Key Takeaways:

If you or someone you know has had any system instability issues with their 13th or 14th gen Intel processor/CPU GN recommends on immediately filing an RMA with Intel even if a previous one was rejected.
If you’re an owner of a 13 or 14th gen, please update the BIOS as soon as you can and keep an eye out for newer microcode patches/AGESA update from Intel coming in mid-late August 2024.
Please continue to be informed/vigilant when buying second-hand/used Intel 13 and or 14th gen CPUs as you probably don’t want to buy a defective CPU.

Thinking about this situation again and I’m only just realizing the ripple effects this might have on the company’s future and the future CPU ecosystem

I have to wonder if Intel realizes that they swam out to the ocean with no plan in mind

  As someone who slaves away at a company measuring revenue in billions and authorized to procure $1MM per year (seriously, not a humblebrag. Companies shit money)….
  
  lol. Every company right now is driving straight off a cliff with their foot on the pedal. Who cares about next year when we can squeeze more profit now?
  
  Welcome to late stage capitalism. Or if you prefer, late stage industrialization. The rulers aren’t as dumb as we like to think. They know nothing will remain of society in 50 years due to climate change and resource scarcity.

Just bought an i5 13600k. Should I be refunding this? I’d have to entirely replace my LGA1700 motherboard as well :(

  I would personally get off the platform if you are able to recuperate your costs. We don’t have 100% confirmation that the microcode patches will fix the issue, as they won’t be released until mid-august. May as well wait until the issue is fixed or spend your money on a platform that is more solid.

  depends on your return window,
  
  if you have a chance to refund both your CPU and mobo I’d personally recommend taking it and waiting to see what Intel does if you want to buy Intel’s future processors, you’d also get the option to take a look at AMD’s lineup as well
  
  if you’re outside the return window for both it might still be worth refunding the CPU and seeing if you’d be able to swap the mobo with an AMD equivalent by contacting your board maker [Asus MSI, Asrock, Gigabyte, NZXT, etc), if they say no then you still have the option to sell as a new board as it sounds like you were on the cusp of the build phase

    May the board is a few years old. I’d be taking a loss on the motherboard and cpu as they’re both out of the return window.
    
    Maybe I should just sell the entire pc.
