>fixed voltage problems where the cpu overtime would keep requesting to much voltage at idle (even if the clock rates where low, to much voltage at idle, without fast gate switching, causes less heat to dissipate) causing the cpus to fry the clock tree at idle
which is what the final may update fixed.
even at 1v or even 1.1v, at idle, at 800mhz - 1ghz, those voltages were to high and killing the processors because the clock rate wasn't fast enough to keep the clock tree cool. at those frequencies, the gates were not open and closing fast enough to dissipate heat at those low, but for idle, high voltages.
for 800mhz, it has to be around 700mv at idle to be safe. which the may update did.
if you buy a new 14900k, boot it up on the new, final firmware update that has all the fixes, and run the default, stock intel settings, then the cpu's are fine because they will run within operating parameters, under all scenarios. if you overclock them, then they will die because you open back up the clock tree burning itself alive from to much heat.

lower AC outside the intel default spec will cause instability issues because it won't be drawing enough voltages. not all cpu's are the same. intel gives them the vids for a reason.
its why early on many were having instability issues, because they were not giving enough voltage. you inbred mongrel.
