Note: Some stability issues have been observed with multithreading on Intel i9 14900k and 13900k CPUs. Sonnet does not recommend these CPUs for new hardware purchases, and advises any users with affected CPUs to install the latest BIOS updates and Intel microcode updates which help address the issue.
