14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh"

Yeh I'm sure I've seen microcode updates pushed via windows update before.. Due so a security issue... Can't remember the details as it's going back a while... Windows 10 era.

Yes, those are controlled by mcupdate_genuineintel.dll (Intel) / mcupdate_authenticamd.dll (AMD) if you remove those files out of the System32 folder it stops the auto updates on both platforms and then you can run a UEFI/BIOS defined MC if your MB supports those features.
 
Finally updated my z790-h to the latest microcode. With all the intel defaults on the 14900k cracked 36k on R23, with the wattage limits increased (I have a full custom loop) and a -0.15v undervolt it hit 40k again so it all seems about the same as before. Now that this is here I'll toy with voltages to see if I can get a tiny bit higher when I have a boredom window. At some point I might go direct die.
 
Hi all, I have been watching buildzoid videos recently on the raptor lake issues. In one of his latest videos on the apex encore he says that a higher voltage is observed with lower LLC level 3 1.100mohms vs LLC level 5 0.73mohms. I presumed one of the main issues was that the AC/DC load lines were set too high. So why would lower values lead to a higher max voltage? Thanks!

My 14900k on Asus Apex Encore with new microcode has 37956, not bad
