I'm using a 13700k with 253w TDP limit in the bios. So far I haven't experienced and crashing when gaming. I think the problem is mostly from people running 4096w TDP limit.

I'm also running an i7-13700k and have had ZERO crashes that weren't obviously from trying to run some really old game on new hardware. I haven't messed with the stock tune.

Intel will replace impacted units but doesn't plan a recall.

No recall (yet, anyway) but from what I've read it sounds like Intel is replacing processors that are already damaged.
As I said before, I haven't experienced any crashes, but sample size of 1 and all that. In any case, BIOS update is happening shortly...

Intel could be on the hook for a huge recall, update can't undo high voltage damage that microcode allowed

Wouldn't surprise me if it happens. For now it looks they're replacing under warranty.
