I have an Intel Core i9-14900K 3.2 GHz 24-Core LGA 1700 Processor purchased in March. Is there any guesses for the window yet of potential affected CPUs?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The window is the whole gen and the gen before it for any chips over 600. You are in this picture.

Yay. Fun times all around.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, this is going to be a mess for years. I am not even sure if they have enough chips for replacement.

I would suggest getting a new cpu and then locking that cpu down to a set speed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're in it. Get those bios updates and look into undervolting your CPU ASAP.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So the bios update wouldn’t already put my chip within safer operating parameters? I also have to undervolt it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It will put it into "safe" parameters, but I mean you should give it an additional undervolt to increase its longevity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mostly worry about future performance being undervolted too much, since I sometimes do heavy animation work.

Yeah Intel really needs to recall these things. This shit isn't right.
