14900k seems to be failing

[jdamon]

I'd appreciate any advice about my issue, thanks! I built a system with a 14900k + Z790 Apex (White) + 2x16 GB G.Skill ddr5 7800 + Corsair i1600 PSU + Corsair Link 420 AIO +2 Samsung 990Pros. The CPU is not a great bin with V/F 8 of 1.413v and everything higher @ 1.493v. But I have been running with the stock config + XMP and OCTVB +1 for a couple months with no problems and good temps (kept the Intel Power limits of 253 in place). But last week I started to get BSoDs, system restarts, and frequent programs crashes. Using Event Viewer and the program Who Crashes (just a dump file reader) I can see that all of the errors are cpu related and when I ran Cinebench r23 a few times the scores where half of what they were just last month. I am on Windows 11 and I normally use Process Lasso and Park Control, although I turned them off for the last few days to see if an incorrect setting had been the cause of my problems. Sadly that wasn't the answer. Again this chip pulls a lot of vcore by default, and refuses to run with any undervolting but lately it has been acting as though I have some unstable overclock despite it running basically stock. And it seems to be getting worse. Any help would be great, thanks!
