My i9-13900k has been relatively stable, no crashes (Except one time on City Skylines 2) and I undervolted it awhile back to 0.06v. Recently, tried playing a new game demo in unreal engine and got the out of video memory error, never had it with any other games like Overwatch, Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, etc. Gosh I'm so scared of updating BIOS nonetheless messing around in it, but I have a pro-Z790P motherboard and this is the closest video I've found that's similar to my motherboard's BIOs without confusing me too much.

Hello, I recently put together my Gaming PC where I also have an i9 14900K and by coincidence I also have the same motherboard msi mpg z790 carbon wifi. My games often crashed, I read a lot of reddit articles where everyone wrote something different and lengthy solutions and I didn't know what to do anymore... Fortunately, I came across your video while searching :) I set the bios exactly according to you and the games don't crash anymore, they go even smoother and the processor has better temperatures. So I would like to thank you very much for helping me solve my problem.

[@azntactical4884]

With the MSI B760M Mortar WIFI II, they provided box cooler option before this whole thing went out of hand. I ended up eventually going to the box cooler power option and still got the same performance with lower temps. I was always thermal throttling down to 4.9-5.0ghz and hitting between 90-100C on the P-Cores when set to tower or water cooled option. Now, I am hitting between 85-90C with same speeds with my current 184mm radiator setup. I have had my 14900k for a few months now. I don't do gaming as the pc build was more for video editing and rendering for KZbin.

After being out of the PC community / gaming PC community for a number of years I was flooded when I started back. People have become overly possessed and have lost complete control with RGB and hitting bench marks that mean nothing at all and at best will only give a very small percent of performance gains. We are talking 3 t0 5 % better over all and hitting some make believe number for a very unstable system is beyond me and completely unnecessary, other than saying I did and it will not ever amount to any thing other than that. If you can game and have fun and enjoy it doesn't matter what numbers you are getting as long as the game runs well and smooth. To spend way more money for a 3 to 5 % gain that well make very little difference overall. Yes putting together a nice gaming system can be a lot of fun and enjoyment but soon ends when it's unstable and crashing for such a small gain. Then being obsessed with a blinking / strobing / flashing rig means nothing. If people are obsessed with it then that only means a cash cow / bank roll for the manufacturers. All can say at this point in time in the PC gaming world is this can't end soon enough for me.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Although you make some points the main issue is stability. If it's crashing constantly then that's rubbish

[@arlissyoung8899]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Please don't misunderstand me. I get it, this is a hobby and it's a lot of fun and enjoyment up to a point.

We now have Motherboards that can be over $500.00 {US} dollars and the Cards have gotten crazy over priced. This can and is a strain on people with a smaller budgets. It has been driven by flashing lights / hitting numbers / FPS and so on. In the end leaves some people to do with less due to the higher prices driven by a massive marketing on must haves.

If you want stability, better use motherboard with H610 chipset. No overclocking will be applied, thus garantee maximum stability. If you want highest speed, then use motherboard with z690/790 chipset and either fry your CPU to death or learn how to undervolt your CPU.

[@the0netruth]

B series like B760 are also safe bet but you won't be able to run CPU at 5.4 you have to downlock your p-core to 5.1ghz and e-core to 4.0 with UVP enabled -0.030 & LLC 50-80 on MSI boards (only MSI LLC).

I just set p core limit to 53 on my 13700k. Runs at 1.22v under load and scores slightly worse single core and same multi core in cinebench. Peaks at 225w and 82° on the hottest core on air. This should limit the voltage spiking for single core boost as well. Much easier than doing all this until the microcode update comes from Intel.

[@imqqmi]

I have an MSI pro board with 13900k with the default settings (4096W etc) and it would hit the thermal limit of 100 degrees C at around 300W but no stability issues. I use the Noctua NH-D15, but my case isn't loaded with fans. 1 back (intake, CPU fans blow the same direction) and 2 front exhaust. I have a 4070ti non super. The Corona benchmark used to be around 37-38 seconds, it's 40 seconds now. But if that prolongs the CPU lifetime I really don't mind. I've set it manually to 288W now without fw update.

