i9 with a asrock z790 pro rs

I've had so much trouble over the last 3 years and 4 months since buying the i9 from gw computers crashing, pages crashing updated not working went through about 20hdd's 2mb's and finally discovered it was the $1000.00 i9 cpu intel that would fail 24/7 I only discovered this when I replaced it with an i5 13 gen as I didn't want to risk an i7 as they also have heat issues and now my machine is running like a dream. My next computer will be an AMD not going down the microsoft hole of lost dollars again. Every other computer I built in the last 26 years has been amd, So if you have an i7 or i9 and experiencing weird stuffget rid of the cpu with the faulty silicon with the thermal problem.

Well Intel did have degradation issues with 13th and 14th gen processors. Sounds like yours was part of that group.

Sure was a tech guy offered to purchase it from me but I couldn't sell it to him as it's against my principles to sell dodgy stuff wish microsoft and GW computers had Principles. It wasn't until microsoft bought out a patch for the faults that I first cottoned on to the possible problem can't believe they waited over 3 years for a patch but it never fixed mine.

If you have a Retail Box I9 cpu it has a 5 yr warranty and Intel will replace it.
With the latest bios updates on your board it should be safe to run the new I9.
Otherwise you could just sell the replacement and recover some of your money.

peace
