@@josetrigueiro5978 12th Gen does not have these same reliability issues. It does have the lag maybe because of PCH not on CPU on on mobo which is mentioned in this video. 12th Gen is in fact much more reliable than 13th and 14th Gen regarding stability. Especially DDR4. Now DDR5 XMP on other hand is another story but you are using DDR4 XMP which is smooth and stable on 12th Gen. DDR5 SPD 4800 probably ok but DDR5 XMP on 12th to 14th Gen is terrible on 4 DIMM boards especially Asus from my experience.

For my 13900k and 14900k I have done the following: MCE off, PL1 and PL2 limit to 225, limit P-core boost to 5.5 GHz and E-core boost to 4.3GHz, and use balanced power profile in Windows (although I do disable core parking to keep system highly responsive). Oh and just XMP on the RAM. I didn’t change LLC value. I have set voltage offset at a modest -0.015v and set the Core limit to 300 Amps. I have disabled the C6&C7 C states and EIST. Lastly I have locked AVX at 0 offset. I have tested on P95, CB R23 and CB R15. All great and in a mid 20 degree room, no workload exceeds 80c on package or cores. Very happy and benchmarks are very close to where they were before taming these beasts.

11:39 This is the main reason why learning to overclock and overclocking properly is much more safer for components long term than leaving everything stock without knowing what da hell your motherboard is doing. This is definitely NOT the way things should be but it's been the case since i had used computers. For example my Z370 from ASUS when enabling the XMP configured the VCCSA to 1.35v (overclockers recommend using 1.25v for daily). And this is one example, motherboards have this sort of practices. Vcore, VCCSA, VCCIN, any voltage... you name it. And that's only half the story, i've heard many influencers saying things like "a CPU running at 100 ºC is fine", i can assure you is not, amongs overclockers the safe margin has allways been around 85ºC.

@@Kdog307 See, I put my i9KF into a Corsair 4000d and the same 360AIO that was in a 2015 Full tower from Newegg. After the swap to the 4000d the idle went up 10C instantly almost 38C - 40C on all cores. Wasn't throttling at 5.2GHZ inside the cheap Full tower; where my 13700K sits now; in that old Full tower. It choked that 9900Kf down to 4.4Ghz before i could get it not to throttle in R23. So that case is jinxed for a 360 in the front.... Dumb thing is, that case will really need the front fans as exhaust and using a 240 AIO in the top, and get way more cooling, but your fans in the glass up front will be backward. My 13700K would never stand a chance in the Corsair 4000d.

Me, the main problem that manifests itself is that the mouse movement sometimes freezes, and in other cases it disconnects for a few seconds all USB connection to the computer and it is as if it restarts after a few seconds. I don't know if it is related to the i9 13900K CPU that I have in ASUS Rog Maximus Z790 Hero (latest BIOS 2301 from May 30, 2024) with Intel profiles, without any OC, and RTX Suprim X 3080 Ti, Corsair RM1000i source. Other times, games like Call Of Duty after a few minutes of playing it closes by itself for no reason and with normal temperatures (complete EKW custom liquid cooling of radiators and CPU block) without going over 75 degrees. In previous Bios (eg Bios 2002) the initial compilation of shaders sometimes crashed. With everything that is happening, could it be a CPU problem?

if i leave my gigabyte bios on stock, i see in hw monitor when running CB23 that VCORE goes above 1.5V, temps low 90s and power draw almost 400 watts. This is after delid too. Going in and adjusting LLC and setting a fixed voltage i was able to run stock speeds at 1.27v with Turbo LLC and vcore stays pegged at that in hwmonitor. So these chips are being massively overvolted by motherboard manufacturers. Another thing to do if you dont want to run a fixed vcore you can set PL1 to 125 and PL2 to 253 watts. Dont need to adjust current limit as itll never hit 307A at stock. Also throw on a -0.075mv undervolt and its rock stable. Max temps in CB now low 70s too with a 360mm aio.

