    If you use this hardware, I would reconsider playing any game that uses kernel level anticheat. It would only take one of them to get compromised to brick your machine.

    This malware persists between new OS installs. You'd need to reflash your CPU and I think only factories have that equipment.

    AMD still rocks, don't let this dissuade you from buying them over intel/nvidia
