Right now, there isn’t a foolproof way to check if your Intel gaming CPU has been damaged by the Vmin Shift Instability issues that have plagued Intel’s Raptor Lake processors. Intel has confirmed that it doesn’t have a reliable tool available to test CPUs that might have been damaged following the voltage instability problems that have popped up over the last year.
This is bad news, both for Intel and consumers who own the company’s 13th and 14th-gen Core CPUs, simply adding to the pressure the company has faced this year. The chip maker only recently issued a permanent Intel CPU fix for undamaged Raptor Lake processors, after many of the best gaming CPU designs made by the company were found to be causing stability problems in games based on the Unreal Engine.
