Dear EVGA Community, Thank you everyone for your patience while our team worked on the updates per Intel for the Z790 motherboards. These updates include the 0x129 Microcode from Intel for the Z790 series motherboards. We only recommend this BIOS for the Z790 with Intel 13 th or 14 th Gen. Processors. The BETA BIOS can be downloaded at the links below: · 121-RL-E799-KR - EVGA Z790 DARK K|NGP|N - v1.20· 121-RL-E798-KR - EVGA Z790 CLASSIFIED - v1.17 Please take note that we do not recommend updating your BIOS if you are not running an Intel 13th or 14th Gen. Processor.

Upgraded my EVGA Z790 CLASSIFIED with v1.17 so far so good!  New settings per INTEL SPEC:  Hopefully Z690 gets same update.

Please take note that even though you can change the settings listed below the Intel Default Settings, those settings will not go into effect until you turn off the Intel Default Settings option, then save and exit.

Please take note that this BIOS is an update for the 0x129 Microcode and Intel Recommended Default settings for the 13th and 14th Gen. Intel Processors.
I am not aware of any other changes.

Can you specify exactly which settings below are ignored when Intel default settings is enabled?

I think all of them.
I wouldn't think it's all of them. Stuff like c states, e cores being enabled, virtualization, etc don't seem like they contribute to 13th and 14th gen degrading.

Hi Chris, Thank you so much for this. I just read that Intel is releasing yet another patch to cover other scenarios that can result in damaged CPUs. From the Engadget.com website dated 9/26/24 at 08:00… “ The latest microcode patch it has released, codenamed 0x12B, addresses the fourth scenario. Apparently, the processors could make elevated core voltage requests during light activity or while the computer is idle. Intel has distributed this patch to motherboard manufacturers, since it has to be loaded as a BIOS update. The company is already working with its partners, but it could still take several weeks for the manufacturers to roll out the fix to its products.” Would you please look into getting another BIOS update? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you. PS - Sorry for the redundant post, iLukeberry

It looks like the "Extreme" power delivery profile isn't applying correctly. I'm on a i9 13900KS and it's only pulling 253w max with the Intel Defaults.

I think because you are using the "Intel Default setting in your BIOS, you'll get Intel's default 253W. If you turn off Intel's default setting in BIOS, that's where you may see the 320W settings.

Straight from horse's mouth:
https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/June-2024-Guidance-regarding-Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-K-KF/td-p/1607807?lightbox-message-images-1607807=56057i81282C3BCB9162A9
That's what I was saying in my post above. The Performance column for the 13900KS is what you'll get using the New Intel Default settings (253W). But Intel allows you to override those settings if you want. If you disable the Intel Default settings and use whatever EVGA calls their optimized default setting, you're likely to see 320W. I don't use an EVGA board so I can't test this myself, but you guys using EVGA's Z790 boards can easily verify things.
I know on my ASUS board running the latest MCU, the Intel default settings show 253W max. When I switch to ASUS Optimized Defaults, all those voltages and wattage limits are higher.
Turning off the default actually lets it go in excess of 320w (ran a quick Cinebench R23 run and it hit 350w), so neither are the Extreme settings.

That's what I was saying in my post above. The Performance column for the 13900KS is what you'll get using the New Intel Default settings (253W). But Intel allows you to override those settings if you want. If you disable the Intel Default settings and use whatever EVGA calls their optimized default setting, you're likely to see 320W.

Makes sense actually. Adding in the "new" Intel default settings in the MC update restricted the power limits to Intel's actual default. When you turn off the Intel default, most or all power settings go back to how things were prior to the whole Intel debacle. That's how it seems to me anyway based on my own testing.
