Intel says NO!!
If you've got an Intel Core i9 processor (especially a Core i9-14900K or 13900K) then you might have noticed some stuttering and stability issues. This includes games losing frame rates, being unstable or crashing a lot.
Turns out it's your processor, but it's the motherboard that's the problem. You might have seen some of this in the news!
