Intel's return and exchange procedure for the 14900K model.
Intel's return and exchange procedure for the 14900K model.
Did you file a return request with Intel for a 13th/14th gen CPU issue? How did the process go? Were there many rejections? I just started a support ticket for my 14900K and am unsure about my next steps—whether to request a refund, upgrade to a lower model, or switch teams.
It seems unlikely Intel will provide more than a standard replacement. If you need a refund, contacting the retailer might be the best option. However, if only part of your CPU is unstable, their testing could miss it. I’d favor a refund since we’re unsure about the issues, their prevalence, and whether they can resolve them.
I didn't note that I had return protection on my credit card for the purchase.
