Is there a safety issue like fire or just a “I need to buy a new CPU” issue?

Is there a safety issue like fire or just a “I need to buy a new CPU” issue?
- qingcharles 2y agoNo fire. It just ruins some of the micro-electronics inside so that it won't run reliably (or at all).
- TheDauthi 2y agoNo known safety issue. Both issues (the overvoltage in both 13 and 14 gen chips, and the oxidation that's limited to 13th gen) lead to system instability. How quickly these occur is unknown from the Intel reports. Claims are as little as a few weeks, but independent verification is needed on that one.
