Intel acknowledges that elevated voltages can permanently damage 13th and 14th Gen 65W+ desktop CPUs. Despite an upcoming patch in August to prevent further damage, any existing harm will remain irreversible.
The company is also examining the stability of mobile CPUs and exploring methods to identify affected desktop CPU batches. While Intel will not recall the affected processors, they do offer to replace damaged CPUs through RMA.
Users are advised to await the patch release in late August and use default power settings in the meantime to maintain stability. Monitoring for potential instability, especially evident through crashes in games, is recommended for affected users.
