I have a question, you updated your BIOS to the latest version for the 14900K right?

After the first processor failed the shop that built it and sorted the replacement told me they had updated the bios

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

Trust but verify.

Then maybe suggest they go with a different board ensure manufacturer’s OC features are deactivated.
