I think this issue was sort of cracked-open and popularized recently by this particular video from Level1Techs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzHcrbT5D_Y Towards the middle of the video it brings up some very interesting evidence, from online game server farms that use 13900 and 14900 variants for their high single-core performance for the cost, but with server-grade motherboards and chipsets that do not do any overclocking, and would be considered "conservative". But these environments show a very high statistical failure rate for these particular CPU models. This suggests that some high percentage of CPUs produced are affected, and it's long run-time over which the problem can develop, not just enthusiast/gamer motherboards pushing high power levels. |
