ASUS has offered a new "baseline profile" setting in its motherboard BIOS which should help mitigate Intel 14th & 13th Gen stability issues.
Intel's 14th & 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs have been facing widespread gaming stability issues as motherboard makers push certain CPUs beyond their limits through their default BIOS. Moreover, excessive voltages and power are being pumped into processors, making the silicon degrade over time.
This has been causing huge issues for gamers all over the internet, with many of them witnessing the "Out of Video Memory" pop-up while loading Unreal Engine games which stress the CPU a lot during the initial "Shader Compilation" loading screen. This has prompted people to return their CPUs, opting for competitors like AMD, and even though Intel did acknowledge the issue a while ago and said that they are currently investigating these reports, there seems to be no official fix in implementation.
However, motherboard makers such as ASUS & MSI along with the pre-built PC maker, Falcon North West, have stepped up and have proposed effective solutions for the stability issues, not only mitigating the problems but also eliminating them but the solution comes at a cost. ASUS rolled out its latest BIOS for Z790 motherboards which adds a new BIOS function called "Intel Baseline Profile" which reverts the CPU to Intel's factory default settings by lowering power limits and improving stability in games.
Falcon Northwest explains the functionality of the baseline default settings which include the following guide (In the case of an ASUS motherboard). Do note that ASUS's "Intel Baseline default" option automatically sets all of these settings as shown above without any manual tweaking.
The company has also posted a set of solutions on its official X account, which revolves around some BIOS adjustments, and here is what they have suggested:
Well, props to Falcon Northwest's effort to put out a really good guide to help out not only its customers but all 14th & 13th Gen CPU owners facing these issues. ASUS and MSI have also been working internally for a while to resolve these issues and credit to them too. But this should be used as a caution for future launches and shows how going beyond the Intel set defaults can affect stability on chips.
But what's the cost of going all default? Well, that seems to have been answered by OCN forum member, RaMsITo, who quickly tested
Intel has provided an official statement on the 14th & 13th Gen CPU instability issue matter saying that it's better to use its "Default Settings" in BIOS.
Intel has started requesting motherboard makers to implement its "Default Settings" for 14th & 13th Gen CPUs as BIOS defaults.
A tester at Chiphell has gone his way to find the stability rate of Intel's Core i9-14900K & 13900K CPUs as the chip manufacturer has yet to identify the root cause of the stability issues affecting these chips.
While they ponder which developers should face the difficult task of following up one of the most acclaimed games in a long time by making a sequel by Baldur's Gate 3, the makers of Dungeons & Dragons are also putting their own money into making video games themselves. Over a billion dollars of their own money, in fact.
Blizzard is aware of the Dragonflight Legendary upgrade bug and it's a priority issue for them, but it'll take some time to fix.
Intel issued a statement to address the stability issues currently affecting 13th and 14th gen Intel Core i9 CPUs, including the i9-14900K, in certain PC configurations. These stability issues can cause select Intel Core i9 processors to run out of their recommended specs, which can negatively affect performance during gaming sessions and productivity tasks.
Intel seems to have released an update regarding its 14th & 13th Gen CPU stability issues, calling out motherboard makers for not following recommended settings.
Bethesda's highly anticipated next gen update for Fallout 4 is riddled with issues across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Gigabyte has released its "Intel Baseline" BIOS option for Intel 14th & 13th Gen CPUs to improve gaming stability but it leads to severe performance degradation.
The next-gen update for Fallout 4 has broken the popular F4SE mod on PC. Released on April 25, the update brings performance improvements, additional Creation Club content, and more to Fallout 4 amid heightened interest in the franchise thanks to the recently released Amazon TV series, but clearly doesn't gel well with existing mods.
This GeForce NOW Thursday brings several major additions to NVIDIA's cloud gaming platform. Arguably the most important one is Manor Lords, currently the top wishlisted game on Steam by over three million users. To quell the hype, the solo developer behind Slavic Magic recently wrote a blog post to explain what the game is not:
Meta has announced that it is teaming up with Asus ROG and Lenovo to make new third-party VR gaming headsets that will run on the Meta VR ecosystem. The ecosystem itself is getting a refresh, as detailed by a lengthy blog post, and will now be known as Meta Horizon OS.
