Nuked Hello, tech lovers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to dive into some juicy Intel news. Buckle up, because things are about to get interesting!
Intel has decided to extend the warranty on its troublesome 13th and 14th Gen CPUs by an extra two years. This move comes as a relief for those grappling with the instability issues that have left many users feeling like they’re playing a game of CPU roulette.
In a statement from Thomas Hannaford, Intel reassured customers that they are committed to supporting anyone dealing with these pesky processor problems. They’re not just throwing their hands up in defeat; they plan to share more details about this extended warranty support soon. Talk about customer service!
Previously, Intel’s boxed CPUs came with a three-year limited warranty, so now most affected chips will enjoy a total of five years of coverage. That’s a solid upgrade! Just last week, Intel was tight-lipped about extending the warranty, but it seems they’ve had a change of heart.
The root of the instability issue appears to be an “elevated operating voltage.” While Intel is working on a patch expected by mid-August, it won’t magically fix any damage already done. So, if your CPU is feeling under the weather, it looks like replacement might be the best course of action.
Here’s the full scoop from Intel: They’re dedicated to making sure customers experiencing instability with their 13th or 14th Gen desktop processors get the help they need. For those who bought systems from OEMs or system integrators, reach out to your manufacturer’s support team for assistance. If you snagged a boxed CPU, Intel Customer Support is your go-to.
Intel is also looking into ways to help users identify affected processors quickly and promises to provide guidance soon. They apologize for any delays in communication as they work through this challenging issue. Hang in there, folks—help is on the way!
That’s the latest scoop on Intel’s warranty extension! Stay tuned for more tech tidbits from yours truly!
