Do this NOW if you want your Intel CPU to live...

I hear buying an AMD fixes most Intel issues.

And I immediately imagined Arnold saying "Do this now if you want your CPU to live!"

Narrator: It was not his last video regarding the Intel stuff.

You know what? No. I would rather have it degrade significantly enough and RMA the system. I have no faith in it anymore.

Microcode won’t fix a degraded CPU.

Intel needs to recall these processors and offer refunds if people want them.

Remember when Jay said he was swapping back to intel 14th gen?

Makes me appreciate my 7800X3D even more now. At least it doesnt make me anxious.

Intel: Dead Inside

So glad I could only afford 12th gen...

Gamers nexus is not on a crusade against intel. He’s on a crusade to get consumer protection for customers of intel. I think that’s an important distinction.

Have I said how happy I am that I’m still on AM4 and not dealing with this?

My two cents on this: If your CPU breaks or becomes unstable, file a RMA requests and get it replaced. I don't understand how nerfing the CPU performance is considered as an acceptable solution. No, it isn't. People paid full price for those trash CPUs. Reducing their performance isn't acceptable, especially since it doesn't even guarantee that they won't degrade further or continue crashing. Just file a RMA claim or return the CPU entirely if you are eligible to do so. As a client it isn't your responsibility to try fixing broken goods paid full price, nor is it acceptable to forfeit 5-10-15 percent of performance.

Customer: Is your processor unlocked Intel: Yes, but don't overclock

Why would I want my 8month degraded cpu to live? Rather have it die and RMA it

Fixing the voltage and getting the microcode update is still like getting someone to walk slower on a broken leg because they'll get further than if they try running. The fundamental problem for many of these internally will remain.

I think Steve is on crusade of calling out negligence within Intel. I don’t want a fix that is not guaranteed, I want Intel to refund me my money I work hard for and stop sweeping ish under the rug. They don’t realize they are losing life long customers. Nothing against what you guys are doing. I appreciate it.

My next upgrade being AMD is looking more and more likely every day.

Funy, bios version is 1303, so as the time in the bios 13:03)))

I just built my first computer this month and OMG am i glad i went with a 7800X3D
