This year's worst PC hardware components and events were, as ever, of many different types. We had "innocent" failures like the MSI Claw, the Corsair ONE i500 and 6500D case, and the RTX 40 Super GPUs with AMD's RX 7600 XT. But the key disappointments of the year were far worse: Intel's oxidation, instability, and degradation issues with its 14th and 13th gen of CPUs were the company's biggest failure in decades. ASUS' RMA and warranty service felt like a scam when we filed for one. NZXT's "Flex" rental program, including the follow-up update, showed us a look at a future of "you'll own nothing." We'll talk about all of that in our 2024 recap, but also some of the best things for the year.
