From EVGA today (08/21): "We currently do not have any updates to report and we are waiting to hear from Intel."

That is not super helpful (from them, not you)...sounds like they are pushing this off on Intel somehow. Or maybe they mean, Intel hasn't forced us to do anything yet lol.

There's an update of sorts on the other thread just now:

Thank you everyone for your patience as we are in contact with Intel, and we are looking into this further with our team. 
 
We will update everyone once more information becomes available.

 
Perhaps stick to that thread from here on out?

Here we go Again, 26 September ---> yet another "root cause" found by Intel .... no really this time, they swear it fixes the real cause

Is Intel's nightmare finally over? One last patch could fix 13th-gen and 14th-gen CPU instability issues

"One might have thought all the Intel stability issue malarkey was behind us, given the official 0x129 microcode fix came out back in August. However, although this update was supposed to fix the issue, it wasn't a root cause fix.
Now, Intel's releasing a proper root cause fix for affected 13th and 14th Gen CPUs in its 0x12B microcode update. This update "addresses elevated voltage requests by the processor during idle and/or light activity periods" which have been narrowed down to being caused by a particular "clock tree circuit within the IA core". 
 
In other words, Intel's narrowed down the problem to a particular circuit within the bulk of the CPU that houses all the P- and E-Cores. The problem is, as we already knew, a Vmin one, where voltage spikes cause the minimum operating voltage to increase over time as the CPU requires more and more power to remain stable, which increases degradation."
