Liquid metal still voids warranty for Intel's crash-prone Raptor Lake CPUs

Liquid metal corrosion removes vital CPU markings
The big picture: Enthusiasts looking to push their high-end Raptor Lake or Raptor Lake Refresh Intel processors to the limits might want to think twice before using liquid metal thermal paste. According to a recent report, Intel is voiding warranties for CPUs cooled with this favorite material of overclockers, even if the processors are suffering from crashing issues.

Intel is being sued over the instability issues in its Raptor Lake CPUs

Did Intel know about the problems before release?
What just happened? In a move that pretty much everyone expected, Intel is being sued over the Raptor Lake instability issues, making what has been a nightmare situation for the company even worse. The suit alleges that Intel became aware of the defects in pre- and post-release testing, but it continued to market the processors with boasts about their speed and performance.

Intel's crashing CPU crisis deepens as more models are affected than originally thought

The issue extends beyond enthusiast chips, hinting at a more complex root cause
A hot potato: Intel probably thought the worst was behind them after the company identified the source of the instability surrounding its 13th- and 14th-gen CPUs and promised a patch to address the issue. But new reports say that the patch won't resolve the problems for processors already experiencing crashes. Even worse, whatever the problem is, it affects a broader range of models than previously assumed.

$10,000 cooler designed with AI keeps Core i9-14900KF chilly at 7.5 GHz

Pushing the limits: Enthusiasts are always looking for an edge in the world of overclocking and extreme cooling. In this wild test, the team sought to determine whether advanced GenAI and 3D printing could help them squeeze out more performance from today's processors. To answer this, they built a liquid nitrogen (LN2) container in a whole new way – and arrived at some interesting conclusions.
