I think it would work as a theory only if Intel are reserving very large numbers of batches of tray CPUs for specific OEMs.
I wouldn't risk it. would you?
Have to agree with this. I did server support for over 20 years. In that time I don’t think we had any cpu failures. Thermal paste needing replacing was about it.
Most of the lower SKU CPUs use the 12th gen die (C0), so apart from the 14600 and the 13400/14400 (they're C0 or B0) I don't think it'll apply to them. The only posts I've seen with lower SKUs reporting problems they had a CPU with a B0 die.
It's too late. Bought in January. It's the ticking risk though?
not good at all, how long have you had it for?Potentially joining the boat of 13900K starting to fail. On Intel's performance setting in my BIOS, rolled back to 4800 on my ddr5 and now running PCIE 3.0 just to stop it from crashing now. Going to start the ball rolling on trying to get a warranty claim on Monday
Built December 2022.
Yes, I think Intel's quoted figures (in the GN video, "... one source told us that Intel is telling OEMs that it has observed a 0.035% worldwide failure rate ...") is about what I would expect from a tier 1 silicon company - anything higher would imply poor QA and binning. And I would also expect 80-90% of 0.035% to be DOA rather than failing later.
You might be lucky. While exact cause is unknown and CPUs on the server/workstation W680 boards also failing is worrisome, thermal stress or excess voltages might still play a role. What laptop is it? I would suspect a lower wattage part might be safe enough - at least for a time - but desktop-replacement parts? Who knows
Do tell is your RMA experience. All smoothly is what we would expect of Intel CS. At least Intel CS of yore, anything less we would certainly like to know about.Potentially joining the boat of 13900K starting to fail.

Only good thing is its under warranty and hopefully your replacement will be fine.
I've dropped this comment on a video of his, on the basis I'm someone who has watched his tripe for a while now:Frame Chasers put out a intresting video yesterday which I can't link here as it has swearing in it though Jufus says that the single core/two preferred cores boosting is giving the CPU too much voltage is the issue thats causing the CPU's to degrade and locking the cores to stop this boosting should stop it from happening.
The video also goes into detail of an degraded 13900KS he had recieved from a discord member that crashes after loading bios optimised defaults and put under a little load/pretty much idle in Windows. To make the CPU stable one has to lock the cores and up the voltage to make the CPU stable to account for the degradation that has already happened though some people in the comments said this needs more extensive testing.
This could explain why even with power limits in place this would still happen though its still not clear if this is an issue from the factory or a motherboard issue or a combination off both and/or other issues.
