I got one of the faulty 13900k, at least in my case I can confirm that the fault appeared using the default settings for pl1/pl2.
I was doing reinforcement learning on that system and it was always crashing, I spent quite a bit of time trying to find the problem, swapped the CPU for a 13700kf I was using in another PC, the problem was solved.
So I contact Intel to start the RMA process, Intel said that the MSI motherboard I was using doesn't support Linux, I emailed them the official Intel GitHub repo with the microcode that enables the support, they switched agents at that point but I was clear to me at that moment that Intel was trying their best to avoid the RMA, luckily I live in Europe, so I contacted my local consumer protection agency and did the RMA through them, in the meanwhile I saw a good offer for a 7950x + motherboard in an online retailer, bought it and sold in the second market my old motherboard and the RMA 13900k when I got it.
Not buying Intel ever again, I was using Intel because they sponsor some projects in DS but damn.
- hopfenspergerj 3y agoI’ve had instability with my 7700k since I bought it, and 16 months of bios updates haven’t helped. Maybe this latest generation of processors just has more trouble than older, simpler designs.
- acdha 3y agoIntel has been struggling with CPU performance for a decade, and has been trying to regain their position in absolute performance and performance/{price,watt} comparisons. I think that means they’re being less conservative than they used to be on the hardware margins and also that their teams are likely demoralized, too.
- smolder 3y agoPossibly. I would start swapping parts around at that point. Different memory, different CPU, or different motherboard. Just 1 more anecdote, but my r7-7700x has been a dream (won the silicon lottery). It runs at the maximum undervolt & RAM at 6000 with no stability problems.