I had crashes, blue screens, and most of these issues when bench stress testing with other applications. All started with new components, and the new I-9 CPU. Finally figured out that it was the unrealistic BIOS settings by MSI. I contacted them, and ended up in arguments with them because they would not provide the correct settings for the BIOS, for normal usage and OC usage. I was shocked. Got the system all stable and running at a good performance, after changing the voltage and the current to the CPU, and undervoltng. I say the makers of the motherboards are the problem.

So far I don't have this issue on my setup. I just set my PL1=PL2 to 253W and ICC=307A, Enhanced Turbo=Auto and the rest is custom fan setup curve. I have an MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk MAX WIFI7 with i9-14900K. Immediately after I finished my build I set my PL1 & PL2 to the Intel power specs and had not had any issues. Running God of War 2018 and finished the entire game with no hickups. If you set the PL1 and PL2 to the default BIOS setting which is an overkill setup, yea the PC will crash and immediately causes the BSOD or sometimes lag and memory error issues. You can set PL1=125w and PL2=253W however this will definitely reduce the performance of the CPU, so you can set it to 253W on both PL1 and PL2 and ICC=307A to run stable. Here's my settings: E-Core Turbo Ratio offset = +1 CPU Ratio Offset when Running AVX = -3 CPU Lite Load = Mode 1 (located in Advance CPU Configuration Settings) CPU Loadline Calibration Control = 5 (located in DigitALL Power Settings) CPU Core Voltage offset = 0.100 PL1 = 253W Duration=56s PL2 = 253W ICC = 307A Hope it helps anyone out there with the same MOBO and CPU. My RAM is a Corsair DDR5 RAM with 7200Mhz. So everything far runs stable. Ran OCCT for stability for 1 hour passed, with Cinebench Multi-core score is 39200, and Single Core of 2k+ I did ran LatencyReport as well and did not return any major issues.

They are linking the high end user, causing all out power burnout; with the bucket of parts builder that has poopoo for advice of hardware... Makes for a nice ploy to sell more AMD.... 13700K is a cranky cpu to an extent, but you could throw it and a 360AIO in a Corsair 4000d and cook the heck out of it, after it not throttling at all in a 2015 Newegg budget full tower PC case.... Just changing cases will add 10C to idle alone. The glass in the front makes that much difference. You'll cook a 9900KF down to 4.3 Ghz to keep it from throttling in the summer. Or run 5.1 or 5.2Ghz year around in the old cheap 2015 case. I was testing it in a 50C room, that Intel chip wasn't doing one thing to heat that room though. Even added 2 120mm to the rear of the Radiator and didn't change one number on temps.... All a flow issue.

Or the people that bought a B660/B760 as a motherboard for an upgrade path? Most people claiming this, has the x3d bug, and really want Intel to give them money back. A 7950x has the same issues with a B650. You tubers just loving clumping User error issues with something that possibly could be a default bios problem, with people that bought a BUNCH of parts.... Processors burning up, yeah voltage. System crashes, usually a lack of voltage or a driver error. Program crashes and blackouts dropping threads, improper undervoltage as well. For myself I need a Class Action, I can use Auto Undervolt in Adrenaline, and it has never successfully kept an undervolt for more than 2 hours without crashing the Adrenaline program. So when glitches have occured in the last 1.3 years of my 13700K's life, it is had Adrenaline crash behind it back to default every time.... So doubtful every issue in 2024 is Intel..... Remember Steve at GN has beat his brains out to get an overclock on every Zen released to date... Usually giving up, he is no longer on the LN2 bandwagon....

