This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I must have won the silicon lottery because I've had no issues with my 13900K
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.
