Anyone running a 13x or 14x should test their PC using Intel’s stress test utility, especially if you have had crashes. It’s permanent damage and they will replace your processor.

Also update your BIOS if you have those chips. There is a software fix for if you haven’t been affected yet

An old motherboard dies.
Her connections fall to the floor.I did not expect to get Live stuck in my head tonight, but there you go
Edit: Not a complaint BTW, I’ve owned Throwing Copper since it came out in 94
Did they ever issue a recall? Crazy that the issue has persisted this long.
No recall needed. Bios update to fix the issue. If your cpu popped already then warranty it.
So a recall is probably the correct thing to do. Logistically and financially it would be a friggin nightmare
Not to mention they denied it was an issue for like a year and a half
…after knowing for damn sure it was a serious issue in two successive process generations.
There is no way this happened without a LOT of people knowing EXACTLY what was happening, and covering it up. The DoJ should really kick off an investigation into the situation, because it’s pretty obvious there was malfeasance at multiple levels. That, or their leadership and QC processes are both so categorically inept that one could argue the company should be straight up nationalized as a critical strategic asset.
I wasn’t aware of the existence of this tool until now, so thanks for posting this here.
Glad to help <3
Was there anything new since this article 2 months ago?
