never seen before
Finally upgraded my motherboard from ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI to Asrock X870E Taichi and got proper ram G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000).
