Hey guys.

I have a 4090 i9 14900K

Have you sent in your CPU to Intel for replacement yet?

Contact Intel and replace your 14900K if you built your PC yourself.

If you bought the PC from Dell, HP, Lenovo, ect, contact them and have them replace your CPU. They might try to give pushback, but Intel extended their warranty and instructed the PC builders to replace CPUs that they sold in their PC’s.

Their is a MAJOR bug with that generation of Intel CPUs that over volts the CPU despite the BIOS settings causing many PC’s to crash, and/or overheat with irreparable damage.

Intel released a software update but they also extended their warranty by 2 years, offered replacements, and instructed 3rd party vendors to offer replacements too.

There’s lots of articles about it. I’ll link just 2 of them. It took Intel several months to find the cause and start replacing CPUs.
