Intel just updated us on game crashes, and it’s not looking good

Intel has finally updated us on its search for the cause of game crashes on Intel CPUs, including the Core i9 14900K. According to the chip maker, a bunch of motherboard BIOS updates will be coming soon to fix one contributing factor, but the company says it’s still yet to identify the “root cause” of the game crashes on Intel CPUs.
The extreme multi-threaded power and high clock speed of the Core i9 14900K makes it one of the company’s best gaming CPU options right now, but there have been many reports of game crashes on Intel CPUs in games based on the Unreal engine recently. This latest announcement from Intel isn’t timely either, as the company originally promised to make a statement about the situation in May 2024.
Let’s start with what Intel does now know, which is that there is indeed a bug in its Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB) algorithm. The statement, posted by Intel communications manager Thomas Hannaford, says that Intel has already developed a patch to fix the eTVB problem, and that it’s currently talking with motherboard makers with a view to getting BIOS (firmware) updates out before 19 July, 2024.
Intel also says that the default settings for LGA1700 motherboards should stick to a limited set of parameters when it comes to power limits and thermal regulation so that CPUs aren’t overheating. Motherboard makers have already been issuing BIOS updates to conform to Intel’s default baseline settings, but Intel has also specified the following settings for several CPUs, from the Core i5 13600K to the Core i9 14900KS.
However, bear in mind that these settings are conservative compared to the loose default power settings applied to these motherboards when they were first released, and they’re highly likely to result in a drop in performance as a result.
Intel recommended motherboard settings
These are the recommended Intel default motherboard settings for stability:
| Parameter | Value |
| CEP (current excursion protection) | Enable |
| eTVB (Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost) | Enable |
| TVB (Thermal Velocity Boost) | Enable |
| TVB voltage optimizations | Enable |
| ICCMAX unlimited bit | Disable |
| TjMAX offset | 0 |
| C-states (including C1E) | Enable |
Core i5 13600K/KF and 14600K/KF
| Parameter | Baseline | Performance |
| ICCMAX | 175A | 200A |
| ICCMAC_App | 150A | 170A |
| Power limit 1 (PL1) | 125W | 181W |
| Power limit 2 (PL2) | 143W | 181W |
Core i5 13700K/KF and 14700K/KF
| Parameter | Baseline | Performance |
| ICCMAX | 249A | 307A |
| ICCMAC_App | 200A | 245A |
| Power limit 1 (PL1) | 125W | 253W |
| Power limit 2 (PL2) | 188W | 253W |
Core i5 13900K/KF and 14900K/KF
| Parameter | Baseline | Performance | Extreme |
| ICCMAX | 249A | 307A | 400A |
| ICCMAC_App | 200A | 245A | 320A |
| Power limit 1 (PL1) | 125W | 253W | 253W |
| Power limit 2 (PL2) | 188W | 253W | 253W |
Core i5 13900KS and 14600KS
| Parameter | Performance | Extreme |
| ICCMAX | 307A | 400A |
| ICCMAC_App | 245A | 320A |
| Power limit 1 (PL1) | 253W | 320W |
| Power limit 2 (PL2) | 253W | 320W |
Disappointingly, though, as we recently reported, Intel still doesn’t know the root cause of the stability problems gamers are encountering, and specifically states that “while this eTVB bug is potentially contributing to instability, it is not the root cause of the instability issue.”
Intel also hasn’t provided a timescale for resolving the problem, simply saying that it will “continue working towards a conclusion to the investigation.” The company admitted that this “investigation is not an easy one to conduct and we’re grateful for both the support of our partners in conducting the analysis as well as the patience of the Intel community.”
Intel is expected to release its new Arrow Lake desktop CPUs before the end of this year, but in the meantime, its 14th-generation Raptor Lake CPUs are its best options for gaming. If you’re thinking of buying a new gaming CPU right now, we recommend picking up the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead, as it’s faster than the 14900K in most of our game tests, and it’s much cheaper too.
Shitty guide, sometimes these obvious solutions are not an option
It seems like such a law would just be common sense unless I'm missing something.
The answer is lobbying, corrupt assholes and loads of $$$
Also, this is a law in countries that aren't getting fucked so much by their government
Damn, now imagine there was a way to, maybe a button or something to say: this is bullshit. Dunno, maybe like a thumbs down or sth
Youtube fixing problems it created
In theory, yes. You'd need to know some python scripting though and interact with Hydrus via it's API
if any FOSS devs want to make an app for categorizing and tagging memes outside the camera roll
Well there's Hydrus for that, needs to run on Windows/Linux/macOS though, having Hydrus Web as secondary desktop & primary mobile app.
Running it standalone from your phone is probably a bother, since you'd need to run it in X11 from Termux, but it's doable
The game's story is not exactly full of twists and turns.
Tell me you don't know shit about ER's lore without saying you don't know shit about ER's lore
And what should I do the other 29 days then?
Switching from Miui to Evolution X my battery life nearly doubled
After switching to MicroG my battery life increased by roughly 40% again
I hate this new normal where everything is infested with spyware by default
By running everthing in a single thread obviously. Won't get more powerful than that
A private local LLM
Running on a phone? No way, not without being absolutely horrible, slow or making your phone churn through your battery anyway.
Good LLMs are olready slow on a GTX 1080, which is already miles faster than any phone out there
Dunno why people downvote you. Morality in fiction is mostly black and white. In reality it's mostly different shades of gray
I only feel like this when using libraries without type definitions/using bogus types like dict[str, Any] as EVERY fucking variable/return type without providing any docs
Sadge, I already know all of these
Thanks for creating it though, love the awesome something lists
You made a Typo in duperemove btw ;)
I want you to know that you doing that has made me incredibly aroused.
😳
Well yeah, but they should atleast store the key outside of userspace
They store it unencrypted in 2024? This should be illegal. Now every fucking Program you run can basically know everything you ever did since every shit is spyware nowadays to get that sweet data collection going
