cck_my Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Intel has identified an issue that potentially affects the 6th Gen Intel® Core™ family of products. This issue only occurs under certain complex workload conditions, like those that may be encountered when running applications like Prime95. In those cases, the processor may hang or cause unpredictable system behavior. Intel has identified and released a fix and is working with external business partners to get the fix deployed through BIOS. http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/01/intel-skylake-bug-causes-pcs-to-freeze-during-complex-workloads/ https://communities.intel.com/mobile/mobile-access.jspa#jive-content?content=%2Fapi%2Fcore%2Fv3%2Fcontents%2F524553 Quote

TASOS Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I dont think the bios work arround is the right thing to do. Funny thing is , they already released a newer stepping at late Oct 2015 Now they have to make a newer one. RMA purpose My cpu freezes during 768k FFT length calculations on Prime95 Quote
speed.fastest Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I don't think any human run Prime95 for daily usage Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 12, 2016 Crew Posted January 12, 2016 So this is how they're disguising they're non-K type overclocking c ockblock Exactly my thoughts... Quote
sin0822 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 The guy who found this issue and brought it to attention said hes a German overclocker who had access to 200+ Skylake CPUs, anyone know who he is? Quote
sin0822 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 ahh okay cool, just didn't know who it was Quote
