@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @plutarch@gotosocial.plutar.ch @steter@mastodon.stevesworld.co yea, it's really sad but they seem to have pushed the voltages way too high on these, especially because a lot of mobo oems would add extra voltage on top for load line calibration and boosting purposes; the chip literally slowly evaporates itself
It's nice intel is replacing them though, you can go back to the store with it and explicitly mention this is a known issue, even outside of the warranty period they'll replace it for free (a friend did this a few weeks ago)
