      Unfortunately this is a separate issue. The main problem that is blowing up now is that the CPUs are rapidly degrading to the point of failure even with completely standard settings and normal usage. And ironically, boosting the voltage to solve the issue you’re talking about might then accelerate the degradation issue, because the leading theory seems to be that the high voltage that i9s use is frying the ringbus.

      All around just a terrible situation for Intel and their customers

        No customer deserves this but if you’re buying Intel at this point, you can’t be surprised. It always seemed that their only way to keep up with AMD is to pull some tricks like insane power draw and other shenanigans to beat them in some specific benchmarks and then use these as the definitive measurement for performance. I don’t remember any innovation from them in the last 10 years (and frankly, before AMD released their Ryzens, it wasn’t actually needed).

        Yeah I’m getting an RMA. This solution gave me stability in the mean time though. I still have to pay shipping/handling though

      Lmao I think I was undervolting it to try and improve stability. I’ll try the opposite, even if it does chew through the processor a bit quicker.
