Are you experiencing overheating or CPU degradation with Intel's LGA 1700 socket CPUs? In this video, I review the Intel Core i5-13600K after a full year of use and discuss how I fixed my CPU bending issue using the Thermalright CPU frame. This is a real solution that saved me from performance drops and potential CPU damage. I also cover the broader issue affecting Intel’s LGA 1700 socket, which has been officially acknowledged by Intel and remains a concern even with the latest 13th and 14th Gen CPUs.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
- What the Intel LGA 1700 CPU bending issue is, and how it causes thermal throttling and degradation.
- How I installed the Thermalright CPU frame without needing to disassemble my entire PC, making it an easy and efficient fix.
- The unboxing of the Thermalright frame and why I chose it over the more expensive Thermal Grizzly frame.
- My experience with the Intel 13600K after a year of use with the standard CPU socket handler and how bending has impacted its performance.
- Why this bending issue is not limited to the LGA 1700 socket, and why I expect it to be a problem in the future LGA 1851 socket CPUs.
Additionally, I discuss Intel microcode updates (0x129 and 0x12B) and how they might affect CPU performance. We’ll also look at popular motherboard brands like MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, and ASRock, which may offer specific BIOS settings to help prevent overheating and CPU degradation.
Lastly, if you're considering undervolting your Intel CPU for better thermal performance, make sure to like this video and leave a comment-I’m working on the Ultimate Guide to Undervolting, so stay tuned!
🔧 Thermalright Frame on Sale: Only $1.66 on AliExpress! I purchased this independently without any influence from the company, and it’s the perfect budget solution to fix Intel's bending issue without sacrificing performance.
