Corrosion is their smallest problem, they overheat and fries due to high voltage, high clocking on a too compact area. Meanwhile if you buy an AMD CPU even the standard cooler included in the box can cool their high end CPU's. But intels standard cooler can't even cool down their cheaper models because it's rubbish.

Yea, I think it was so bad in fact that even with proper cooling, the problem exist. They just delay it for a few months or years, long enough for the warranty to expire. Something about the pins being to close to each others so that power can jump between them, flipping bits. A major design flaw.
But random crashes will turn even the most die hard performance chaser away.
