I have a i9 13900KF that I got right when it came out. The only thing I have done to it was set a offset of -0.060. I have never had one problem. No crashing, vcore never above 1.38. It's baffling to me, almost as if the more recent batches have an issue.
I have a 13th gen and a 14th gen, never had a problem with the 13th gen, and just bought my 14900KS last month. Hopefully it'll be just as fine as the 13th gen
@@stefanokerster9844 It's really strange to me that all the news is reporting all i9 13th and 14th gens but clearly there are some out in the world that are having zero issues.
Built my wife a i7 14700k and locked the P cores to 4.7ghz and the E cores to 3.4ghz since she was coming from an old i7 8700k. The 14700k uses around 1.1v and at full load on a CB r23 run around 170W total on the CPU. Some might not agree to this but one, it keeps the CPU nice and cool while getting over 30k in CB r23 scores, two its better than what she had for gaming/streaming/video editing and last as the old saying goes, happy wife happy life. Once I see intels " microcode patch" later this month, it will be the factor on me getting a 14900k/14700k or just sticking to my 10850k which sadly has issues and went well over 230-240w and almost 1.5v at 4.8ghz-5ghz. I do have a feeling this is something intel knew about ever since the 9900k and they were just hoping people wouldnt think much of it and buy a new cpu/mb/memory. I will not go to AMD as I have had massives issues back during the 965be, 1100T and the 8350 days. yes AMD might be different now but I need a system I can run four memory sticks for 128gb which the 14700k on an Aorus Master X will run at 5600mhz
You don't have to stop using it, you need to put the correct spec voltage limits in your Bios. ICCMax - 307A, Low voltage power state - 125 watts, and High voltage state 253 watts for an i9-13900K. My i9-13900K with a 360mm AIO maxes at 72 C and hits 37000 on Cinebench with these settings.
Honestly, just put reasonable power limits on it, limit the ICCMax and check the Load Line Calibration. My 13600K ran super hot out of the box and now it's fine. And according to PugetSystems, when configured like this, Intel CPUs don't actually seem to fail.

@@InTehFace1That will be something they develop along with the patch in a few weeks. As of now I haven’t seen anything that suggests a viable test out yet. Just did an update video on new details about the warranty. Thanks for the question and hope you subscribe, cause I will cover all the updates. I know its frustrating, hang in there.
