Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent
frezik@midwest.social 1 month agoNot from AMD. From the autogenerated transcript (with minor edits where it messed up the names of things):
amd’s official recommendation [f]or the cut off now is 1.3 volts but the board vendors can still technically set whatever they want so even though the [AGESA] update can lock down and start restricting the voltage the problem is Asus their 1.3 number manifests itself as something like 1.34 volts so it is still on the high side
This was pretty much all on motherboard manufacturers, and ASUS was particularly bad (out scumbaging MSI, good job, guys).
At the start of this Intel mess, it was thought they had a similar issue on their hands and motherboard manufactures just needed to get in line, but it ended up going a lot deeper.

That doesn’t contradict anything I wrote. Note that it says [AMD’s] cutoff is now 1.3 volts, implying that it wasn’t before this mess began. Note also that the problem was worse on Asus boards because their voltage tolerance was looser than it should be, not because they used a voltage target beyond the specified cutoff.
