Also, if it does have this problem, won't Undervolting help prevent the issue? 

@ejn63​ Thank you for replying. I did some research and found people saying what you did, and others saying the opposite. I'm just worried because this is the most expensive laptop I've ever bought. 

What I wrote is what Intel has publicly released.  If you're worried, and it's worth the 15% restocking charge to you, you can return the system and hold until Intel releases an official fix (or look for a notebook without the issue, with an AMD Ryzen CPU).

@ejn63​ Do you have any idea how much it would cost if it does get damaged and I want it replaced (just off the top of your head, don't bother researching)? Would the warranty cover this?

Thank you for your help. 

The mainboard would need to be replaced, and given the system that's probably well over $1,000 just for the part, or double that if it has a 4090 GPU aboard.   The warranty should cover any failure not caused by the user.

@ejn63​ Thank you for your continued help. 

This 14900HX / m18 R2 is 100% affected. I have a system that is affected. 

Also there are some posts from some users on the Dell community forums that have had two system exchanges with the same issues. 

I believe in fairness this was before the BIOS update and there is a chance that using a system that doesnt have the microcode update could cause damage to the CPU. 

Since the defect is in the CPU, replacing the mainboard will help by possibly giving a CPU that has not been damaged, however it still will be an affected CPU can could get damaged. This is still a very early issue, not all of the facts are known.

Hello. I just purchased the m18 r2. I am wondering if the I9-14900HX is experiencing the voltage problem that Intel hasn't fixed yet. At least I don't think that they've fixed it-or does the latest BIOS include a fix? 

Thank you.
