Intel has recently been embroiled in an embarrassing scandal. The company's high-end Core i9 processors in the last two generations suffer from instability in some games and other heavy workloads, and may actually crash over time. Under full load, the central units become terribly hot, and according to speculation, the failures can be traced back to material fatigue related to thermal stress.
Intel now finally Gave new information Regarding this issue. According to his claim, the root causes of the complaints are still under investigation, but based on his experience so far, the problems often occur when using motherboards that do not follow recommendations regarding maximum voltages and temperatures due to the absolute maximum speed being reduced, and perhaps even disabling some of the protective functions in the processors.
Due to this issue, ASUS and Gigabyte have now released BIOS/UEFI updates for their motherboards Provided with MSI manual-How to fix crash issues by modifying settings.
Installing an update or reset can stabilize processors, but in turn can result in a performance loss of up to 15%.
Intel's communications so far leave a bad taste in the mouth. The company could point the finger at motherboard manufacturers, but on the one hand, it could have been responsible for forcing them to use the security limits it set at the time, and on the other hand, it had no objection to their business practices until they introduced their processors. In better light during tests.
