Intel has a problem... More crashing and stability issues for new CPUs

[@DeanRockne]

As a 3D artist, I'm flabbergasted that any performance mobo vendor would say Cinebench is unrealistic. Cinebench is literally recreating a typical workload I have, but for shorter durations. I'd like to think vendors selling me performance hardware to do that job actually design to be stable with that load.

[@lir4e]

For the 13700k I disabled the enhanced mode, set PL1 and PL2 to 253w, set adaptive vcore and I used -0.100 for the vcore offset. You can get away with the vcore between -0.080 to -0.050 for the vcore. I went -0.100 to have a cooler system. I tested it and got 31k on Cinebench R23 (same results as stock) but about -15 degrees less compared to stock. Very happy about it. Side note: I swapped the stock Intel CPU holder with a proper on from Thermaltake when building up my PC to avoid cpu bending and get better cooling.

[@HexerPsy]

If you use XTU to tweak the PL1 and 2 limits live you can fine tune when the cooler + cpu combo becomes thermally limited and starts throttling. Set that as your limit, set iccMax at intels recommended max. Then check if minimum voltages are on in your mobo bios (XTU will not show negative voltage offsets if its on). This setting prevents undervolting in the name of ensuring stability. Thats how I went about it on my 14700K.

7980XE is a fantastic chip but yeah the memory issues are indeed legendary bad. Once you get it going, it's a monster and still pretty competitive for anything except something borked into single threaded madness like Photoshop or After Effects. Got it used for 500 bucks many years ago and don't really see a reason to upgrade at all. If I want 5 Ghz, I can on a single core or two even and it does it no problem. 4.2 Ghz on all cores is kinda pushing it but it works. 3.9 Ghz fully loaded is its sweet spot. That's 18 full cores on a Noctua D-15 topping out at 80C. 7000 series was pretty good in a robustness sense, except for the memory. That memory controller is iunno. It takes magic for it to play nice.

[@trparky]

Yeah, I'm glad I avoided this mess by going with AMD.

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

You say that the MSI equivalent is EZ Mode -> Game Boost but mine was off by default. What actually affects the set limits (as far as I can tell) is your selected cooler, in the bios. When you first start up, it will ask if you have a box cooler, tower cooler, or water cooler. If you select water cooler (because most nowadays are running an AIO) it will set it to completely unlocked limits for both short and long (P1 and P2) along with something like 512A. Setting it to box cooler will set intel limits 253w p1/p2. Tower cooler kind of sits in the middle at 288w p1/p2. I find though that it still wants to exceed those limits with the tower cooler setting, just like the water cooler setting. So, set your cooler to box cooler, and you will be enabling intel defaults. You can also adjust the Lite Load Mode from auto (which on my z790 carbon with an i9 14900k was Mode 10 by default) to something lower like Mode 6 or 8 to drop the voltages a bit more, but this shouldnt be necessary for intel spec because you should realistically be running in the 60-70c range under full load with adequate cooling. Additionally you can adjust your Load Line Calibration to change the Voltage droop when the cpu goes under load but thats kinda going into the weeds. Just set your cooler to Box Cooler for intel limits. I've never seen Game Boost/Creator Genie enabled and honestly, I have never even enabled it in the past to try it out.

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

Exactly what I did right after Jay’s video. Changed it to box cooler. Game boost was also off by default.

Hi, 14900K user here. So the story goes: First 2-3 days stock MB settings with 360mm AIO the CPU was stable. Then, started messing with XTU AI and optimizer all stable and R23 and Cinebench 2024 high scores for one day. The next day booted the system and started crashing, restored the MB stock settings, and everything was fine. A day later crashes again, engaged the CPU limits (Intel POR - Gigabyte Z690) everything was fine. A day later random application crashes, random shutdowns and blue screens with Intel power limits. Counter-Strike 2 is crashing without FPS limit, but as soon as I set a 144fps limit the game runs fine. Battlefield 2042 is not playable at all (this is with Intel limits, I haven't tested it with MB defaults). I'm going to RMA the chip and I hope that I'll get a good chip this time. Good content Jay!

I have a similar combo. By turning off Intel MultiCore Enhancement, and Adaptive Boost Technology, I was able to drop max temps to less than 80 degrees Celsius, and idle to around 30-32c. All with no noticeable difference in real world performance. Prior to changing those two settings, the CPU would constantly boost itself all the way to 100c and sit there, and idle was around 50c.

@@avidglory what brand Motherboard do you have? It’ll likely have an advanced overlocking menu in the BIOS, which sadly have MCE enabled by default. It’s complete rubbish and needs to be turned off. Turning it off on my 14900k dropped max temps from 100c down to around 80c under full load, playing games and general use keeps the temps no where near that, usually less than 55c using a 360mm AIO. Cooling an i9 with an air cooler might be pushing the envelope IMO. P.S. if your temps are capping at around 90c, you may have the enforce limit 90c option configured.

I’ve got two thiccc 360 rads with an Eisblock on the CPU. My system was also too loud during gaming (and I have all Noctua). I had to drop the voltage to 1.15 and max power at 225 (I don’t need 6.2Ghz). Sure, I got a lower score in Cinebench but in gaming I honestly can’t tell the difference. I also find it funny that I can call my 3080Ti a cool (temperature) product.

Pretty much same here. The only crashes I got were specifically on cinebench, my main problem was the infamous heat of my 13900k.

Then I tried resetting to defaults and did just the power limits and it caps at 80 on a warm day on cinebench. Similar score to Jay here at around 37k score. Now it runs as cool as it should

I should add the desktop is stable 99.9% of the time, but there are rare circumstances with new games and cpu-dependent games specifically where the desktop will crash or force close the application.

[@seylaw]

There could be a degradation issue which only manifests itself after some time as CPUs age. The more voltage motherboards or users put through them you'll see them sooner. I've also seen personally CPUs degrade over time. On the other hand, most games don't tax the CPU that much, but shader compilation in UE games are highly CPU intensive. Possibly there are some CPUs out there which were sub-par quality from the beginning others might have degraded over time due to too aggressive motherboard default settings as shown in the video. As for stability testing, I use compilation workloads to tax the system and memory a lot which is a real worst-case scenario on my systems (as some compilations take over three hours to finish).

The issue is mostly on the 13900 and 14900 variants because of the higher frequencies. You are right, I have never heard anyone with a 13700 complain about these types of issues.

[@SquishedTia]

I hate to throw a monkey wrench into this discussion, but the "out of memory" error is NOT just happening to the 13th and 14th gen CPUs from Intel. Systems as old as my 4770k can experience this, and it appears to be at least partially game specific. A really good example of this that I noted over on Steve's video regarding instability for the 13th/14th gen Intel CPUs is with Diablo 4. A modern game (with a terribadly optimized engine in many respects) that is having that very same "out of memory" error. The thing is, the Fenris logs for that game clearly show that the game didn't hit a *system* RAM wall, it hit a *virtual memory* wall. That is, for some reason, Diablo 4 as of the last few patches since roughly the beginning of March, are not swapping textures to system RAM like you'd expect, but merely dumping them into the VM pool. On my 4770k system with both a 1080 Ti and my 4090 in as a test (the 4090 is in there because I needed to test the card before its return period was up and hadn't yet put together my more recent build for it due to a bad back and having to move a Cosmos II case), the same out of memory error occurred. Every single time the result was the same: the game noted it had run out of *virtual memory*. When the game crashes like this I typically have 10-13 GB free of the 32 GB RAM I have in this system. The 4090 made a very interesting test scenario because of its absolutely massive amount of VRAM. In the case of Diablo 4 it appears that the developers kind of did a massive pendulum swing from previous patches. Prior to 3/5/2024, D4 was doing garbage collection at such an aggressive rate that it would induce frame pacing and animation time errors (stuttering/hitching). So as of at least the 1.3.3 patch it appears that frame pacing is smoother, but apparently at the expense of not swapping textures into RAM, but for some reason VM instead. Windows' default VM is going to be nowhere the size of your GPU's total VRAM in 99% of cases. The only solution found here was to *increase* the Windows VM size to ≥16 GB, which is an absurdly large VM size, as that then locks off that much of your boot SSD, which usually tends to be the smaller of any drives you have installed. Regardless though, users should never have to adjust the VM size because a game isn't coded properly. Yet here we are. So you might want to have the folks over at Falcon Northwest give that a try and see what the results are. It's possible we're dealing with multiple different out of memory issues across various games currently, but the timing of this is really suspect relative to when the D4 1.3.3 patch came out and it kind of has me wondering if developers aren't being super lazy and/or sloppy with how they manage memory and/or do garbage collection in their games.

I'm still extremely happy with my 5800X3D after almost 2 years

[@dracer35]

I built a 7800x3d system and had to go back to my Intel system. The 7800x3d started crashing and getting bsod after a few months with 6000MHz cl30 ram and now can barely run basic jedec 4800MHz ram without crashing. (using the latest bios and ram on the QVL list) My 7800x3d has been the worst most problematic build I have had in 20+ years using both AMD and Intel.

I thought I had a faulty CPU/GPU. I'd have random freezes and stutters here and there, but where I saw crashes the most was playing Overwatch. I'd always get "Out of VRAM" or "Your game has crashed in your graphics driver". I resorted to disabling the iGPU by removing the intel drivers on my 14900k, which I'm assuming freed up enough power to keep me stable enough. Going to try checking out my BIOS to see if that fixes my problem. Thanks for putting this out!

[@Macshun]

I learned about this issue a couple of weeks/months ago and immediately noticed improvement once I set those limits in the BIOS. Way less stutters in games, CPU running cooler... It's really bad that they do this but glad it's finally getting some light because it solved a lot of issues for me.

Can you please do a video breakdown on MSI motherboard. There is no setting to turn off the auto optimization

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

Back when I was building servers for a living we tested all machines with a mix of benchmarks, and test programs that pressed the hardware to the limit. Most of that software came with a warning that it was not a realistic load for the computer but that was fine for us. It was real software doing just what was possible for the hardware. That it was programmed to press the hardware to the outmost was perhaps not realistic for normal programs but it was definitely reaching for the possible limit for the hardware. If the computer could survive this extreme load for 24 hours in a 40 degrees Celsius room without logging a single drive, memory or calculation error then it would survive any "realistic" load in more normal temperature. My point is test software is not intended to be "realistic", it's intended to be as nasty to the hardware as possible. The hardware should be built to safely process whatever software it getts to run. It's not enough that it works under optimal conditions or in cool environment. It has to be better than that!

[@ABaumstumpf]

It is NOT the power that is the culprit here but the voltage-spikes. I have said that for years (at least since Skylake) but the motherboard applying default overclocks is just insane. And with every generation it got worse. With Coffeelake a 95W CPU was running at over 110W permanently while delivering just stock performance. but at least there it was only the power. With 13/14th-gen they are not just increasing the powerlimits but also pushing the voltages to insane levels. With the Intel CPUs each CPU has an internal Voltage/Frequency curve telling it what voltage to request from the board for a certain frequency... duh, simple. For the i913900k that is something like 1.43V maximum when under full TVB. This voltage is the V_ID - the voltage requested at the power-stage, NOT the voltage that applies to the CPU. Intel specifies these voltages under the pre-condition of a certain resistance of the current tracks delivering the power to the CPU. The nominal value is 2 mOhm. That means when a CPU is drawing 100 Amps the voltage the CPU receives will drop by 0.1V, resulting in 1.33V V_CC. so the bad new. These boards have less resistance, apply higher voltages and further increase voltage under load. So the CPU is requesting 1.43V in expectancy of getting 1.33V at its inputs, but the Motherbords increase that so far that it gets 1.48V instead - a 150mV overvoltage for absolutely no reason. Now here comes the kicker - this isn't even the worst part. A CPU is only rarely under full load, so what happens when it is done with the work and steps down the frequency? It reduces the demanded voltage. Buuuut cause the motherboard takes some time and had already deliver high currents at too high voltage it can not regulate that fast, and instead cause of the reduced powerdraw the voltage now rises even further, spiking well into the 1.6V region, damaging the CPU and leading to fast degredation. TL:DR: It is 100% the motherboards destroying the CPUs, but Intel is still at fault for just watching and allowing them to do so.

[@TheFPSPower]

Yep, this exact thing happened to me with my 13600k on an Asrock Z690 Steel Legend, I was getting 1.4V 200+W out of the box causing insane temperatures, then I found a video talking about this resistance thing and the guy had a default of 0.01ohms while mine was 1.7ohms, so I tried dropping it to 0.01 and suddenly IT WAS SO MUCH COOLER, down to 1.2V never over 155W, I even managed to undervolt and overclock on top of that to get more performance with way less power. In games my power consumption went from 100W contantly to 50W, literally half. These motherboard vendors are insane and Intel needs to keep them in check, this is a wake up call, they are throwing chip-damaging voltages at CPUs for no reason.

​@@jankees4037 Or by a 7950X and be extremely close to Intel's current flagship which has to be overclocked out of the box by the board to get that score in Cinebench while AMD is literally sipping power doing it at stock or go for a 7950X3D which is just a tiny bit slower and uses even less power while doing it. It's nuts that Intel is puling 300w+ just to compete with AMD doing it at half that power or less with the X3D. And the 9000 series isn't even out yet which should surpass Intel's current flagship and I bet will still use half the power. Intel needs to go back to the drawing board and come out with a modern version of the core 2 chips after the complete failure that the P4 was because the current ones while quick unlike the P4 was at the time just use stupid amounts of power unnecessarily which is harder to cool and just a complete waste of power, they are literally cooking themselves to death. If Zen 6 a few years from now manages to put 16 cores on each CCD with 3D cache for a total of 32 cores and 64 threads on the consumer platform on AM5 then Intel will really be in serious trouble as they are stuck with a monolithic chip that just can't compete with that yet.
