This doesn't sound like a thermal issue with the chip itself though, more in the physical socket.

- ilyt 4y agoIn the article it said that apparently in some cases excess voltage damaged the temperature sensor which caused chip to not register overheating and just ask VRM for more power
- __turbobrew__ 4y agoSounds like the thermal sensors don’t fail safe. If the thermal sensor isn’t returning readings or those readings are not within a reasonable range the CPU should shut down and then fail subsequent POST tests with a descriptive error.
- ilyt 4y agoOvervolting can do funny stuff to electronics. It could "just" go out of spec and start lying by some degrees. I wouldn't be surprised if next gen had that duplicated, it can't cost that many extra transistors
