It actually ended up just being overclocked in the BIOS by default, due to GIGABYTE PerfDrive profiles, even with the Intel default settings. I've turned down the clock speeds and undervolted so all good now.

Fair enough, that makes sense. Was worth looking into regardless as it made me notice the Current throttling even on idle, which I think even I can deduce isn't normal :sweatsmile:

Have this sorted now, can do a full multithreaded Cinebench run without any throttling and decent score. - Disabled Intel Defaults in BIOS - Disabled MCE - Small Undervolt and brought down to 5.4GHz

Managed to at least fix the constant Current/EDP Throttling by disabling Intel default settings in BIOS, currently just running using a GIGABYTE PerfDrive config with MCE off, no longer throttles on idle. Still not perfect, will need to look at the OC settings as perfdrive is automatically OCing

I did consider a larger AIO however after some research saw that this may be good enough for now and i'd look to invest in one later. I did just try resetting the CMOS, and also setting the "Intel Profile" to performance as it was previously on extreme. Of course i'm not looking to run this CPU...

Hi, Just last night I replaced my i7-13700kf (Fried through 8 months of abuse with the Intel stuff) with a new i9-14900k. The system runs fine and at first I didn't notice any problems, it's completely usable and doesn't crash. The throttling is clear during benchmarks/stress tests. Intel XTU...

Didn't work, couldn't get the RGB to turn on at all through the software and it didn't turn on when first starting the PC either.

So i've had my current setup for over a year and my RAM has been working fine, I don't usually look at it but I noticed that my Trident Z RGB lights have not been working for the past couple months when I turn on my PC. I can manually turn them on by launching the Trident Z RGB software and...

Using Streamlabs OBS, have tried streaming Rainbow Six Siege past days and my stream always drops frames. The stream drops frames hard, audio stays smooth and the in-game FPS is completely fine. The only fix I have found is using 2 frame V-Sync in game which halves my FPS in game and stops the...
