RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

I made a similar mistake once with my old i7 920 - fucker was bulletproof, except the thermal paste was so dry, when I took the heatsink off, it had turned to dust.

What I'm hearing from tech YouTubers is that you can tame it by manually typing the correct power limits for your CPU into BIOS settings because the defaults are... not that. And this is apparently not the SI's or mobo OEM's faults because Intel is giving them the different numbers to set.

I'm not saying it isn't stupid but at least there's something to do about it.
