Crashing is caused by a confluence of four separate power and voltage bugs.

    I’ve not kept up to date with this but wasn’t the problem that as soon as you run these CPUs they are getting permanently damaged? Surely they have to recall them?

      They might be able to make some kind of test that could reliably identify damage.

      I mean, I’m skeptical, but it’s not impossible.

        That’s the beauty of intermittent problems!!

        You can’t prove they aren’t there, only that they are, or, that you fail to reproduce.

      Every CPU will wear out given enough time. Most of the time that is like 20+ years, so no one cares. The problem is that they where pushing things so hard the CPU was wearing out in 6 months. So all of these CPUs will likely have a reduced lifespans, but they may last long enough to get you to your next upgrade. If you are already seeing crashing issues, it is likely wore out already.

        If you overclock it and it starts to crash Intel say “sorry warranty void”, if Intel accidentally overclock it and drastically reduce its life “…”

          Hey get your facts straight. They overclocked it intentionally but poorly. If they weren’t already pushing it to the limit this probably wouldn’t even be an issue.
