A closer look at the crashes that plague the Intel Core i9-14900K and the Core i9-13900K shows that the fixes that are currently available don't suffice.

It’s been over four months since the first reports of instability in Intel ’s top CPU s started cropping up, and we are yet to see a fix. Although Intel has been working with its partners on delivering updates that would address the problem, the company itself had to admit in a recent community post that it still hasn’t found the root cause.

Recommended Videos Ever since Intel admitted to the problem, there have been many whispers about the potential cause and fix. It recommended that users, alongside motherboard vendors, stick to its baseline power delivery profile . However, Hardware Times found that even using the Intel Baseline power profile on a chip that’s never been used in another power setting doesn’t alleviate this problem.

According to Hardware Times, the first Core i9-13900KF chip only ever ran on the Intel Baseline profile, but just two months in, they started experiencing system crashes during gaming. Eventually, the PCIe Gen 5 lanes that were connected to the GPU malfunctioned, at which point the chip was RMA’d. Once the replacement arrived, it only took a week for it to start crashing with Blue Screens of Death .

Hardware Times’ testing corroborates Intel’s statement. Tests revealed that the new BIOS update reduced the number of crashes, but didn’t eliminate them entirely. Although the system now experienced fewer BSODs, it started crashing to desktop instead — most commonly in fast-paced games.
