That is, disappointingly, not sufficient to guarantee avoiding damage. I set all that in the BIOS using my first processor (13900KF) before ever inserting my replacement processor (14900KF) into the motherboard. The replacement processor still destroyed itself.
Processor 1 used only motherboard defaults and managed to destroy itself.
Processor 2 used only Intel recommended settings, no XMP memory profile, no Intel turbo boost, more conservative than motherboard defaults, and also destroyed itself.
I did not try running a processor for its lifetime at minimum memory speed or with only 1 core active. It's possible that that might be sufficient to avoid damage. If I hadn't already gone AMD over this, and had to use a processor from the affected generations, that's what I'd be doing now until Intel comes out with their update. Not gonna do much by way of fancy gaming, but at least the system's usable and hopefully won't destroy itself.
