selecting the right CPU involves considering your specific needs, budget, and long-term plans for your computer.

There's apparently some good news, though. Intel are extending the warranty by 2 years for boxed 13th and 14th gen CPUs and say they're releasing a patch mid-August that should prevent the issue happening to CPUs that haven't yet been damaged. Of course, if a CPU is already crashing, there's still no fixing it.

in case you were thinking about buying or building a pc soon:

it's so convenient and nice when doing something for moral reasons is also incredibly practical. electronics manufacturing is evil & destructive but also used shit is just so much cheaper that it's unbelievable. i spent so long looking for a decent laptop under a grand and then i look on a used website and find a gaming laptop with an i7-7700 and a 1060 for 400 dollars

I'm always like "yeah sure I'm no expert but I'm relatively familiar with PC tech terminology" until I'm actually trying to shop for PC components

Sorry for being a bit MIA these last days. Had a issue with my driver, but also just discovered that the 13th and 14th gen of Intel cpu's can suffer from a degrading problem over time! Well I wasn't sure mine was effected.. But I took no chances and got a brand new replacement with the latest bios update.

If you have a 13th or 14th gen intel cpu, update your Bios asap! It could suffer from a degrading issue or else over time. Intel has released a patch in August to prevent that. But existing damage cannot be helped.

More info here!

Oh your birthday is coming up soon? Nice!

yeah :] i hate being Technically An Adult but birthdays are always nice. i wish i could get an SC plushie but alas. the fiend that is limited-time plushies betrays me

[imageingrunge]

there are two wolves inside of me one wants to build a pc from scratch and the other is delusional enough to think I have enough money to buy a new pc now

[as-if-and-only-if]

Time to choose a GPU for my new PC! 🙂 *is confronted by the horror of complexity inherent in engineering machines in many-dimensional domains with high functionality gradients* ok no big dealio! umm, eenie, meenie…

[savageboar]

FUCK i forgot updating bios reverts settings to default and thought it fucked my shit into a boot loop. i just had to disable secure boot yet again to actually boot into windows

[wishmaker-astra]

You know, as a steel type, reading about "CPU oxidation problems" sure does hit different

[eurekq]

fwiw with the intel cpus apparently intel is saying it's caused by voltage problems and they will be pushing out a microcode update, which if they're correct should help any computers that haven't begun to degrade already. Of course this is assuming theyre not just blowing smoke out of their ass
