It's actually amazing how bad intel's reputation is now. People that actually do buy them are getting burned hard, this is how you lose customers forever

the one thing they always had was stability. I've still got 4th and 10th gens in use

I heard 12th gen was good, but shit, at this rate AMD won't have competition again for a very long time

intel did fuck up, but if you have a recent one from after the microcode fixes, and run them on the microcode fixes, you quite literately won't have any issues.

I bought and used i9 13900k and I'm using it as my main PC, zero issues. I would suggest limiting the voltage request of your CPU to 1.4V. The issue is that high, transient spikes kill those CPUs and limit the voltage prevents any degradation.
I did that since I got mine and degradation is nearly impossible that way.
You might lose 100mhz but loosing that is nothing compared to killing your CPU

the problem are the 13th/14th gen I9s and the I7s K variants. Any other chip has a tiny change of degrading. Bullzoid did some testing and it seems like the issue is that Intel tries to predict workload spikes and ask more voltage than needed using a mechanism called "load lines". The higher power chips fail more as the single clock speed is higher, hence they request more voltage by default and a lot of mispredictions make the CPU request 1.6V hence frying them.
That's why lower power chips so not fail.
The video where Bullzoid explains Load Lines on detail, why they exist and why Intel is not using them on Core Ultra:

I agree with you, Intel really messed up this launch. Although Amd has also messed up too with Ryzen 5000 series as those are already degrading, but no big youtuber mentions it, for some reason.
The problem is that no one is testing for safety, these companies care about raw benchmark numbers and looking great on launch, then fix any mistake on the go with patches.

there is still stuff you have to do. load line, current limits, dual tau boosting, etc.
i have pic related, i still had to go into my bios and manually set things. like limiting current to "intel's default" over "let the motherboard decide based on vrm quality." asus also wanted to do a fake overclock by enabling dual tau boosting which i had to disable. motherboards will still try to auto overclock your processor, regardless if its "f" series or not.

I've also had this 14900K since September of 2024. After Intel released that big microcode update. Its only ran on the "fixed" microcode. Its been an absolute champ. I've abused the shit out of it. From 14+ hour long gaming sessions, to actually compiling software, video encoding, you name it.

Processors being used before the microcode fixes, yeah, are probably fucked. I am sorry. But for those who got them after the microcode, they should be fine.

TechYesCity did a video touching this topic:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KW1OZWH1tPg
He found a Ryzen 7 5800x for dirt cheap, it boots fine but the moment you apply any load it crashes. The fix? Reduce max turbo by 200mhz and it works now.
But he is not the first one with this issues. Just search for "Ryzen 7 5800x unstable" and you can search for a lot of cases of people complaining that their system crashes. The first link I found, from 2022:
https://www.overclock.net/threads/another-unstable-r7-5800x-even-at-stock-settings.1799521/
Again: no idea why Kiketubers quickly picked Intel degradation but stayed very quiet with this one.

The CPU requests voltages based on a few assumptions that have to come from the motherboard and they have to match the actual electrical characteristics of the board like AC/DC load line
Board makers have been playing fast and loose for years on this like reporting the mobo has a much more lossy vcore plane than it really does.
CPU requests voltages expecting a certain vdroop out the VRM into the CPU, gets higher voltages than expected because there actually isn't much droop across the vcore plane.

Hasn't been a problem because CPUs could take some additional voltage but 13900ks and 14900ks cannot.
It's not strictly the mobo makers fault but years of bad practices has exacerbated the issue.

I will cite Bullzoid here: the problem is not the motherboard makers, is Intel. The CPU request a voltage to the motherboard, it gets that voltage. Motherboards can only influence through Load Lines how much voltage to apply as compensation which adds/removes a small delta on the CPU request. Heck, motherboard makes actually saved Intel by using a smaller Load Line resistance by default (for I9s Intel default is 1.1mohns, they were using 0.4-0.6mohns which reduce the Vcore spikes on single core)
>>106010798
You are kinda correct, although AMD also messes up they chips. Let's not forget that the 9800x3ds are cooking themselves. Although more frequent in ASRock motherboards, AMD issued a fix on AGESA 1.2.0.3e for all vendors to appply. Here is a link for MSI mb in Leddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/1lprkhz/agesa_1203e_the_most_important_bios_update_that/
Ask yourself this question: if ASRock was the sole problem (and they have some blame here) why did AMD had to issue a CPU patch? It was a CPU issue! As, again: they have no incentive to overvolt the CPUs. If the CPU request X voltage, it gets X voltage.

>Do you know how long board makers have been doing that?
Not the original poster but from my own experimentation, they've been doing it since at least the launch of 9900K.

