They're ticked because Intel basically shrugged off the temperature spikes as being normal, and telling them to run their unlocked CPUs at stock settings rubs salt in the wound.Intel is expected to launch Kaby Lake to the desktop in January. However, that isn't the part that has users all riled up.
Intel has also never stated that it would warranty processors that have been overclocked or over-volted (though it does offer an overclocking warranty as a separate purchase). Another motivating factor is to replace the stock thermal compound that Intel uses between the die and IHS. Removing the IHS can also render certain coolers incompatible, as they were designed with the height of the IHS in mind. One reason this is done so that cooling solutions can be applied directly to the CPU die, but it's a risky procedure that can result in a dead chip. To Intel's credit, some users experiencing the issue have admitted to de-lidding their processors. I'm going to sell my Intel stuff and go to Ryzen," yet another user wrote. However, after Intel's response just now, they are not getting another penny out of me. "I don't even have the major issue like everyone else is having. You know what, never mind, this would be my last product from Intel," the user wrote.Īnother user called Intel's response "BS," noting that "some 7700K run even hotter than an AMD Bulldozer overclocked at 5GHz." "Three months waiting for Intel to come out with a solution, and now this?! This is all you can say?! We know already what you've just said. The first response to Intel's post is from a ticked off customer who has sworn off Intel products. The TL DR version is that everything checks out on Intel's end and users should not overclocked their Core i7-7700K processors, which have unlocked multipliers specifically for overclocking.Īs you might imagine, Intel's response did not sit well with users. These actions will void the processor warranty." We do not recommend running outside the processor specifications, such as by exceeding processor frequency or voltage specifications, or removing of the integrated heat spreader (sometimes called 'de-lidding').
