New microcode fix for 13th/14th gen. Thoughts?

[Gorbash12346]

Just wondering how everyone else is fairing with the new microcode (honest it's fixed this time)
I've had my replacement 13900K for a couple of weeks (took over 2 months to get replaced) and initially it was 'ok' occassionaly it would boost to 5.8ghz on 2x cores with temps maxing out around 78 degrees C but since applying this update it will not boost either of the preferred cores above 5.5 at any point and the remaining cores are dropping back below 5ghz when it does. Thats a significant performance loss is it not?

I'm also getting issues with running my audio interface for my guitar with significant audio drop out where I had none previously. I've had to resort to using my I7-10750H laptop for all guitar stuff which is really not ok.

Anyone else having similar issues? any suggestions?

Yes. Thats the one.

@Gorbash12346 ?! As in… Flight of the Dragons?! Great username

It is indeed. Nobody seems to recognise it.

I'm still getting audio drop-outs on my 13900k/ z790 extreme. I'm trying to see if latencymon will log something while I'm running Rocksmith 2014 or + (both of them are doing it so I doubt it's not hardware related and nothing else has changed bar the BIOS revisions.)

Anybody have any suggestions for other software I can use to keep an eye on execution times etc?

I notice that now my BIOS revision has been labelled a Beta (It wasn't when i downloaded it.)

Thanks!


*edit* I've just seen they pulled the 2602 version and have released a new 2703 BIOS for my motherboard. Fingers crossed it helps as I'm completely fed up with the whole thing at the moment.

Well I thought that everything was peachy.
BIOS version 2703 seems to have sorted my audio drop-out issues. Only I now find I have a new gremlin to deal with.

Playing Satisfactory and I keep getting a blank screen for a few seconds and then it comes back up with the monitor settings etc like the input has just been recognised.
not accompanied with a sudden fan speed increase though. Not sure if related or just coincidence but I had been running it for weeks before this with no issue.
Any thoughts before I give up entirely?
