>Intel has announced that it has found the root cause of the crashing issues plaguing its CPUs. The company will issue a microcode update to address the issues by mid-August, ostensibly ending the long-running saga that began when the first sporadic reports of CPU crashing errors surfaced in December 2022 and grew to a crescendo by the end of 2023.
>Intel's response comes after complaints about the issue, which causes PCs to inexplicably crash/BSOD during gaming and other workloads, reached a fever pitch in recent weeks.
>However, the microcode update will not repair impacted processors.

>Intel's advisory says an erroneous CPU microcode is the root cause of the incessant instability issues. The microcode caused the CPU to request elevated voltage levels, resulting in the processor operating outside its safe boundaries.
>Intel is now validating a microcode patch to correct the issues, with its release slated for mid-August. This patch will be distributed through BIOS updates from motherboard OEMs and via Windows updates, so the timing for end-user availability could vary.

>The bug causes irreversible degradation of the impacted processors. We're told that the microcode patch will not repair processors already experiencing crashes, but it is expected to prevent issues on processors that aren't currently impacted by the issue.
>For now, it is unclear if CPUs exposed to excessive voltage have suffered from invisible degradation or damage that hasn't resulted in crashes yet but could lead to errors or crashes in the future.

Well, yeah, the higher voltages cause permanent damage.
But if they are under warranty, they should be refunded. Most countries will enforce this. Some countries with better consumer laws will force warranty replacements up to 5 years from purchase, even if the warranty was 1 year to begin with, due to the explicit defect discovered.

they're probably going to release a statement when the new microcode drops that they will accept warranty claims for anyone suffering issues. i just hope they lax their warranty departments to not give people the second degree.
when amd had their segfault bug they made warranty claims super easy. just send them a request saying "segfault" and they shipped a new one asap to the address you gave with a return slip to send the old one back once you received the new one. i hope intel does the same.

most stores here in america have a no hassle / no questions ask return policy. some might just ask if it works or not to see if they can put it back up for sale but that's it. most don't check anything. few that do only check for obvious physical damages. like seeing if you punched a hole or tossed it out a four story building. but most don't check at all. we just liquidate everything or try to resell it if it doesn't look broken.

I would be thrilled to know those safe boundaries, Intel. It would help to know for people can see if their CPU has been affected by this or not.

I think I made the right call only getting a 12400 and I think I'll make the right call again when I go for AMD next time.
>>
So if this microcode is going to reduce voltage does that mean those chips will no longer be able to hit their advertised speeds?

And it's just a coincidence this microcode update is also the exact solution Computer Jesus said Intel would do if there was some sort of oxygen introduced into the manufacturing process which would cause a mass recall?
>>
>>101527939

>>101527980
>The microcode caused the CPU to request elevated voltage levels, resulting in the processor operating outside its safe boundaries.
From what it sounds like, Intel is making the claim that the firmware is causing the CPU to request more voltage than it needed. So if the CPU needed say "1.43 volts" it was requesting "1.53 volts" instead. Or something like that.
>>
>>101527634
The article literally says that if you're having issues Intel will RMA you.
>>
>>101527596
>For now, it is unclear if CPUs exposed to excessive voltage have suffered from invisible degradation or damage that hasn't resulted in crashes yet but could lead to errors or crashes in the future.
It depends on how much damage was done. It could be "instead of lasting ten years, it will last for 9 years and 7 months" to "in three months time, you will start having crashes that will progressive." That's the thing about degradation. No one really knows unless you can get it under a microscope and see the damage to gauge how bad it is. Personally, if you have a 13th / 14th gen, when the new microcode lands, issues a RMA / get a new one.

>>101527596
When I was younger I expected all sorts of defects from cpus and chipsets on laptops because oems were cheap asses who didn't want to pay a few more cents to solder things properly. It was normal to hear about RMA on defective parts to replace them with defective parts, but this shouldn't be happening on desktop cpus. I avoid laptops for that reason but it looks like now I have to wait a year or two before buying hardware to be sure it isn't a dud.

