[Gamers Nexus] Intel's Biggest Failure in Years: Confirmed Oxidation & Excessive Voltage
Key Takeaways:
- If you or someone you know has had any system instability issues with their 13th or 14th gen Intel processor/CPU GN recommends on immediately filing an RMA with Intel even if a previous one was rejected.
- If you’re an owner of a 13 or 14th gen, please update the BIOS as soon as you can and keep an eye out for newer microcode patches/AGESA updates from Intel coming in mid-late August 2024.
- Please continue to be informed/vigilant when buying second-hand/used Intel 13 and or 14th gen CPUs as you probably don’t want to buy a defective CPU.
