Rather get Ryzen and not deal with this.
Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent

If your CPU is crashing/unstable then hes, damage is already done, but for the few of us who bought them later just uodate your bios to the latest one, set intel defaults, do not overclock and wait for the microcode update.
Though I do wonder if Intel isn’t just stalling for time, I do hope they are not. Didn’t wanna touch my build for next ~5 years.

There is also a corrosion issue. No software update will fix that. Intel purposely misled the media on that.

That is, disappointingly, not sufficient to guarantee avoiding damage. I did all that on my first processor (13900KF) before ever inserting my replacement processor (14900KF) into the motherboard. The replacement processor still destroyed itself.
Processor 1 used only motherboard defaults and managed to destroy itself.
Processor 2 used only Intel recommended settings, no XMP memory profile, no Intel turbo boost, more conservative then motherboard defaults.
I did not try running a processor for its lifetime at minimum memory speed or with only 1 core active. It’s possible that that might be sufficient to avoid damage. If I hadn’t already gone AMD over this, that’s what I’d be doing now until Intel comes out with their update. Not gonna do much by way of fancy gaming, but at least the system’s usable and won’t destroy itself.