Prawn, these settings made my system run like complete dog shit. No offense! I run almost the same exact setup you have (z790 carbon wifi and 14900k/4090). Spent all weekend trying to figure out what the hell happened. Latest bios, ME firmware, windows etc, every game I played ran like crap with fps drops. Had to restore all settings and select Tower Cooling, then manually set the power to 253/253/307 and XMP. Nothing else, whatever those intel recommended settings are they are crap! (at least for me). I play Apex Legends/Overwatch 2/Mortal Kombat 1, all were stuttering and running terrible! Apex Legends finally feels smooth again, but it still has a weird issue where I won't get my 240 fps until I have the game open for a minute or two. MSI NEEDS to figure this out asap IMO.

[@haies09]

Does changing the Current Limit from 307 to 400 help? Need to monitor the clock speeds and make sure you keep them during gaming, if you’re not then that might be the reason. “In BIOS, either 307A, 333A, 356A or 400A. I would choose something that keeps the clocks for 99% of time in games. If it throttles ("IA: Electrical Design Point/Other (ICCmax,PL4,SVID,DDR RAPL" in HWiNFO) it's not a problem and if it downclocks during stress tests that is fine as well. 307A is stock and is in the Intel datasheets, but depending on clocks and vcore as you can see here this can down clock in games. 400A is the max Intel allows for the KS, so anything in between should be fine.”

[@bauerns5er]

I haven't been able to look at your system, but I would guess that what you saw has been the Effect of enabling CEP combined with "normal" MSI LiteLoad. Because CEP needs to have AC_LL=DC_LL=LLC. This is the case if you choose "Intel Default" in LiteLoad (you can match everything also by hand, but you need to know what you are doing). If you use MSI "normal" (or advanced) LiteLoad without any further adjusting, CEP will throttle your system, because in this condition MSI has a lower AC_LL then DC_LL and both most likely don't match the LLC. Short version: if you want Intel Standard Settings you need to set all things to Intel Standard, including LiteLoad.

I currently have an all core 5.4 oc on the 11900k too which is a bit out of the range of the next generations unless you invest in a very expensive water cooling setup. I get the 5.4 off air but to be fair the pc is in a climate controlled room that never gets above 70F and its a HUGE bequiet dark rock elite. So no worries from me I have all the cpu I need for years to come.

[@ChaoticFoxxie]

after setting these settings my pc would fulyl freeze after gaming for a few mins

[@merclord]

I have an MSI motherboard. I updated the BIOS and made the changes you have suggested. I have an i9-14000K chip. My temps on my P-cores have come down to about 74-88C, however when I'm playing games I get spikes up to 100C on about half my cores that I can't seem to stop. Any suggestions or should I just leave it alone? My Cinebench score is already in the toilet around 1825, but my game performance is more than acceptable. (I primarily play Star Citizen and I'm getting 70-100 FPS).

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You've got the latest bios updates? I.e. the end of May? I believe there are new settings now.

[@merclord]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes, my bios version is H.C1 dated 5/14/2024. It's the latest bios I could find. I'm a novice when it comes to bios settings so other than what you've shown in your video I have no clue what else to tweak.

[@na-donu]

I have to set to spec sheet pl1, pl2 and some other settings in bios, now stable, no more crash, but underpowered. Not recommended

[@5150B9]

Jesus that looks so much like my setup it confused me for a sec 😅 👌🏽

[@gihantharindu5278]

I updated bois. After that lag and crash gone.but when I stress cpu its hot like 89 90

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

That's not that hot for stress tests tbh. If it got to that while gaming I'd be worried.

