Changing a generation for Intel used to be tick-tock. It is now flip-flop.

Intel patch? What patch? Those beta bioses from mobo manufacturers are no patch, nope.

This is just a start.

Thank you for the last one, I know exactly which user to apply this option to.

Don't feed the troll. Ignoring them is the best medicine.

AMD: let's see how much the performance decreases after the microcode update, Intel. Then we can crush you even harder.

Personally, I haven't yet decided what to do with the cpu and the motherboard as I'm figuring out what Intel will or will not do. There is another option involving the online store from which the cpu was bought from, which I haven't yet wanted to explore. Some people might start selling their...

Sent a support query to Intel is this is their reply. They offered a "standard warranty replacement," which means I send the CPU to Intel for examination and then receive a replacement CPU afterward. According to them, the wait time is 7 business days. What can one say? How can one be without a...

You can have my case. A 13700KF was installed in January 2023, run under Noctua NH-D15 with stock settings and -0.11V undervolted to avoid thermal throttling from day one. The machine is primarily used for work and a little gaming. Three or four weeks ago I played a bit of gta 5 online and got a...

Actually I must apologize to everyone who took their time to look into my problem. The PSU is in fact a 760 W model, namely an SS-760KM. This wasn't intentional, by any means. Discovered this by accident, since two 8-pin CPU power cables are included, and not one, as is for the 660 W model...

By the way guys, do you find the psu mentioned above to be too old, i.e. might it be too worn out to perform at the spec with the new hardware?

Thanks for sharing the thoughts. My thinking as well. Guess the only thing left to do is to try another psu, reattach the bios battery, etc. After that - rma time.

Did that too. Tried booting with cpu/cooler/ram installed. No cigar. It will only boot via pressing the BIOS update button on the back panel. Will not boot via case power button or shorting the power pins on the mobo. Such a weird behavior.

Dear forum members, The motherboard in question can’t boot by using the case power button or by shorting the power pins on the board. The only way to boot the board is to have a usb drive with a BIOS file connected to the usb bios port and pressing the BIOS update button on the backpanel. It...
