It’s not yet clear what the root cause of the crashes is.

    Sounds like their ootb “overclock” pushes the chips too hard. They completely lost touch with any sense for efficiency.

    I just built a 13700k system for a lab box. My plan all along was undervolt (stable .130 undervolt) and limit max PL2 to 175w. I probably get 85% or better of listed performance and it runs a cool 60° even under max load, which I will frequently run for 24h at a time. For me, cool and stable was always the goal, sounds like this is just bearing out my decision.

    Note, I would have gone AMD, but I needed quicksync for Plex.

    They replaced my 13900k for exactly this reason a couple of months back. I bought a full contact cpu frame and tossed a new AIO cooler on it, and we’ll see how it goes…

      Aren’t intels laptop chips a different architecture

        Depends on the generation. The one that’s just been released, Meteor Lake, wasn’t released on desktop because despite Intel aspiring to make it a more power efficient architecture across the board, in a lot of its voltage/frequency curve, it’s less efficient than previous gen.

        On desktop, it’d be a downgrade over previous gen for sure, so they instead just re-released 13th gen chips as 14th gen.

        The article talks about desktop CPUs, so I guess they are different architecture… Hope I will be able to play “The Sims” smoothly.

      I have a 3 year old i9 in my laptop and that shit overheats trying to watch 4k YouTube lol. This chip never had any business being in a small chassis