Nice Vid! Have you noticed the increase of voltage in the last apex BIOS version that you mentioned? Im one of those who don’t want to run XMP because the SPD writing don’t consider voltages for the CPU side. So, even an external controller must have the right voltage. So, board parters set SA in auto and even worse, CPUVDDQ2 at very high levels like 1.35, which is wrong. You don’t want what a 8200/8400 run XMP at 1.4v VDD/VDDQ. There’s no understanding or knowledge in the community about DDR5 and how it trains and work. Many Techtubers not only do not know, but they misinform the community, such as Buildzoid. I'm sorry he got into this topic. Instead of reading data sheets, he could have learned with Futurplus or also with some BIOSdev, but he does not manage relationships in his timings, he only works with (low) registers. It is not easy, but it is possible to reduce the voltages (lower) than an XMP profile, and not have stability problems. Finally, many users use fixed voltages with LLC6, limiting the core clocks, without allowing droop to exist, but for light loads they have excess current. The CPU must have its boost capacity, and depending on the quality of the silicon, limit the PLs, ICCMAX, IVR to avoid degradation.

I believe this is 100% a default bios issue or XMP issue. I tested my ASUS Z790I out of the box and it defaulted to 1.5v on the cpu core with vdroop. My cpu requires 1.3V to manually hit 5.6/4.5. My system is almost a year old with zero issues mentioned. Also I think it needs to be very clear that this is board partners releasing these terribly optimized voltages and not intel.

Not undervolting so much is one problem. But you throw ANY 360 AIO into a Corsair4000D and that case will raise your idle temps 10C with all the same settings, as in a 2015 Newegg budget Full tower... I had to take a 9900Kf down to 4.3 to get back to back runs of R23 without thermal throttling, when it would run 5.2 in a cheap case with the same 360AIO. B660 and B760's being sold as upgrade paths is another thing causing the program dropouts. Half the bios is locked for the K chips, in bios. Some of those settings go hand in hand with stability. Or even the ability to use XTU effectively. Cache voltage and speed come into play with the K cpus. I'm glad people are getting a new chip, but doubtful their chips will "Make it another day" same user....

I purchased an intel i513600k processor last year paired on a msi z690proa wifi ddr5 Motherboard and for about 7 months after the processor showing in stability issues random freeze of wibdows or sometimes apps got crashed and a most common issue i face till today is randomly my keyboard and mouse stop working and to make it work i need to reconnect it with the mobo. Due to all these issues i have visit msi service center and they asked me to visit intel service centre as it is an issue with the chip so i visited intel service centre and submitted the processor and they replaced the processor with a new one. now in 2024 from the month of February i am facing the same issues occurs again and when i checked the bios settings i found the chipset is not pulling the actual voltage and wattage. I got frustrated now and will switch to amd processor soon.

Nice video! At 11:02 yeah about that part not all motherboards of the same brand (cough Gigabyte cough*) runs the same way following a tutorial, for example the Aorus Z390 Pro Wifi which I own won't get along with the Aorus Z390 Master and another thing the bios upgrade always changes the menu and ways the motherboard will funtion, it could be a downgrade or upgrade of the modes from their list, the point is that after following the tutorial it won't start loading windows so by the time someone with knowledge has the guts to make a Z390 pro wifi version then I'll take the step to OC my rig. For now I'll keep it at the original stock setting and not waste my money down the drain! Cheers!

I have a 14900KS, and have had much issues. So far only some games are having really bad issues with the high clock rate. So to fix this I put in intel factory settings for power and a down clock to 5.3 on my performance cores. Seems to have done the trick and temperatures are below 70c at all time. Also doesn't affect my performances in gaming that much. The memory issue was stopped by turning on re-size bar. G-sync was also crashing some games so I turned it off in the global settings. I was also changing XMP profile to lower than my rated 6000. I ended up removing a 32gb stick, in case it was creating instability. The latest Nvidia driver also created crashes so I reverted back to the one before.

undervolting is only one portion of the pie -- if the chip is still pulling amps (watts), its still going to heat up. You need to set the power limits. just for reference, I too am running an undervolt offset, on an MSI z690, but DDR4 board. I set the offset (for me, -0.085), then set the clocks to auto, LLC3 (or 4) set the intel 253w limit on both LONG and SHORT. the seconds don't matter. set the amp limit to 400A. This is on a 360mm AIO Arctic Frozer II... cinebench R23 putting out 2.3-2.4k single core, and 35-36k multicore. CPU-Z single core was 965 if I remember right, don't remember what Multi was.

