What's the confusion? Refer this: The memory controller is in the CPU To run it faster, you need to increase voltage XMP or not, increasing voltage or controller speed above 3200 for DDR4 is overclocking, which will void the CPU warranty, see first point If there's no damage, Intel can't...

We're talking CPU warranty here. Please go through the terms carefully.

Overclocking has always voided warranty, no need for separate terms under extended warranty. A safe OC cannot be detected outside the mobo it was OCd on. PS: I'm not actually directing anyone to kill their CPUs. Just pointing out that Intel can't tell when the degradation occurred, only if it...

Cinebench does single core benchmarks as well, I should have specified that, thanks. If you set the affinity, you can select which core you want to run the stress test on. Looking forward to Gamer Nexus' take on this. I'm sure someone will write an app to do this automatically. I mean this is...

An overnight Cinebench loop with old BIOS should destroy any CPU. I guess everyone should have at least a year of the original 3 year warranty left. The core issue is Intel hiding the fact who might be affected, and who will end up with a nerfed CPU/reduced usable life. In that case, it's...

I'd say don't apply the patch, wait for your CPU to shows signs of instability and RMA it. Intel is deliberately withholding the batch numbers of the affected CPUs in hopes that applying the patch might hide partial degradation and make it last just beyond than the total 5 year warranty. Every...

Just tell them it's an intermittent issue that occurs randomly. If possible, make another video showing the issue + move the camera to the back to show the serial number. That will be enough proof When they're getting you a replacement, confirm the exact model number over phone before they...

There is a difference between overclocking while remaining within safe voltage limits and exceeding it. My delidded OC'd 3770k is still running well after 14 years. 13th/14th gen couldn't even last 14 months No, it will limit the maximum voltage that the CPU can request, and thereby the highest...

There will always be a bottleneck in your system somewhere no matter your specs: if it's not the GPU, it will be the CPU, else RAM, else VRAM, else SSD (in case of huge games with high res textures), else your monitor (response time, refresh rate). Currently your bottleneck is the GPU. If you...

^^ Only in a couple of 1080p games are you able to hit 75fps, which I guess is your screen refresh rate In all other cases you are GPU limited

This basically, the harder you run it, the more it gets damaged. Daily usage and may be even some light gaming shouldn't matter

The 12400 has better single core and the 13400 has better single + multi core performance than 10900K. If newer CPUs can do more work with fewer cores, what's wrong with it? Initially I think there were scheduler issues where the game would run on E cores instead of P, but I thought that was...

CPU instability can usually cause WHEA errors, which might corrupt data on storage devices, but nothing else AFAIK. This was one way to tell if a manual OC wasn't 100% stable. I wonder if NOT having a massive AIO would reduce damage, since it would have hit thermal limits first, so sustained...

Good point about the always live scenario. I was only thinking along the lines of AC's alternating poles between L & N, so wiring polarity wouldn't matter as such. Totally forgot thw switch.

No, I get that, but why would Live and Neutral being reversed make the Earth useless?

Wait, what?

https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/26/24206529/intel-13th-14th-gen-crashing-instability-cpu-voltage-q-a If you have a 13th/14th gen that's running without issues, lower power and Vcore limits manually immediately, and wait until the patch drops. Avoid buying 13th/14th gen on the used market, they...

With newer 8GB cards, the VRAM might become the bottleneck. Remember your 1080ti has 11GB. As to figure out whether you are CPU or GPU limited currently try this: Install Afterburner from MSI site only Open Afterburner, enable OSD Fire up Alan Wake Disable V sync When your fps drops, check GPU...

Since they have established a customer base, they think they can increase profits by hiring fewer delivery partners, and requiring more no. of deliveries from each for higher incentives; instead of more partners delivering fewer orders each. So this strategy automatically means "hot food" is no...
