Epic Games has published a real one guide aimed at owners of Intel 14900K/KF/KS and 13900K/KF/KS CPUs. The reason is very simple: More and more users are complaining about sudden system crashes and the cause seems to be precisely the high-end Intel processors.
We discussed the problem several times. At first, Intel blames motherboard manufacturers that set power limits higher than the factory ones. For this reason, the company released the profile “Intel Baseline” which sets the motherboard to the factory settings suggested by the chipmaker.
The guide shared by Epic Games helps less experienced users to configure the motherboard with the Baseline profile. However, Intel itself eventually admitted that changing the parameters alleviates the problem, but It does not represent a solution.
In fact, the situation is getting out of hand: in the last few days Alderon Gamesdeveloper of the MMO Path of Titans, has chosen to migrate servers to AMD platforms as they experience “100x lower” crash rates. At the same time, he also called on Intel to recall its CPUs because, according to developers’ estimates, 100% of the 13th and 14th generation flagship processors tend to deteriorate rapidly causing malfunctions.
Recently, even the Warframe Staff investigated the increasing support requests related to sudden system crashes. After a thorough analysis, on the forum an infographic has been published, which shows that practically All reports came from owners of 13th or 14th generation Intel CPUs.
At the moment, the solutions suggested by Intel allow to limit the problem, but they do not solve it definitively. Furthermore, they impose several compromises, whether on performance or on the overall experience.
In the meantime, the company is investigating and has already found a bug in the algorithm eTVB (enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost), but clarified that It is not the main cause of the problem. We can only hope for a solution as soon as possible, especially considering that the issue could negatively affect the release of the new Arrow Lake processors.
