Hi,

Intel 13/14th Gen CPU are degrading over time and I was one of the unluck ones to be efffected by this twice (replacement CPU also ended up having the same issue after 4 months). Wanted to know if there are other users on this forum who have also faced the issue and how was yout intel customer service experience (my experience is horrible and still awaiting on intel to fix their backend shit to get my refund)..

I use a 13700k with PL1/PL2 limited to 200w. Haven't notice any instabilities so far, been rock solid since build. Limiting the power probably helps with degradation.
 
Those reports suggest that they seem more of S/w than H/w ? Intel 13th gen is from 2022 so it has been some time. So what changed ?
 
ASUS is pushing BIOS updates to their Z790 boards. It makes the CPU stable but chops off performance.
 
well, the CPU is a K meaning unlocked, and all motherboard partners were following Intel sepc to run unlimited since they told that the CPU can manage/handle it on its own... well guess it cant.
 
I own a 13600K build and it's been going strong since last January. I haven't put any power restrictions in place and I do a lot of rendering tasks and ocassionally work on some LLMs. The power efficiency and performance of this thing's been crazy for me. I guess I've been lucking out so far ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Same here. Running a 14700KF at either 200 Watts or 220 Watts max. No performance dip or unusual temperatures during gaming.
