intel i7-13700k issue

[duywait4it]

I have heard that many CPU from 13th and 14th gen is failing. I'm using 13700k with Asus rog z790-f mainboard. Is my CPU get too much voltage, from my understanding, VID is causing problem right?? My CPU is getting somewhat under 1,5v, is that too much and should I undervolt it? Thank you for your helping!

Hi duywait4it,

It is completely normal that your processor's voltage is under 1.5v. I highly suggest updating your BIOS to the latest. Intel recommends customers to update BIOS with Microcode 0x129 for systems configured with 13th and 14th Generation Processors with CPUID 0xB0671.

Just to add, the microcode update (0x129) will limit voltage requests above 1.55V as a preventative mitigation for processors not experiencing instability symptoms. This microcode update will primarily improve operating conditions for K/KF/KS processors, with less impact on non-K Series processors. Analysis is ongoing to address other scenarios that can result in this Vmin shift on Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen desktop processors (list of vulnerable processors is here). Intel will share a progress update on this analysis by end of August.

Let me know if you have other questions.

I am using 14700k, and getting 1.5++ V when doing my work in photoshop and clip studio paint.

Rather than waiting for it to die , I just limit my voltage with 1400V. Now it wont really reach the advertised max speed. But now my max voltage is 1370++.
Didnt do any undervolt , I just simply limit the voltage request for 1400 and up.

I Rather have long life cpu than problematic cpu that will give headache before 3 years. *shrug*
