The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead.
Interesting, so it only throttles at that temp? That’d a bit different than how AMD handles it IIRC, which think stops boosting around 80C or so and throttles around 90C, and the max operating temp is closer to 100C.
The 7000 series had the Intel behavior of just clocking up until like 95C and staying there indefinitely
That’s why people thought the 9000 series was disappointment - AMD went back to balancing power efficiency and performance
Yes.
Whether Intel fucked up by saying “oh yeah works great up to 105” if that isn’t actually true is another question, as I mentioned.
