@plutarch @steter @ai6yr I mean.. it doesnt hurt to reseat things as long as you redo the thermal paste (if it's dried up itll cause the heatsink to float after reseating otherwise)
but I do think it's important to note the 14900k is *known* to break itself if you run the default bios and never updated it. it can work with a bios update, you might be able to save the other one that way, but intel is literally replacing CPUs past warranty for this issue because it is so widespread and well known

@ai6yr @plutarch @steter 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)

@anthropy @ai6yr @plutarch If there hasn't been a BIOS update since before 2024, it is pretty urgent to do so now (though Linux systems should already handle CPU BIOS patches for the user). Also, check voltage settings in the BIOS, should they be nonstandard:

@ai6yr @plutarch @steter if you want to know more about it, try searching for "14900k vmin shift"

@steter @ai6yr @plutarch linux does not always handle bios updates, it depends on if the mobo oem suppprts LVFS and if you actually use an updater that calls it (like KDE's Discover), or if you ran "fwupdmgr update" manually. it can, though