[@slayerr4365]

Huh I didn't know there was a second download for firmware I always just downloaded the bios no one else ever said anything about needing to download firmware too. Then again didn't really see any change from updating firmware so guess it wasn't important lol

[@emirmisel2446]

Thank you sirrrrrrr

[@peterfalkner4436]

You also have to disable ICCMAX unlimited

[@glenmcl]

I had to set my PL Long to 125w and my i9 still hits 89C I think I was sold a lemon by Cyberpower giving me a 120 AIO

[@tywolf4077]

This being 2 months ago msi new bios update has pl1 and 2 at 253w on "default" intel settings I'm still thermal throttling instantly on cinibench! This is b.s intel owes me a new cpu!

[@SuperDuDDe]

dont use cinebench and try gaming only

[@asaelel]

thanks

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

You're welcome!

[@timothygibney159]

My 13990k has been a nightmare to get stable. My cpu got its io damage d from the over voltage. Keyboards and pci express keep reinstalling and the fix took a whole week of llc and voltage settings. I will never buy asus and intel again

[@david55200]

My 13900ks been really hard to get a normal temp. Power need to bé AT 307 pl1 to 125 and pl2 to 203. I have disable hypertreating for gain 10% in game. I have 60-65° in game with some pick AT 70. In bench i have 82° max.

[@SuperDuDDe]

my i5 14600 kf burned off after 2 days...dont buy intel. buy amd

[@Crankork]

Came across this as i was having many crashes through once human and remnant 2. Since they use ue5 my 14900kf was not having any of it 😅 since I've changed these settings everythings been so much more stable. Cant thankyou enough.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Excellent news

[@martinschwanke7127]

Provoked Prawn??? So funny. TY for the tipsI get the principal but better head over to the Gigabyte page or tips have a GB Motherboard. Ive been building systems for years, Love making my own PC's I have a 4090 (RTX) 3 Monitors, a I9 4900K I love the CPU but was gutted when running into the dreaded error message about memory (usually on Unreal engined games). I love VR love what UEVR injector has done for the VR Fanbase / Gaming community. Happy 2025.

[@martinschwanke7127]

I tried STALKER 2" it absolutely kills my system had to tinker with the E and P cores. undervolting or disabling cores is the only way I can run it, I wonder why do Devs make games that thrash you system so much? I was thinkking of RMA'ing my I9 4900K and getting a Ryzen but I do love it fundametally so not going to Team Red anytime soon.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

The latest bios updates should help

[@Mr11ESSE111]

for i9 stability you need to have 150-200$ cooler water ones !!! Intel pushes this cpus with tons of cores and over 6 ghz and no wonder they crash especially with crappy coolers

[@capefear56]

RMA'd and bought an AMD. No more money for half-baked products.

[@maximilian.R]

These motherboard makers are scums! Been in contact with them for two days, now. I forwarded them the Intel spec. list that need to be addressed by MSI, and they simply refuse to give me the parameters for all the other settings, besides CPU current and voltage. It is unreal! I got same CPU and the MIS Z790 Ace motherboard. The new BIOS update is a joke. And, that is the problem--the makers of these motherboards, not Intel. But, when they refuse to help when you just purchased the items, it makes you climb walls.

[@Kingvoakahustla]

Nice Asus ROG Strix vidoe card Mate

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks

[@Kingvoakahustla]

Asus have help fix the issue.

[@jrmanders99]

500 points less.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Fair point, I'm clearly tired.

[@IRaoulDuke]

There is a better fix, buy an am5 mother board, cpu and new ram problem solved.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

cheap!

[@ceasingend]

TVB voltage optimizations will cause too high voltages and mess with undervolting...Turn it off and if you want significantly lower temps turn OFF Enhanced turbo

[@ceasingend]

people just because youre not thermal throttling at 85c doesnt mean your chip is going to last. you shouldnt be even hitting much over 70c while gaming ....over 80 will absolutely positively degrade these cpus at a significant rate. Intels obbsession with being the fastest allowed them to basically sell us TOO high of factory Overclock out of the box on this silicone. This should be an effing class action lawsuit by now. The 12th 13th and 14th gen cpus are a JOKE....14900ks 13900ks 13900k 12900ks 12900k owner here btw.
