Question Is the Intel fix just an issue of updating the motherboard bios?

Hello, I just received a replacement 14900k CPU from Intel, as the 13900k had burned out due to the infamous issues with them. The first thing I did was update the bios of the motherboard, RoG Hero Maximum 790z, to the latest. I expected everything to finally be fine, but now the computer is once again cutting power when placed under load - just as it had with the previous CPU. I'm not getting blue screens, but I'm concerned I may be killing this CPU too now.

Was the Intel 13th - 14th gen fix just an issue of updating the bios on the motherboard or was there something else involved?
