i9 14900k (high voltage)
- Thread starter Loxa
- Start date
He is using an intel profile, apparently the first one out of 3 you can select.
Ahhh ok, thanks for the information
That's vid just what the cpu is requesting, what about the cpu voltage at the top showing 1.6v?
That is an MSI labelled sensor I'm not sure what it actually is, it is probably not the voltage actually going to the CPU.
This, 1.6V is what's going to the CPU and that is high. Your friend will want to dig into the bios settings and fix that. How exactly depends on which model of motherboard.

I was getting too high voltages with my 14700k. I updated to the latest bios and new microcode and found that my voltages were still too high even with the intel settings.
I’ve fixed it now by setting perfdrive to optimisation, voltage now doesn’t go above 1.4v. That’s with a gigabyte motherboard though.

Does he have the latest microcode (0x12B) installed? That is supposed to address all of the issues that were causing/accelerating degradation.
The hwmonitor i linked in the first post above is after a bios update and on default profile. Below is the bios he used.

Hello, I am the guy who is having the issue. If there is anything i can do & post here please let me know.
appreciate your time.
appreciate your time.
First thing I would do is make sure the bios is fully up to date.
MSi has not yet released a final BIOS with the latest Microcode, here is a reddit thread complaining about it https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/1g13u5p/intel_0x12b_microcode/
You may be able to find a beta BIOS with the latest microcode.
Once they do release a final BIOS, download the BIOS and then use the Intel default profile.

Wow, well that is annoying

make sure he has the latest bios of course:
I believe MSI bios's (possibly not all i dont know)
have this kind of option:
as various guides etc are around, undervolting is also a common tweak with 14th gen.
but the simplest way is to limit max voltage with one setting. 1.4V would do the trick probably.

This option is in the latest BIOS with the 0x12B microcode update released two days ago for my MSI Pro z690-A DDR4 and I set mine to 1.4 though monitoring with HWiNFO mine never goes above around 1.189 before and after setting it to 1.4vmake sure he has the latest bios of course:
