Issues with i7 13700K

[Redog_Modi]

Issue Summary: When running the program Maya on my system, the temperature of 2 specific P-cores rises rapidly, leading to slowdowns or freezes

• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 22H2, OS Build 19045.4651

• CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K 3.40 GHz

• CPU Cooler: MasterLiquid 360 Atmos

• GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3080

• Motherboard: ASUS Z690-P

• RAM: Samsung 2x32

I have not applied any overclocking or other modifications to my CPU

Part I find most confusing is that thermal throttling occurs during all tasks even though the temperature only reaches 70 degrees

When working with Maya, especially while using X-Gen, temperature of the 4th and 5th P-cores rises rapidly while other P-cores and E-cores maintain normal temperatures. This causes the computer to slow down or freeze

The issue isn't limited to heavy tasks like working in Maya, even when I'm just watching YouTube, temperature of the 4th and 5th P-cores rises rapidly, causing the computer to slow down. I want to understand why this is happening and how to resolve it.

I really can't understand why thermal throttling only occurs on specific cores

Your processor has stability issues and oxidation issues.

1)  Intel announced  warranty extensions for an additional two years, you can replacement or else

2) Update the latest bios firmware with intel-microcode 0x129, and enable the intel default profile.

Oxidation?

Please explain your theory.

I am not using 13700K, I read in article, few 13 and 14 caused oxidation issues

You are just spreading misinformation.

Please stop!

[WrongedByCS]

So are you , persistently so , trying to avoid users from getting the support Intel recommends. 

Are you an investor in Intel ? Are these RMA's directly affecting you?

[CoolBook]

Please explain how via oxidation causes that issue?
What is the defect requiring RMA?

[WrongedByCS]

13000 / 14000 is pretty much 80% borked. Your one of them , RMA it , the process will be painful and slow.

@WrongedByCS 

How did you come up with that crazy idea? 

[WrongedByCS]

Oh look it's coolbook, the person that tries to avoid anyone from RMAing their defectious product. Thread after thread. 

[CoolBook]

Why are you spreading lies? Do you think that is helping anyone?

[CoolBook]

Do you see that the computer is actually temperature throttling?

[SmartOne_2000]

I think its the overall package temperature that counts, no? Core to Core temp variations tat occur on a millisecond (or less) basis do not cause issues. Its the prolonged package temp that one must watch out for and cool as much as possible.

[CoolBook]

The main issue seems to be that the CPU is not actually working at normal performance.

It is getting held back for some reason.

The OP claims thermal throttling, which seems strange.

There are many performance limiting reasons:
