I have an Intel Core i9-14900K 3.2 GHz 24-Core LGA 1700 Processor purchased in March. Is there any guesses for the window yet of potential affected CPUs?

The window is the whole gen and the gen before it for any chips over 600. You are in this picture.

Yeah, this is going to be a mess for years. I am not even sure if they have enough chips for replacement.

I would suggest getting a new cpu and then locking that cpu down to a set speed.

You're in it. Get those bios updates and look into undervolting your CPU ASAP.

[–] ApollosArrow 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So the bios update wouldn’t already put my chip within safer operating parameters? I also have to undervolt it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It will put it into "safe" parameters, but I mean you should give it an additional undervolt to increase its longevity.

[–] ApollosArrow 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mostly worry about future performance being undervolted too much, since I sometimes do heavy animation work.

Yeah Intel really needs to recall these things. This shit isn't right.
