@Lutfij Motherboard is a GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX. BIOS Version is F13. I'm not sure about the 14th Gen upgrade, I might have to ask Intel if they would allow it. @dwd999 CPU Cooler is GIGABYTE Aorus Waterforce X360 AIO Liquid Cooler. I have fans in the front and back, case shoots out air through...

This is my third i9 - replaced it after I updated the BIOS to the 0x12B microcode patch. After a couple of Unreal Engine games started to crash on me, I got a bit paranoid about the CPU degrading again, and at the suggestion of Intel Support on /r/Intel I ran Intel XTU's CPU stress test for 30...

Yep, found that thanks to a couple of redditors. Was a very frustrating couple of days of troubleshooting. I had to go into the BIOS and disable C8 and C10 c-states. I forgot to update the post, my bad.

Thanks, I did upgrade to the F12 bios the moment I got the new CPU and put the "Intel Default Setting" to Performance. After this I should be good right? Also I've another question - I cannot disable "Multicore Enhancement" in BIOS if the Intel Default Settings are chosen. Should I temporarily...

I've read how it is a voltage issue, and even after the BIOS update the voltage was exceeding the safe limit. So I got a little paranoid.

Sorry, should've included it. Specs: MBD: GIGABYTE Z790 UD AX CPU: i9-13900K GPU: RTX 4090 RAM: 32GB RAM Storage: 500GB SSD/1TB SSD/4TB HDD PSU: EVGA 1300 GT 80 GOLD All new parts, no refurbished ones. Primary use is gaming. No extra attached peripherals. Purchased on April 2023. Windows 11...

I'm asking this because a couple of people online are saying that 0x12B patch isn't enough and you need to manually undervolt/change some settings in the BIOS. To be frank, all of that sounded a bit too technical for me, so I'd rather not mess around in the BIOS settings and brick my PC.

No I did not overclock. I'm very tech illiterate, so I do not mess around with overclocking/undervolting in fear of breaking something. I already RMA'd the CPU previously and got a new one which has been running fine for a year. Purchased PC on April 2023, CPU started failing in July when...

It has been a nightmare the past few days. My PC would just randomly go black and reboot. Event Viewer always showed it as "Event ID 41 - Kernel Power". I've tested my memory, PSU and CPU and everything was fine. I even clean installed Windows to no avail. I scoured the internet for a fix until...

Ok, I just ran sfc /scannow as admin and it said "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them". Could that be the cause of this? Never mind, it happened again.

There's no rhyme or reason to this crash/rebooting. I was working on my laptop with a single Microsoft Edge tab open on the desktop when it rebooted. I don't even see a blue screen of death. It just goes black and restarts. First time it happened when a Steam game was updating. These are the...

Thank you. I did update the BIOS and everything went swimmingly except for one weird issue where I lost my Windows license and had to re-activate it through the troubleshooter. After the RMA the new CPU has been good so far, I've ran a few shader compilation sequences in UE games with no issues...

Hey thanks for the quick reply and for the video link, seems relatively easy to follow for a complete beginner. Do I have to tinker with the Intel ME Software or will the BIOS update apply the microcode fix by itself?

Hey y'all, I'm not a big PC guy, been a console gamer my entire life with a fairly capable laptop to play Civ 6 and a few Paradox games. Decided to buy a new PC and installed an i9 13900k with it. Within like a month, two Unreal Engine games started crashing. Thankfully the store that built the...

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I could go lower in length since my setup is in the hall too. I was buying 15m just to be on the safer side.
