Intel has not halted sales or clawed back any inventory. It will not do a recall, period. The company is not currently commenting on whether or how it might extend its warranty.

They may be greedy but they are not stupid. Clearly they calculated that by just ignoring the issue and eating the lawsuits, they save money compared to trying to make an actual solution (whatever that would even look like in the first place)

Gotta love fucking over the consumer twice! They're gonna get, what, $5 out of a class action? $5 and a burned out cpu, yay!

Is the issue the heat created by these high voltages? I noticed pretty quickly the 13600k was a lot hotter than I anticipated and slapped a much beefier cooler on it to bring that down.
