Should I RMA my 13900KF?

Hi, as with most people who own a 13th or 14th gen CPU I experienced a crash playing a Unreal Engine 5 game (Tekken with the out of memory error. I'm concerned whether the chip has suffered any damage due to these instability problems currently plaguing Intel.

 

I have enabled Intels default power profiles and since then I haven't experienced any more crashes but I'm still concerned about the CPU potentially dying in the future.

I've also updated to the latest BIOS but I'm just not sure whether I should begin the RMA process for this CPU.

 

I know Intel will be releasing a Microcode update for these processors soon but I've read that even with this update it probably won't fix the issue if the CPU has already been damaged.

If you have no issues, that is fine. Still, i suggest to wait for the update and make sure everything is set to intel default settinngs.
