Question On my third i9 13900k - I've just upgraded my BIOS to the 0x12B patch. Would this be enough to fix the degrading CPUs?

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.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, mode, watttage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Attached peripherals?

Primary use of PC?

What are the qualifications of "a couple of people" ??
How do they compare to the qualifications of Intel engineers.
Conspiracy theorists say you can't trust Intel.
But.. then who can you trust?

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.
