Is Intel 12th-Gen Alder Lake CPU really flawed?

The 12th generation Core processor has been used for a long time, and the top cover has become bent. Intel responded: it will not cause major problems.

People who have used 12th generation Core processors, is your chip bent?

It turned out that after the 12th-generation Core Alder Lake was upgraded to the LGA1700 interface, the processor and socket were both rectangular, and the uneven pressure on some radiators would cause the middle part of the processor to be under high pressure, which may cause the processor to deform slightly over time.

The function is not affected, but the contact area between the top cover and the radiator will be reduced, thus weakening the heat dissipation effect.

As a result, some DIY enthusiasts designed their own gaskets to circumvent the above problems.

In this regard, Intel responded that the IHS (integrated heat dissipation, in fact, the “top cover”) of the 12th-generation Core has not received complaints beyond the design, and there may be slight deformation after installation, but this deviation is expected, There will be no problem.

Intel also recommends that users do not make any magic changes to the top cover or heat dissipation department by themselves, otherwise the warranty will be lost if unexpected problems occur .

In addition, when Intel communicated with the media, it also denied that the deformation of the top cover will further lead to the deformation of the motherboard and other consequences. Please use it with confidence.
