I'm relatively new to this tech scene and I heard about some significant issues with the Intel i9 CPUs, where the chipset could eventually damage the processor over time. This was a while back, so I'm curious if the issue has been resolved. Should someone looking to upgrade consider buying an i9 right now? Are there specific steps I should take to ensure my new CPU stays safe? I'm weighing my options between the i9-14th gen and AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X, but I'm leaning more towards the i9 despite my initial hesitations due to the past issues.

Yes, Intel released BIOS updates a while ago that address the chipset issues. So if you’re thinking about getting an i9, it’s now considered safe since they’ve patched the problems.
I heard someone mention setting the iccmax limit and some tweaks for IA LL AC/DC in Discord. Can you explain what those mean?
