Question Unreal blames Intel

[OtherRepix]

EDIT: I've set a Offset on my Global VRM by 0.160000 and this seems to have reduced the core voltage by a tad bit. This is what is considered undervolting right? Just that one needs to be modified and I'm good to go?

EDIT 2: After I reduced the voltage of the CPU.. Grounded crashes INSTANTLY after loading into the game, this didn't happen before, it would eventually crash in game.. But not this time, now instant crash.

So, after I built my Computer with the following specs:

Intel Core i7-13700KF

Asus B760M-Plus TUF

Kingston Fury Beast 32GB DDR5-6000

Kingston NV2 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0

Asus GeForce RTX 4070 12GB Dual OC

Corsair CX750F 750W 80+

I was crashing in games and I was so frustrated for a long time.. Eventually I restarted my entire Windows 11 over again, deleting everything. I went through my BIOS and activated XMP2 and deactivated it blabla to absolutely no avail. So after a while longer I realized.. Only games that uses Unreal Engine crashed.. So the games I spend most of my gaming time with.

Deep Rock Galactic never had issues.. Until a few months later and then it started crashing all the time.
Grounded crashed since day 1 I built it.. Only when using my 4K monitor and going above 1440p
I then bought Pacific Drive cause I just wanted something else to play due to my frustration.. INSTANTLY AS I GOT INTO THE GAMEPLAY IT CRASHED! Didn't even take like a second!


I searched around for a long time until I saw this article:

There are increased reports of crashing in Unreal Engine games, etc. and Epic is blaming Intel chips

Power-hungry, high-clocked CPUs can be a tad unstable if they're not given the right BIOS settings.

That was the hard realization that it was it.. Cause Helldivers 2? The game that so many complains about heating up your computer and crashing often? Yeah not a single issue! 1440p, 60 fps all the time, no stutters, NOTHING! No crashes, none! 30 hours in.. None at all!

Cyberpunk 2077 on REDEngine? No issues at all with 4K and DLSS and everything maxed.

So my biggest question is.. IS there absolutely NO way of fixing this or getting an Update from Older Unreal engines that addresses this issue? Do I absolutely have to mess around with the BIOS and lower the power usage and overall reduce the efficiency of my CPU just to play a few games that I love?

If you are playing at 60FPS like you said than lowering power will increase the efficiency not reduce it, without causing any loss in performance, since you already cut it at 60FPS.

Also you have to do it to make sure that that is the issue.

I added some Edits!

After Vegas also now crashed.. I come to the conclusion.. My CPU is faulty. Clearly.
