Hello! I need assistance with BIOS settings and CPU voltage adjustments to resolve random PC crashes, including restarts and occasional BSODs. I’m using a 14900KS paired with a Z790 Dark Kingpin motherboard. I’d appreciate a more experienced opinion on what settings I should use, such as CPU multipliers, V/F control, and CPU configurations etc. Thank you!

    Run it at stock intel spec.

    Intel i9 13900KS | EVGA Z790 Classified | Corsair Vengeance 4x16GB 6600MHz | NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti FE | Corsair MP600 PRO 2TB PHANTEKS Glacier One 360 T30 Gen2 AIO | Seasonic PRIME TX-850 | PHANTEKS Enthoo Evolv X

    Doing this causes temperatures to exceed 90°C and pushes the voltages to unsafe levels, potentially risking damage to both the CPU and the motherboard. Thanks for your input, though!

    Are you running the latest BIOS with Intel's latest Microcode?  https://forums.evga.com/BETA-BIOS-for-Z790-0x12B-Microcode-Update-ME-Firmware-Update-10102024-m3626313.aspx
     
    That is supposed to stop the use of unsafe voltages as long as you're not overriding the Intel default setting in BIOS.

    Thank you! After running some tests, my PC seems to be performing much better without any hiccups!
