Everyone’s acting like Intel has lost credibility. They’re just doing the same thing they’ve always done. Look at the Pentium debacle in the 90’s, they covered it up until forced by lawsuits to recall and replace chips.
@2leggedpirate2652 ай бұрын
you could inform yourself a bit better before writting crap. it's not INTEL making the MBs, and it's not INTEL setting the MBs with ilimited voltage by default. they are trying to fix something MB manufactors screwed up. Should be each manufactor to release a BIOS update to set the limits that INTEL stated as safe, as the default value. And also, INTEL already said they are replacing damaged CPUs to anyone that was affected by this, again, which isn't even their fault. and there aren't many CPUs that actually got damaged by this. it's instability and crashing, not exploding or melting. And comparing with the Pentium CPUs, again, shows you have no idea what you are talking about. the 13th/14th gen CPUs aren't flawed. it's the voltages in the MBs. any crash/instability is easily fixed by changing the BIOS settings and putting the values defined by INTEL as standard. OC is not, or ever was, the standard values for any CPU.

I have a 13900KF with Asus Z790 Hero. I updated to the beta bios and it has pretty much made my system completely unstable in 1 day. Started with crashes in games, then BSOD loops to the point Windows 11 refused to boot without a command prompt chkdsk to repair windows. After that Cinebench R23 pretty much refused to run so I rolled back to the previous bios version, works stable with 30 mins of R23 stress test. I have no doubt at this point that my cpu has degraded to a degree and may be the reduced power settings introduced in the latest microcode patch has made it unstable - may have arrived at a point where system actually demands more power to provide the same clock speeds. Or it may be a different unrelated bug relating to the BIOS update.

I have heard it suggested that the big thing about this bug is that if left unchecked it physically breaks the CPU. If this is the case then not updating, means cpu degrading.

Blue screen crashes, etc, the works, even on "default" BIOS settings. I tried reverting back to 1010 and it doesn't fix the issue (potentially because IntelME is permanently upgraded?). I reached out to ASUS and they said I should have "incrementally" upgraded, and not upgraded from 1010 to 1663 in one-shot. I've never heard this before in my life. They said trying to go back to 1010 and then go through 17 bios updates to incrementally update might fix it. I tried this and it didn't work. They are now sending me an RMA'd new mobo.

After applying this offset, the V-core is now at 1.35V even under load, and the temps have reduced to 90-92°C (a 5-degree drop is still a win). The most important thing is that my benchmark results stayed the same.

I have an Asus z790 dark hero with an i9 14-900K. It is brand new (June 2024) and i used the 1302 bios version since day one. Everything was working extremely well. My voltage was around 1.330, and my cpu never went over 70 C. This past friday i decided to update to the new bios (just for the new microcode). It is not good. For the first time since i built my pc, the cpu reached 80 C. I even got an alert from my AIO. The voltage change to 1.455. I use it mostly for gaming, so when i tried to play some Warzone, my cpu was getting extremely hot. Before the update the cpu stood around 65% to 70% TOP. But now, for some reason it was reaching 75 to even 82 C. That's when i got this alert from the AIO telling me my cpu was too hot. So i decided to just go back to the 1302 version, and now it is back to normal. Sorry for the long post and my bad english, just wanted to share some info about this.

Not long after I started experiencing a spate of random BSoDs; they would implicate random system or driver files, and in at least two cases ntkrnlmp was implicated with a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error. I tried everything - turning off XMP, running Memtest86, did some stress tests, the whole nine yards, but nothing turned up. Finally decided to look up and see if anyone else might be facing this same issue; after seeing this video, and especially the comments in this video I have decided to roll back to the previous BIOS version for my motherboard (2402 for mine case), which I just did. Hopefully this ends the spate of BSoDs I'm facing, and if it does I will wait until Intel and Asus comes out with a newer version before I update again.

I think due to the way intel has handled this people like you who didn't seem to have a problem are in a "Schrödinger's CPU" "Am I safe, Am I affected, 🤷♂???" situation, add to that the many RMA Declined Issues being reported for those already with dead CPUs making people (Especially Pre-Built Owners) not currently affected scared if they don't do the BIOS Update Immediately they may be rejected too if their CPU fails soon, but also scared updating the BIOS may cause performance issues that they are not educated enough to fix.

Never use betas period, always wait for the next which should be mid August. Also idk why gamer nexus and others made such a big deal about this when the 14900k is marketed as an enthusiast cpu. All the server devs needed to do was undervolt also. I don't get how this is new news? Amd def had there hand in the cookie jar on this one with them devs. Just so happened to do this in the public eye when they switch to mainly amd and right before an amd launch? Which has also been crap so far. Lol

Updated to the beta BIOS on my Asus TUF Z790 gaming and seems to be working fine, the only problem I had was with my memory. Older BIOS gave memory errors with XMP1 but went away with XMP2. However, BIOS 1661 I could run XMP 1 and got no errors under memtest86. Updating to the beta 1662 BIOS I got errors again under XMP1 and had to go back to using XMP2. Other than that system has been stable 24/7 on my i7 13700k.

