Problematic defaults for the SA Fabric ration on the 285K

[NumberEngineer]

I don't know what got into me to try the default value. It breaks everything.

I had to set the values inside the BIOS.

Did I input the right value, can you (intel) fix this issue of default value, if I crash, the system tries to reload them, it's terrifying.

Hi NumberEngineer,

Thanks for posting in the community. I have some questions about your current situation. Can you answer the following questions?

1. I see that the active values are different from the default values. Have you tried loading the default settings for your processor?
2. Can you tell me what you are trying to achieve by changing the voltage value of your processor? Are you perhaps trying to overclock it?
3. Have you tried going into your BIOS and loading the default settings?
4. What issues are you currently experiencing with your system?

Best regards,

1-Yes, the default of 63 consistently crash my computer

2-use it, at all.

3-there is no default for these value on the bios

4-it wont boot

my current solution is to manually set the NGU ratio and voltage on my bios.

but whenever i do some mild overclock using intel XTU, if it fails, it force set this fabric ratio to default.. which is 63??!

As seen in this screenshot, the value is a lie. it is not running at this speed.

It's running at a ratio of 26 as shown in HWiNFO.

Please fix this, I sometime get stuck in failing boot loops. 

I use the latest microcode 0x114

Hello NumberEngineer,

Thank you for answering those questions. I still need a bit more information. Based on your current answer, it seems you have tried to mildly overclock your system. Did you previously attempt to overclock or underclock your processor? Please note that if the system was overclocked, including voltage/frequency beyond the processor's supported specifications, it may void your processor's warranty.

Additionally, could you provide the exact make and model of your motherboard? If I'm not mistaken, there should be a "Load Defaults" button in the BIOS. Pressing this button will revert all changes in the BIOS to their default settings. Could you try looking for it and using it?

Also, for random crashing how about try doing the following troubleshooting below:

• Try to load the default BIOS setting in your system, or update the BIOS. Refer to the motherboard manufacturer for support with BIOS updates.
• Update Windows*. Select Start > Settings > Windows Update.
• Check for overheating issues. Make sure the thermal solution is compatible and installed properly. Refer to troubleshooting overheating issues.
• Start the system in minimal configuration. Minimal configuration: motherboard, processor, power supply unit, and one DRAM module.
• Check the power supply to ensure it is suitable for your self-built system.
• Check for memory issues:
  • Try to have a sufficient amount of memory in your build system.
  • Try different memory sticks.
  • Make sure the memory is seated well.
• Try another motherboard if possible.
• Run CPU stress test for Windows* and Linux*.
  • For Windows use the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool and run Burn-in Test.
  • For Linux, look up available stress tests for Linux.
• Try to get a fresh image of the operating system.

Let me know what will be the outcome of doing this troubleshooting.

I understand and agree with the warranty conditions about overclocking.

First off.

My system is currently stable.
It use the default XMP for the ram.
It uses the default clock speeds.

I have attempted the bios reset to default.

(edit bellow)

which causes the issue to resurface. 

only after manually setting the NGU ratio manually to 26 in the BIOS that my computer will load.

my motherboard is
