new big problem guys
The new microcode BIOS doesn't fix the voltage issues if you don't use the Intel Default Profile. If you use any other settings like motherboard default or your own custom settings, then the VID tables will go back to requesting crazy voltages
So when people claim the new microcode doesn't reduce performance, that's because the new microcode doesn't work unless you use the Intel Default profile, which of course does reduce performance
Buildzoid highlight's that there's an issue with this board and processor and I dont think he says anything about other boards.
Anything outside the Intel default profile is now on the motherboard vendor's to fix if other profiles are casusing issues as motherboard vendors have been lucky as they dodged a lot of the accountability during this though they've been doing shady stuff going way back to the z490 boards and I'm sure they have done the same on AMD as one recent instance is their chips blowing up.
Brain is using the bios'es CPU voltage setting to determine when the CPU voltage enters a unsafe setting which is above 1.296 with his board. My MSI board the voltage will go all the way up to 1.490 before it goes red so had he had a MSI board his 13900K would have been fine?![]()
Intel is Stalling HARD with 0x129 Microcode, which is a BAND-AID Fix! (and here's why - deep dive)
Intel have promised to help fix the issues relating to instability issues spanning from 13th and 14th gen CPUs, however checking out VDD_CPU, IMC, VID and Vc...youtu.be
The microcode fix should cap the voltage from going over 1.5 volts with Brian's 13900K it's hitting a max of 1.412 which seems fine to me.