@Leptospirosi2 ай бұрын
Just go back to Asus optimization and set the value you want manually. Try to lock the VID to 1.4v - 1.45v and check if the computer is stable. From my experience, the new beta bios only alter the standard profile, but is identical to the old ones in every other feature. As a Beta Bios, it is "Beta" only about the novelties. I switched back to the Asus Optimization due to issues with temperature in the processor. I don't think my CPU will last longer if the Temp is always hitting 100C° and thermal throttling. On Asus Optimization and some tweaking, I'm back to 80-85C° max as before the Update.

The version Mike downloaded was 1662, dated 2024/08/09, marked "Beta Version". ASUS updated this 5 days later, to version 1663, dated 2024/08/14, which was NOT marked as Beta. Clearly, Mike's version was found to be problematic, as it was quickly updated, tested, and released, within a very few days. It suggests that BIOS updates should be left alone for a couple of weeks, to ensure you don't make matters worse, and to allow time for glitches to be discovered and fixed.

How does an undervolt stop erroneously high microcode VID requests, done as the CPU idles to avoid a V drop under anticipated load? You need to set an absolute max V limit like Intel (1.55V or lower like Buildzoid 1.4V shows) does in their defaults which are included the microcode update.

@RobBCactive2 ай бұрын
@@mikesunboxing but there's buggy requests, they're close to 1.6V and frequent and the value depends on the AC/DC load line settings which have been incorrect. As Intel have per core V/frequency tables with values determined during validation testing, I suspect viable undervolts are more like 20mV not 200mV and only the i9 needs >1.5V to reach the highest frequency. Besides degradation has been reported in laptops and on server boards set for power efficiency and stability not performance. So the evidence is software was triggering the V spike from faulty microcode and Intel's lack of QA and curiosity about failing CPUs despite replacing some data center ones en masse has hidden the uncaught problem that Buildzoid's video demonstrated.

For me the "old" bios work better ( PRIME Z790-P WIFI BIOS 1661 ), I do not know if is because the new bios is only for non K CPU's or because is in beta or Asus just mess up the update. I have tested with several APP's, and have the WHinfo and the CPUZ all say the same, with the old bios (1661) the max VID request was 1.490v, on load was 1.445V, the actual voltage on core was 1.167V TO 1.175V on load, on idle is 1.247V, I have it manual set to 1.250V and all the AMP's and wats are also manual set in the Intel specs, (oh, the default auto on this version is 1.4V), also pull 179W to 182W with my manual settings. Now with the new bios (1662) for starters the default is 1.450V, all the AMP's and wats stay the same (intel specs), -- the CPU request 1.55V and gets 1.45V, temps go way high, clock drops to 5.1Ghz on auto and setting the cores to 5.3Ghz does nothing (actually drops to 4.3Ghz) -- if I set the same values of voltage like I was using on the old version it post, but the request go higher (1.6V), it stays at the voltage I set (1.265V) but the core goes to 3.8Ghz (lower over the E cores), the E cores never drops (stay at 4.2Ghz), it pull 162W. Also on the new bios the temps go above 90C, on the old version it go to 72C (on higher clock), try to force on the new bios to reach the clocks and performance I had on the old bios and do not work, or drops the clock to low or hits above 90 in secs. I sort I will keep the old bios for now, looks like is really in beta or is not for K SKU's. PS, ( PRIME Z790-P WIFI ), ( 13700KF ) , ( DDR5 6400 ).

@@mikesunboxing I think I found the why of the strange voltages / clock. Something on the firmware detects the requests and the max vid set, if is lower over the requests the CPU drops the clock and ask more Voltage ( no matter how hot it is ). In my case I'm not using offset rather static voltage, and with the new bios if the request is higher over the static voltage the clock will lower (a lot). Other settings I'm using is the uncore (ring) at 1.220V (static), also OC pull at the same voltage as the main vid (1.250V). If you go to the VRM settings and set the max there the core drops to 3.2Ghz if the vid is set static and 1.25V or 1.3V to be inside the P1 and P2. That's why if you check on the WHinfo the cores and uncore (VR max Voltage P4) is yes all the time on load

@@mikesunboxing I understand and you are correct that it would "show" less difference but that is the point I want to make, as the differences are only that small (2-5% range in from your data) and hence it would represent your data better in my opinion and also be more coherent, as for some graphs you are letting them start at 0, even though the difference is in the same 2-5% range. I myself have run into the same mistake before and was called out by my Professors xD If it is not too much effort you could for example start adding the percentual difference to the end of the graph and let them start at 0 in your future tests or just say them when you show the graph. Thanks again for the informative video and for putting in the effort to retrieve this data, highly appreciated👍

You didn’t listen carefully or misunderstood what I was saying the update is awful in its default state and even after my tweaks it later displayed more instability so I would strongly advise against it

@@mikesunboxing So, I should NOT update my BIOS? I've been lucky. My i9 has been rock solid. Some people are saying the update is awesome. Others are saying it fixes nothing or actual causes stable systems to become unstable.