>What does lossy mean?
You have some voltage drop across motherboard VRMs (basically Ohm's law and the set VRM switching efficiency). So for example, if CPU requested 1.2v and there is a drop of 0.05v across VRMs, the CPU will actually get 1.15v delivered which could make it crash. To counter this, motherboard sets some values in the CPU called AC/DC LL. Motherboard tells the CPU how much of a voltage drop is expected on the VRM plane. The CPU then adjusts the requested volatge accordingly to get its desired voltage. So in the previous example, CPU will now actually request 1.25v to get the requested 1.2v. If you incorrectly set the AC/DC LL values, you can either undervolt or overvolt the CPU.

Motherboard vendors have been undervolting the Raptor Lake CPUs since launch as it lowers the temps and causes them to boost for longer, making their motherboard look good in reviews. After some CPUs started crashing because not all of them can maintain undervolt, motherboard vendors released some BIOS, due to panic and incompetency, that OVERVOLTED the CPUs causing them to degrade and kill them.

Not sure on specifically they started deviating from guidelines, it just hasn't been an issue until now.
The VID system has been in place for well over a decade. Wouldn't worry about anything pre-10nm

>>106010798
The fast and loose attitude is how you got 7800X3Ds melting or the current crop of 9800X3Ds degrading.
The problems are unrelated it seems to AMD's SVI system and more board vendors just allowing the CPU to request extremely high voltages when it comes to 9800X3Ds, Its assumed these voltages are technically within AMD guidelines but right up against what's permissable and some CPUs seem to can't handle it. Asrock in particular had a higher limit than others.
On the case of 7800X3Ds it was board vendors purposely setting high VSOC voltages in an attempt to increase memory compatibility. Asus in particular set basically no limits for voltage or current and fed CPUs until they literally melted.

To get what you have, someone would have to get a 13900K (or any other CPU with the same issue), not apply the microcode update (or revert to an earlier BIOS that doesn't have it), and manually fix the AC/DC LL? Would that work if someone were to buy one of the newest 13900Ks (or others) around as far as what was placed on a brick and mortar store's shelf or stored in an e-tailer's warehouse?

You have only yourself to blame. If you didn't win the silicon lottery and get a good 13th gen the first time like I did, you should have just gone for 12th gen (same mobo support) or their post-rebrand gens.

The microcode only stops accelerated degradation, it doesnt undo any existing damage,

those chips were never going to last long even without the bugs, because they are pushed to the edge out of the box , 10 year lifespan im guessing. so if you have a partially damaged degraded chip, even with the microcode fixes , it probably has a dramatically shortened lifespan.

Yes. It would work on any 13900K/14900K if you have a board with an older microcode/BIOS. You get +100Mhz extra (5.5Ghz all core instead of 5.4Ghz in case of 13900K) and it can hold two-core max boosts (5.8GHz for 13900K) for days. You just have to manually fix some AC/DC loadline settings. After the microcode fixes, it got severely circumcised.

its also the microcode, its bugged , early microcode allows the highest boost state at 90c instead of the defined 70c, and it also for whatever reason causes huge vid spikes at the beginning and end of a workload, like 1.65-1.72v , this alone is likely the main culprit, since alot of boards default to infinity amps allowed, that means regular spikes of >1.65v at potentially very high current at 90c, which will 100% damage the metal oxide layers of the cpu, even if its only for a brief periods

honestly if the temp limited werent screwed up, Its very possible it would have take another few years for this issue to show up, since temp accelerates degradation by roughly 2x for every 10 c increase.

That only happens on Gigabyte boards AFAIK because they set AC/DC LL even beyond Intel specified range during the fix. Even then, some boards, like Asus, do have the option to limit the voltage output manually. Just limit it to 1.45-1.55, or whatever you're comfortable with, there.

They're not even real cores. Only eight are real. You're getting 8 fake cores (threads) and another 16 fake estrogen cores. That's 4x the CPU charts that should be displayed.
E-cores should be grouped up and hyperthreading is a meme that should be turned off anyway.

>release 8 core CPU

They go to great lengths to mask CPU inadequacy as this translates to a maxed out CPU struggling on a single-core workload only registering as ~3% CPU in benchmarking tools even though it's running at its hardest.

I bought a i7-13700k for my sister's PC because I have it and it's working fine for 2 years
And I bought it from a private seller
But it has been failing since the beginning, I upgraded the Intel drivers which fixed it for a short while but it's started failing again this month
and in the EU there's this law that I can return the product within 180 days even to a private seller for a refund
and it's been 178 days when she told me it's failing again so I filed the thing and now trying to get the cash back, the guy who sold it to me will be able to RMA it if he wants but as a consumer I was supposed to get a working chip from him
kinda feel bad for the guy but it's in my favor so I will take it if I can, and ultimately it's Intel's fault

but anyway when I get a refund I will buy i9-12900k for my sister instead. it's a little worse which she won't notice, but stable

No big deal at idle. 145W TDP but it runs very cool for what it is, and single core turbo is 3.8GHz. Tried turbo unlock bios but the Huananzhi QD4 couldnโ€™t handle 3.2GHz on all 18 cores. The big draw is the R9 295X2 with the 500W TDP. Had to 3D printer a 5.25โ€ bay to 120mm fan intake duct with a Corsair ML120 Pro that spins up to 2400RPM to keep it cool. Just posted all my rigs in the battlestations thread.

No idea, itโ€™s my first build trying it out, always loved inverted ATX because it showcases the interesting side of the GPU, same idea with vertical, just wanted to try it for fun and the PCI-E 3.0 riders are cheap. First modern case Iโ€™ve had that supports it, itโ€™s a Sama 3509 that is the smallest case I could find for EATX and it was on sale for $75 CAD delivered from newegg. Not much risk with a 1080 that uses less than 200W, but newer stuff could be hard just because of the width and 3.5-4 slot thickness of newer stuff.

It results in an overshoot of voltage actually
If a board reports to the CPU that the power plane resistance is something like 1.1mohm but the ACTUAL plane is 0.540ohm, you get an overshoot because the CPU is requesting a voltage from the VRM expecting a loss from the actual electrical resistance of the vcore plane that actually isn't there.

If you did the opposite like set a 0.540mohm LLC on a crappy board that has a 1.1mohm vcore plane then you would get a lower voltage to the CPU then what it expects.

On my Asrock taichi board specifically, they had two separately released options going into the 13th, 14th gen fixes.
"Baseline" set LLC to 1.1mohm, this resulted in 1.45v VIDs with something like 1.42v on the external Vcore sensor.
"BIOS default" set 0.540mohm, this resulted in ~1.425v VIDs and the core sensor being ~1.4v which is exactly the voltage the CPU wants at 6ghz

I'm talking about the initial behaviour of motherboards prior to intel acknowledging any problems and issuing any fixes, so pre-2024 lga1700 behaviour.
All the Asus and MSI boards I've used always underreport AC loadline at stock (~0.80mOhm) while running vrm loadline at intel spec 1.10mOhm so they're undervolting at stock
Same for the older 9900k (1.2mOhm/1.60mOhm) and 10900k (0.80mOhm/1.10mOhm) too and they've all been stable without problems

it wasn't just high voltage and it wasn't just buggy power management sending the wrong voltage.... but voltage shift issues as well so that ended up frying the clock tree as well even if the cpu sat at idle drawing 700mv of power. i won't go into heavy detail about it but it was just all retarded shit. intel really fucked up so much basic shit. the entire voltage handling, its entire power management was all buggy and wrong. they literately did no testing before release.

the clock tree issue, would have never been an issue, if intel actually tested their all clock trees are sensitive to heat but the issue intel had, was they actually, admitted, they didn't bother doing any quality assurance / testing to figure out its limitations and set everything up appropriately.

so you had an issue of:
>transient spikes going higher than they thought

>power management that was sending the wrong voltages, and was overshooting because of it
>voltage shift issues that was slowly causing electromigration issues, causing the cpu to need MORE voltage, even at idle, to stay stable.

and this one should get more attention than anything else, because this issue resulted in, cpu's frying themselves, at idle, doing absolutely nothing because the default voltage to remain stable at idle, kept increasing higher as time went on due to electromigration issues developing around THE FUCKING CLOCK TREE.

idle voltage going from ~600-700mv at idle to 1-1.1 volts. now, those voltage might sound low and safe, but, for idle, lower frequency, that was TO HIGH. causing to much heat building up around the clock tree, and FRYING THE CLOCK TREE. since the transistors / registers were not opening and closing fast, helping to dissipate the heat, the heat would build up as a hotspot.

The max VID for Intel has always been 1.52V (since 14nm). You can look at the datasheets for sixth gen onwards for that. On 9th gen, they introduced 200mV "offset" for some reason but noted that it needed some special support. This is where 1.72V comes from (1.52V + 200mV). I don't understand why they did that. The VID would always be <= 1.52V though (this was bugged).
Anyways, the reason those CPUs didn't degrade was simply because they couldn't clock that high. Therefor, the VF curve on them is mostly < 1.4V usually. Even 12th gen, which is exactly the same CPU is safe simply because it can't clock that high. Raptor Lake on the other hand pushes 5.8Ghz-6.2Ghz at stock. This required higher VIDs (most sample have VF curve at 1.55v) hence the issue showed up for them.
If Skylake 14nm(+++) series could be clocked to 6Ghz (at >=1.5v), the issue would show up for them as well.

1.52v-1.72v vids worked perfectly on the couple of Asus boards I owned.
And you underestimate how desperate intel was. Starting with 10th gen, shit binned i9-10900k's had vids as high as 1.558v for 5.3ghz while later batches of 11900k's went up to as high as 1.65v for the 5.3ghz 1T boost. With the 12900k, it was relaxed slightly down to 1.4v ish and later went up to 1.5v again with the 12900KS
