[Gamers Nexus] Intel's Biggest Failure in Years: Confirmed Oxidation & Excessive Voltage

Key Takeaways:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Just bought an i5 13600k. Should I be refunding this? I’d have to entirely replace my LGA1700 motherboard as well :(

I would personally get off the platform if you are able to recuperate your costs. We don’t have 100% confirmation that the microcode patches will fix the issue, as they won’t be released until mid-august. May as well wait until the issue is fixed or spend your money on a platform that is more solid.

If it’s still in the return window I personally would yeah

Thinking about this situation again and I’m only just realizing the ripple effects this might have on the company’s future and the future CPU ecosystem

I have to wonder if Intel realizes that they swam out to the ocean with no plan in mind
