Intel 13th and 14th Gen confirmed defective

This is worth a look, skip to 05:54, Intel are claiming the launch performance of 15th gen “was not as planned” and they’ve identified “a series of issues at OS Level, they’re at the BIOS Level”

The only way this could be the case is if their testing BIOS and OS versions differed from that available to end users.

ie, outright lies or complete negligence

As I am looking at getting a new PC, this thread seemed like a rather important read. After going through it all, it seems that people are, on the whole, in general, somewhat ambiguously leaning ever so slightly, just a smidge, almost imperceptibly away from INTEL right now, in favour of AMD.

I think I've understood that correctly anyway.

Thank you for the all the research/info you guys have put into this, it really helps idiots like me that don't understand the technical side of PC components.

You've understood it correctly. And it's more than just a smidge. ;)

Jayz 14900K just died on his personal rig, he always had manual voltages set and it could never reach into even what the Microcode update limited to. It was also on a custom loop so temps would have been as optimal as possible.

He's rebuilding on Ryzen

Its blatantly an architectural flaw, voltages and temps will just accelerate if higher

Just in time for a 9950X3D build (y)

Well, that 140000KS isn't dead after all. The problem was water splashed on the motherboard.

It is also one of the early signs of the CPU failing, starts sporadically with a 00 boot issue which sorts itself once the silicon has had time to cool back to it's "correct shape", then when it is running you start to get BSODs, eventually it will just fail to boot at all when the silicon structure has degraded enough that it's literally turned to glass.

Apparently though the 00 code can also be due to the contact frame being tightened too tight, and turning back half a turn can restore normal boots.

I don't think it's water related, I suspect that would have caused a short on the board leading to something more catastrophic, especially as it was salt water which is highly conductive vs distilled water. I would also have expected the PSU safety cut off to step in if it was a board issue, so you wouldn't get power to the board at all, perhaps I'm wrong there.

But I want it to be the CPU, would settle my need for justice (not against Jay, against Intel), I'm betting he'll get more 00's that he can't identify, then eventually he'll be complaining of apps suddenly closing mid use before BSODs start appearing when it is running

That's my bet, where's me wallet?

All credit to Jay though for getting that high up, Linus had a professional overclocker doing the legwork, plus a $50k industrial cooler getting the system sub zero, Jay did it all himself, that's pretty damn impressive as he's up there in the leaderboard with all the professionals.
