Interesting, I hadn’t heard about the Pentium overlocking issues. My theory on the current issue that running chips for long periods of time at 100C is not good for chip longevity, but voltages could also be an issue. I came up with this theory last summer when I built my rig with a 13900k, though I was doing it with the intention of trying to set things up so the CPU could last 10 years.

Anecdotally, my CPU has been a champ and I haven’t noticed any stability issues despite doing both a lot of gaming and a lot of compiling on it. I lost a bit of performance but not much setting a power limit of 150W.
