I’m dealing with the 14th gen issues firsthand, and it's frustrating. My system, only 2 months old, is almost unusable for gaming. Here's my build:
Motherboard: MSI Z790 MPG Edge TI Max WIFI
CPU: i5 14600K
GPU: MSI 4060 Ventus 8GB OC
Memory: TEAMGROUP T Force 16GB 6000MHz x2 (locked to 4800MHz)
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 500GB
2nd Drive: Samsung 980 Pro 500GB
I built this system for my wife, who enjoys low-demand games like Terraria and TF2. A few weeks ago, we started experiencing constant crashes in both games. Lowering the clock speed in the BIOS temporarily improved stability, but the crashes returned.
After reading articles and watching the GN video from July 11th, I’ve decided to switch to a Ryzen CPU and motherboard combo. Intel's handling of this issue has lost me as a customer.
