The Intel 285K CPU in my high-end 2025 Linux PC died again! 😡 Notably, this was the replacement CPU for the original 285K that died in March, and after reading through the reviews of Intel CPUs on my electronics store of choice, many of which (!) mention CPU replacements, I am getting the impression that Intel’s current CPUs just are not stable 😞. Therefore, I am giving up on Intel for the coming years and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D CPU instead.

    What are you pairing it to? What CPU?

    I wrote the CPU and GPU in the very first comment…

    I already bought these components and built the computer already. 😄 It’s a pretty much maximum spec’d AMD system, and I’m privileged to buy the parts tax free through work, so I just went ham.

    The only thing is that my 3900X in my previous build was running about 39–42°C idle, so I was worried I’d made some kind of error with the cooling paste or messed up the mounting of the cooler or something.

    you were testing me to see what I knew. LOL.

    Definitely not; was genuinely a bit concerned, that’s all.
