Nope. The blame was on mobo makers with their auto OC and high voltage.
So the mobo makers were to blame, for the +0.1v overvolt, when the CPU detects AVX/AVX2 instructions? That wasn't a built-in mechanism from Intel? Interesting...
Edit: Kind of funny, that if it were the mobo makers forcing the CPU out of spec with overvolting "at stock", and the CPU subsequently throttling under full Prime95 AVX load, that Intel never took any actions against mobo makers to fix the issue, when it was Intel that ended up looking bad because of it.
And of course, this factor that the highest-end K Haswell SKUs were overheating and throttling on the stock heatsink, had NOTHING to do with the fact that on Skylake, Intel no longer even supplies a stock heatsink with their K SKUs, right?
Edit: And of course, if this was all mobo makers fault, then why did Intel make a point of changing the TIM used in the D.C. chips, and even advertising that fact?
