While reading the Wikipedia article about Intel's 14th-generation processors, I came across an interessing section:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor_Lake#Instability_and_degradation_issue
It led me to a related article on Tom's Hardware:
[...]
The bug causes irreversible degradation of the impacted processors.
We're told that the microcode patch will not repair processors
already experiencing crashes, but it is expected to prevent issues
on processors that aren't currently impacted by the issue. For now,
it is unclear if CPUs exposed to excessive voltage have suffered
from invisible degradation or damage that hasn't resulted in
crashes yet but could lead to errors or crashes in the future.
Intel advises all customers having issues to seek help from its
customer support. Because the microcode update will not repair
impacted processors, the company will continue to replace them.
Intel has pledged to grant RMAs to all impacted customers.

→ But first of all, I would make sure whether your system is actually affected by this CPU degradation issue.
Best regards,
Klaus.
