  1. New Intel i9 developed faulty cores, anyone else have this?

    It certainly could be the contact frame. I am using the first gen one with the 0.06Nm torque spec. I actually used a torque wrench too... But that is extremely low torque and could probably loosen from the type of moving and shaking one does when trying to work out all the air pockets in a...

  2. New Intel i9 developed faulty cores, anyone else have this?

    Thanks for the update, Placebo. Best of luck fixing the pins- totally doable but delicate work. Good news so far on my front- with Cores 8/9 disabled I seem to have returned to a semblance of stability. No BSODs through multiple restarts or overnight. I don’t think there should be physical...

  3. New Intel i9 developed faulty cores, anyone else have this?

    Yes. I even used Revo Uninstaller for 7-zip. Tested on two different OS installs even. Have now disabled Cores 8/9 (Technically P-Core 4 in BIOS because of hyper-threading; ironically one of the 'preferred cores'). Going to use it in this config and see if it stabilizes until I can RMA.

  4. New Intel i9 developed faulty cores, anyone else have this?

    I actually did have ASUS approve an RMA on a mobo with a couple bent pins from another machine... A couple years back. They even mentioned it on the diagnostic form for the replacement, even though it ran fine and I RMA'd it for entirely different reasons. Judging by recent posts on Reddit I...

  5. New Intel i9 developed faulty cores, anyone else have this?

    Disabling cores 8 & 9 is a great idea, at least until these issues are resolved. I will probably initiate an RMA through Intel for the CPU. If it gets approved, I'll consider that reason enough to tear down the loop. While the mobo is out of the case, I will inspect the MOBO for damaged pins...

  6. New Intel i9 developed faulty cores, anyone else have this?

    OK, I guess post editing is time limited, and I realize I may be committing a cardinal sin by double posting, but I discovered what I believe to be important troubleshooting info. Basically, I disconnected the GPU altogether (PCI riser + power), booted into Windows 11 via RUFUS USB + iGPU, and...

  7. New Intel i9 developed faulty cores, anyone else have this?

    I registered just to add to this discussion. I had exactly the same set of issues as the OP using a ASUS Maximus Z690 Extreme + 13900KS: Failed NVidia driver Installs. I went through the exact same troubleshooting steps of setting the affinity for the different install attempts, and just like...
