Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in 1981, with the love affair starting on a Sinclair ZX81 in kit form and a book on ZX Basic. He ended up becoming a physics and IT teacher, but by the late 1990s decided it was time to cut his teeth writing for a long defunct UK tech site.

, developed on Unreal Engine 5, experiencing exactly the same problem and along with reports of chips failing within a few weeks of purchase, Intel is now officially investigating the matter.) and as before, it mostly concerns Intel's Core i9 processors, such as the 13900K, but plenty of other models also appear to be affected.

Why would motherboard vendors do this? Intel's CPUs, especially the top-end i9 models, have very high clock speeds, with the 14900K having a Max Turbo Frequency of 6 GHz. However, it can only reach that speed under very specific conditions, and for most of the time, it won't run anywhere near that level.

It won't be of any comfort to those whose Core i7 or i9 has fried itself, if it does turn out to be related to BIOS settings, but hopefully all of this media attention will be the start of the end to such issues.
