Any guidance on choosing appropriate conservative settings for i7-13700K? I may be hit with the same as you in the future (sometimes I have to do some heavy multithreaded combinatorial computations which run several days with 100°C temperature, using all cores). The motherboard has options for customising pretty much everything there is, but I didn’t touch anything overclocking-related, so I have Asus defaults.

I’ve been reading news about this for a bit.
I believe that I may have damaged an i9-13900KF with stock Asus motherboard settings myself.
If you’re getting one of these yourself, no joke, give serious consideration to using more-conservative-then-stock-motherboard settings.

The article has a bunch of settings that they say that Intel’s flagged as “don’t use”.

I see, thanks. Will check. I just thought perhaps you figured out something other than those from your experience.

Did thoes defaults include XMP though? XMP is also overclocking.

On my own motherboard, it is a default, but the article doesn’t list it as being a setting believed to be problematic from a CPU damage standpoint.

I guess not for your specific cpu, but Asus fried some ryzen 7000 cpus with XMP last year

I never choose to mess with overclocking. This situation would have burned someone like me who assumes defaults are safer. What a mess.
tal@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Yeah, I could believe that there would be overclocking settings in a BIOS that would let you damage a CPU. I just was also thinking that the defaults wouldn’t.

In the past it has been considered pretty safe to play with a moderate OC because the CPUs have decent thermal protection built in. Seems like that era might be over.
