I had to use the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to set the ICCMAX cap for my Z790 Classified motherboard, as there was no BIOS setting for it.

Good Luck..

ohh i see you just confirmed cause i thinking maybe im stupid but no

 
There are already 2 threads on this - one under Z790, and one under Hardware. Stop creating new threads for the same topic, it's making it difficult to follow.

Agree that ---> One thread about All "Z790 update requests" might be easier for others to follow....
 
Many threads talking about Z790 & updates .... however; each of these talks to a very specific topic ..... though some seem to have moved towards microcode & keep evolving
 
Each one started with a specific question/ request in the first post
 
 
------------------------------------------------
Are these the threads you are thinking of?
 
Support for 14th Intel CPUs
Will the EVGA Dark Z790 support the 14900k when released?
MSI Releases BIOS Update for Intel Core 14th and 13th Gen Desktop Processor Instability
 

I agree they're connected to microcode, I have a Z690 KP and need the microcode as well (nothing posted there).  My question is related to this topic, if my board is still under warranty and continues to crash then it would warrant an RMA request for the MB and/or processor.  Intel has stated that the processor maybe an issue and requires these new microcodes in the BIOS to prevent killing the processor.  My BIOS has 0x119 microcode as the most recent and there are several others released to address this issue.  The BIOS programming is locked down to MB manufacturers for MB warranty reasons. And if EVGA doesn't release a BIOS update with the new microcode then wouldn't EVGA be responsible for replacing the board AND the processor? 
 
At some point EVGA will need to do something, the cost of someone putting the microcode into a new BIOS vs RMAing boards and/or processors vs lawsuits (several firms already going for Intel).  If it's too costly for an update then refund the board so I can get one that will be supported.

Intel might send you CPU back which already includes latest microcode. 
I’m sure they fixed current production, but I could be wrong.
I also suggest you contact EVGA support regarding new BIOS with latest Intel microcode. The more pressure on them, the better!

This is not a proper fix, these are ugly hacks that cripple CPU.

How do you know? Have you tried what I wrote above and see the results for yourself? If your cpu is already degraded then it wont work but if your cpu is new it will work fine. I am on my 2nd 13900KS as I left my first one at stock and it degraded on me after a year, and I had to rma it with Intel, and I have had these settings applied with my now 2nd 13900KS since day one that I got it, and have had no problems at all with my cpu. My chip runs cooler and is even a bit faster, or same speed as stock as it is not a huge differance. I do not think you know what you are talking about as I have applied these setting myself and seen the results myself from before with stock, and after with the settings applied, and it worked fine, and has been ever since day 1 of getting the cpu brand new!

Yes it is and many people have proven and demonstrated it. It's not a hack to set safe voltage, current and watt limit specified by Intel. 
Your ignorance is harming, please stop posting.

You do not need the micro code update. Just tune your cpu yourself, unless your cpu has degraded then send it in to Intel and get a new one, and then tune the new one when you get it right away! This is what I did to tune mine.
 
1. You need to turn off "Core Isolation" if you have Windows 11, not sure about Windows 10 as it will override any voltage settings you set in the bios for the Vcore, and offset. You can do this by typing in "Core Isolation" into the search bar in Windows 11 and it should pull it up.
 
2. Go into bios and turn XMP on.
 
3. If you have a 13900KS like I do for example; you need to lock all the cores to 56 (5.6 GHZ). You want to lock the cores to whatever speed that the bios is showing for the cores that do not run the highest, so 2 of the cores for example on a 13900KS are designed to run at 60 (6.0 GHZ), and the all the other cores are made to run at 56 (5.6 GHZ), so 56 is the real speed of the CPU, so you want to lock all the cores to run at 56 (5.6 GHZ) on a 13900KS.
 
4. Set the Vcore to 'adaptive" setting and set a 1.345v with a -25 to -100 offset below. You will have to play around with this as each CPU sweet spot might be different. In my case I set a 1.345v with a -95 offset and the "vid" only reaches a high of 1.38 which is perfect as you want to keep the voltage below 1.35v.
 
5. Set the Vcore PWM Frequency from 500 to 400.
 
6. Set the CPU Power Limit to 253 watts. In EVGA motherboards case Pl1=pl2 so it will set 253 for both and 253 is Intel spec. The CPU doesn't need any more wattage than that.
 
7. Save changes and Reset
 
8. Run "HardWare Monitor" and keep any eye on the voltage and temps as you run a benchmark program like "Cinebench" at the same time. Then go back into the bios and make adjustments to the Vcore voltage as needed until you find the sweet spot for your CPU.
 
Hope this helped!
 
 

Short of a new BIOS w/ microcode update, those steps should help keep people from burning the CPU to the ground