My early production 13900K was experiencing issues with stuttering, crashes, large power draws at idle and, the most annoying issue is the USB ports randomly drop and reconnect. I tried 3 different motherboards, 4 different RAM brands, 3 different power supplies, BIOS revisions and settings, etc. I went back and forth with Intel and they agreed to RMA the CPU. I updated the motherboard BIOS, applied the latest ME firmware and recommended BIOS settings from Intel and Initially, the problem seemed like it was solved. Now, the USB connection issues are back and some slight stuttering is happening again. On top of all of this, the motherboard onboard 2.5Gb NIC's have always had disconnect issues (which I solved by installing a 10Gb Marvel NIC) and with all of these issues compounding, I'm done with Intel. I'll be switching to AMD when the 9950X3D comes out next month.

I purchased a 13600kf last year after seeing the price to performance. I manually undervolted and clocked my CPU as follows. Amps - 250, Voltage short term - 160 and voltage long term - 160. I did this after reading an article claiming that based on a calculation, I cant remember the exact but, its like amp x volts = power. Feel free to correct. In it he was speaking with Intel. He was claiming that a 13600kf should only need 175 or 200 amps. It may have even been in one of Intel's specification sheets. After reading that I tried using 175 and then 200 Amps in my bios. ASUS. 175 and 200 would cause my CPU to throttle even at the rated 181 volts. Without going through all the different scenarios I tried I will say that based on temps and performance. The 250 amps and 160 volts short and long term resulted in a Cinebench score of 24250. With the CPU staying at around 70 Celsius.. I would randomly check the Cinebench scores after bios changes. Last month while checking the score dropped to 22200. Now is a 2000 drop acceptable for 11 months of use? I then tried to turn up amps and volts, overclock etc. This time the pc was crashing. I also tried turning up my ram speed. I was able to overclock 6400 to 6800 no problem. Now not even 6600. It is causing issues now, that it didn't before. Everything I just said is a long winded way of saying. THESE CPUS ARE DEGRADING. I am unable to set up my pc as I once did and recreate the same results.

I've had freezes lately but its related to the trash IME drivers from Intel. I've had freezes from 1 second to 20 seconds after logon. I've installed different IME drivers and it highly affects the stutters. Downclocking or adjusting voltage doesnt affect the stutters, but sometimes it does because its a bit random how the IME drivers loads at logon I think. Pch chip temp is also a problem, they often have to small heatsinks creating dropouts on usb etc. The undervolt the pch voltage to get away with a too small heatsink. When the pch chip dumps all the heat into the mb the ram signals is also affected. The heat affects the pcb traces increasing the resistance so your ram oc is no longer stable. Try to keep the Pch chip under 65C.

The end user should not have to go and setup their BIOS to fix issues caused by the motherboard manufacturer. Like you said, most people will just go in, enable XMP, and call it a day. Why would they even think that an overclock - that they themselves didn’t apply - would be an issue? To make this problem worse is that we, as tech enthusiasts, have been saying for the last few years that OCing isn’t as beneficial anymore as most CPUs will OC themselves. Motherboard manufacturers should have their defaults set to whatever Intel or AMD specify and nothing else. Let users who want to OC do so at their own risk - especially so given that overclocking is not generally covered under CPU warranties.

When I had those on a 14700K and HT off, the max clocks on auto even with undervolt were like 4GHz e-cores under Small FFTs and 5.1GHz P cores. Power would go through roof under that config with such test. WHat kind of cooling and what are max temps. I only air cool with a dual tower NOctua and I think with these chips you need at minimum a strong AIO and keep temps 65C or less. They seem that fragile and degrade too easily. Not for sure that is the spec, just a gut feeling if that even would work well.
