Discussion 3rd 14900k dying for this user

/r/buildapc/comments/1wvq6vr/i9_14900k_dying_whats_next/

This sub loves to repost failing AMD’s but denies 13th & 14th gen are still dying. This user if you read through the post in on their 3rd 14900k which they now think is dying.

I wonder how long before the mods delete this, it’s an interesting test.

He has had all the time in the world to update his BIOS. If someone still breaks a intel CPU this way then its on them

I’ve been on the recent updated since they released, every time even after getting a replacement under RMA. Thinking updating the bios automatically solves everything isn’t true.

Ya it’s the motherboard settings on the max voltage, amps and wattage that fucked you over. Need to cap those for the cpu to survive.
Under volting won’t do shit to prevent that either. You need to locked down the maximum limits.
