Do this NOW if you want your Intel CPU to live...

I hear buying an AMD fixes most Intel issues.

Narrator: It was not his last video regarding the Intel stuff.

Back in the day you have to be tech savvy to overclock CPU, now you have to tech savvy to be able to run CPU at default settings.

Customer: Is your processor unlocked Intel: Yes, but don't overclock

And I immediately imagined Arnold saying "Do this now if you want your CPU to live!"

You know what? No. I would rather have it degrade significantly enough and RMA the system. I have no faith in it anymore.

Gamers nexus is not on a crusade against intel. He’s on a crusade to get consumer protection for customers of intel. I think that’s an important distinction.

My two cents on this: If your CPU breaks or becomes unstable, file a RMA requests and get it replaced. I don't understand how nerfing the CPU performance is considered as an acceptable solution. No, it isn't. People paid full price for those trash CPUs. Reducing their performance isn't acceptable, especially since it doesn't even guarantee that they won't degrade further or continue crashing. Just file a RMA claim or return the CPU entirely if you are eligible to do so. As a client it isn't your responsibility to try fixing broken goods paid full price, nor is it acceptable to forfeit 5-10-15 percent of performance.

Microcode won’t fix a degraded CPU.

Intel needs to recall these processors and offer refunds if people want them.

Fixing the voltage and getting the microcode update is still like getting someone to walk slower on a broken leg because they'll get further than if they try running. The fundamental problem for many of these internally will remain.

Just pointing out, at 3:30 on the lower right corner of the screen, it does IN FACT show the 6Ghz voltage being 1.689v. That's.... Insane.

Remember when Jay said he was swapping back to intel 14th gen?

Intel: Dead Inside

So for not even 10% more performance, it eats like 50% more watts, that's a lot of energy wasted. Shows that overclocking isn't really worth it in terms of efficiency.

Crusade against the brand? What are you talking about? Also, trying to deflect the blame to MB brands at the very end....cmon, at this point we all know servers with those CPUs are failing at rate as high as 100%. No Asus there....No OC.,...no windows....just Intel!

So glad I could only afford 12th gen...

Why would I want my 8month degraded cpu to live? Rather have it die and RMA it

People running Intel will need to find out if their CPU has been degraded. You could be helpful in tracking down ways to do that, and letting people know how to check for any issues (windows event explorer, etc), and how to submit the Rma if needed

When you say: "Intel says"... that's not at all confidence inspiring based on their behavior as of late.
