That's not my interpretation. Cf the following:

> For MSI:

> Solution A): In BIOS, select "OC", select "CPU Core Voltage Mode", select "Offset Mode", select "+(By PWM)", adjust the voltage until the system is stable, recommend not to exceed 0.025V for a single increase.

This really sounds like the Intel defaults are broken too.

Yes, that or insufficient quality checks, meaning some units will fail, some will work. Apparently it was only a subset of each model failing.

>default overclock too much

Per the article MSI literally suggests to OC the CPU to fix the problem

Article recommends disabling overclocking. The MSI recommendation is only to increase voltage.

It's MCE all over again
