If you suspect it has been damaged, you should try to get a replacement. Considering what has been happening with them, I would suspect damage if there were stability issues in Prime95.

If you do get a replacement, don't use it until the microcode has been updated in your BIOS.

Thanks for the response. As I said, I’m aware RMA they just announced, current mitigations, bios updates and using Prime95 to test stability. I’m not seeing crashes with Prime95 since tweaking and eventually installing the latest ASUS bios with included microcode update. I have seen a crash in PrusaSlicer on occasion. Which is making me wonder.

Anyway, I was trying to understand if there’s an official test, software or process to determine if damage has occurred.

It seems there’s not.

I was reading somewhere that Intel will publish a tool to verify that.
