13700k on msi 690, Nh-D15, 32gb 6400/C32, 3080 ftw3, 850w ti
I forgot all about the intel 13/14 gen issues, as mine doesn't crash. I just came across it again (too busy for too long, but that's done tg).
I see everyone screaming to update your bios right away! Few go on to mention that you need to select the profile for Intel default voltages etc after that.
So here's my take: Why do I want these idiots dictating my voltages again - especially as I've read that after this "fix" the chips run much hotter and throttle.
When I decided/just gave up and bought this, I knew it was halfway to an igniter. I had no intention of letting do what it wanted. When I went to poke around whilst learning to undervolt it, I saw stupidly high voltages - just like I've seen with other Intel builds for over a decade. But I also found MSI's Lite Load tool, aaaand no need to learn too much about undervolting. Picked almost or the lowest stable mode, got within 500pts of r23 cpu default score at 10C cooler, no throttling, called it job done.
So I have never crashed how they say, (or at all since initial setup), zero instability, I'm permanently and ideally undervolted. I can't see any reason to change the bios or my voltage profile. Maybe the microcode without their new voltages prevents problems without causing new ones? I have been absent in focus for a while, so I thought I'd check with those in the know.
To install new bios and/or profile or just stay with what seems to be pretty damn solid? Thanks.
