I must have won the silicon lottery because I've had no issues with my 13900K
yet
Dum dum dddduuuuuummm
I feel lucky too. I have a 14900k that's stable. I did have some minor stability issues after I built it, but dialing back the motherboard's idiotic default settings plus a few BIOS updates cleared that up. With that said, if I had to do over, I'd build an AMD system. One of the big reasons I built Intel is that historically my Intel builds have been much more stable and less problematic than my AMD builds.
I’ve been running a 5950X since 2020 with nary a hiccup, fwiw. My system before that was an old 2600K that I was just far to lazy to upgrade for a very long time lol
The 2500k/2600k was such a good processor. My favorite Intel build I’ve done had a 2500k I overclocked to 4.8GHz back when bitcoin was $10.
I used my 5900x for over 3 years without a hiccup (months of uptime) when suddenly an update completely wrecked my idle stable. I think I figured it out, but yeah a happy AMD customer with the occasional "Why isn't shit stable out of the box"
Now Intel... Hahahaha guys I think you got screwed :/ time to lawyer up.
I thought I lose the silicon lottery, my 13900KS can't be underclocked at all or it will BSOD. Now I suppose I'm lucky it work fine at stock settings.
