That ‘picture of your mom’ joke. Damn… snorted my morning coffee across the table.

[arizona_anime_fan]

in short, overclocking the shit out of your 12th gen chips and calling them 13th gen and 14th gen causes problems when the cpus inevitably burn out due to factory overclocking the shit out of them

[Gary...]

My four year old just came over looked at Paul and said "is that a Lego guy?".

[Willyamm]

Thank you so, so, so much for reporting on this Paul.

I built a ~5k system last summer and I have since gone through 2 13900k. I thought I was going insane.
The system after around 2 months went unstable and it has been a glorified end table because I just can't solve the constant BSOD and have tried almost everything except a 3rd cpu.
As soon as you showed those other posts from Twitter it reads EXACTLY like what I was experiencing. Constant BSOD, no stable boot, out of video memory in Unreal games.

I have gone through such an emotional battle trying to get this thing to work, having it work partially thinking its solved only for it to randomly BSOD with no consistent error messages in a bundle of 20. Seriously, thank you so much man. If this solves the problem I owe you one hell of a beer.

[ShimejiiGaming]

The tech news has returned! Just dont run it at too high of a clockspeed cause then it may crash! Too much tech news and clocks ticking can cause many to struggle.

[ivovass]

"the solution is in the horyzen" got me 😂

[DrewWalton]

"that picture of your mom" LMFAO I cackled

[finneogan]

This isn't Intel's fault and it isn't the motherboard manufacturers' fault - it is the tech magazines' fault. Decades of wrong priorities, pushing both users and producers towards miniscule performance gains that mean nothing in real life but everything in marketing value. This has literally overheated to the point of a scorched earth pursuit, not because the producers want it or profit from it, but because the users clamor for it, out of decades of lopsided reporting. Oh, and corrupt practices, like reviewing pre-screened products provided by the manufacturer instead of testing products that come from retailers.

[krgan]

Who would’ve thought OCing chips to their absolute max could introduce stability problems

[stimmymcgotems]

I just thought ‘I wonder if there’s some Paul’s Tech News at 2am’ and yes. Yes there is. At 2am exactly

[definitelyhexed]

95c was never safe. Us old schoolers knew that.

[unvergebeneid]

8:00 Goddammit. Given that it's always a bit tricky to figure out if someone is talking about Gb/s or GB/s anyway, it really doesn't help if someone just mindlessly all-capses the units. Unless they actually mean Gigabyte per Siemens.

[cazschiller]

Same. 12900k here and had some crashes last month becoming more common. Mostly games but I also probably blue screened once in premiere.

Anyhow, I can confirm that Jay's video on the subject helped me resolve everything and you're right Paul! Adjusting my mobo (Asus z690-p WiFi D4) settings did the trick!

[aer]

Can confirm when I was working in the RMA department of a retailer here in Australia last year we were seeing a large amount of faulty 13th/14th gen CPUs too. The first 14900K we sold was returned for not reaching advertised clocks within the advertised power limit! And I saw a 13700K that was shorting so badly the substrate was burning hot after 2 minutes of trying to POST... hot enough to melt through the plastic clamshell I had to put it in to be able to carry it!

[paulbrooks]

I had a major issue that started cropping up after a BIOS update. Rolling back to a version that was as old as the last time the computer had no issues solved the problem. Also had to turn off firmware updates, and delete files in c:\windows\firmware. This was with a 13900HX.

[deler]

intel and nvidia is like the spider man meme pointing at each other and shit xD

[kxmode]

Many motherboard manufacturers, like ASUS, include unmetered CPU settings in the UEFI to achieve high benchmark scores. However, they often fail to set the profiles to the correct specifications for consumer versions. They offer options like "ASUS booster" or "default, " with many users opting for the booster, which uses the unmetered settings. Motherboard makers must stop releasing unoptimized boards to general consumers, especially since most are unaware that the specifications must align correctly with the mounted CPUs. This issue is not unique to ASUS; it's a widespread problem among manufacturers of 13th and 14th-generation CPUs. 😡

[elchancho]

If you have Asus MB turn off the AI overlocking I think it’s disable all disablers lol
My CPU temp went down 30c
Shit was cooking 90-100c playing Apex
Now 60-70c

[JDGamez]

I've got a 13700k and I haven't really experienced any crashes regarding gaming since just over a year ago of having this. I don't play such demanding games though or do FPS games, the most demanding I could play is Tomb Raider or something equivalent to it. I mostly play older games and racing games and emulation and nothing's crashed my computer. I also just recently changed motherboards to have a couple extra features that weren't present in my original board. I'll update this comment IF my computer crashes at all this year from gaming.🤔

That "your mom" joke was incendiary