>The company had previously advised its customers to stick with the basic power guidelines for its processors, rather than running them at fully unlocked settings, as it worked through the issues. Those instructions, which you can see here, remain in effect for now, and Intel hasn't issued any new workarounds for impacted customers. It is unclear if Intel will lift the existing restrictions after it issues the patch.
it seems like if you run the cpu within the recommended intel baseline power profiles, it appears to keep the processors, or at least, reduce the number, who go over (or stay to long in) the unsafe voltage limits.
i think buildzoid was right when he said you shouldn't be going over 1.45v's for sustain and keep it in the 1.3v range for sustained. 1.5+ voltage range really is what was frying them.

No.
Voltage does not directly correlate to clock speed. You can have higher voltage than required for the clock speed you are running.

why is this so hard for you to understand? the cpu was REQUESTING MORE than it was programmed to request.

IF ITS VID TABLE STATED DRAW 1.37V'S FOR 5.7GHZ IT WAS DRAWING IN EXCESSIVE TO 1.37V'S. enough, to put it in unsafe territory.

so instead of drawing 1.37 volts it was drawing say 1.47 volts. how is that so fucking hard to understand?

>Muh too much voltage.
You think Intel whose made cpus for 40 years "accidentally" programmed the microcode to use too much voltage to reach advertised clock speeds and that a simple adjustment will allow it to run at advertised clock speeds and at lower voltage.
Which one of use is crazy?

>>101528181
>No?
>Set your vcore to 1 volt and try for 6ghz
Look, you fucking idiot.
Yes, you do need minimum floor voltages to reach certain clock speeds, but you can also be higher than that voltage without further increasing clock speed.
This is why undervolting is a thing. The CPU makers set higher voltages than typically needed because of the variance in quality of the CPU dies, which helps with binning the chips.
So you can often (but not always) lower the voltages while maintaining the same clocks, and sometimes increasing the clock speed.

Voltages reported is displayed to you by the firmware. The firmware takes the voltages that were fused into the silicon, processes it, and displays it to you. Whatever you see, is what the firmware shows you. You don't really know what's actually in there because you can't read it yourself. You have to go through the firmware.
>>
>>101528532
All of that is being displayed by the firmware. Not the actual fuse information.
>>
>>101528543
>Whatever you see, is what the firmware shows you
the firmware shows you both VID (what the table contains) and Vcore (what the sensor is reading)
now why would intel mess with any of these? note that tech reviewers also determine power and voltage by directly measuring at the 12 V EPS cables
if the CPU was requesting 1.6 V someone would have noticed day one, and they definitely would have noticed after reports of degradation came in
>>101528555
where do you think the "actual fuse information" is contained?
>>
>>101528704
Firmware does now show you the vcore. Vcore is showed by either the internal voltage regulator if the cpu has one (like haswell did) or by the motherboard. You can also obtain this by reading the voltage supplied to the CPU from the vrm rail on the motherboard.
Voltage table is fused into the silicon itself and the firmware within the cpu reads this information and presents it to you. Its reading is completely up to it. Its like taking another persons word for it.
>>
>>101528704
and people were noticing 1.6 volts being requested months ago. the problem is, no one knew what the safe voltages were because the only thing intel ever stated in their documentation was "up to 1.7 volts" when alder lake came out.

the voltage wouldn't be presented differently to you.

if you read the article, the article states:
>Intel's advisory says an erroneous CPU microcode is the root cause of the incessant instability issues. The microcode caused the CPU to request elevated voltage levels, resulting in the processor operating outside its safe boundaries
that means the firmware was either miss reading (not translating correctly) the fused voltage tables or was reading it correctly but adding an addition to it due to a bug.

so what you saw requested would be was was drawn because all you can see is the request and what's currently being drawn. you cannot actually see the fused table itself. only the firmware can.
>>
>>101528734
for example, that is the voltage table request. what the firmware is telling the cores to request. that is not the actual hardware fused voltage tables being shown.

>>101528788
>so what you saw requested would be was was drawn because all you can see is the request and what's currently being drawn. you cannot actually see the fused table itself. only the firmware can
lol so you're saying intel tested this feature for months, exposed it to motherboard makers and no one thought it was strange that 1.5 V was showing up in so many places
i'm sorry but this isn't possible, your 13900K won't magically do 6 GHz at 1.3 V
>>
>>101528810
no, because intel's own released documentation to the public, since alder lake release, was "up to 1.7 volts for maximum vcore"
the problem, what i can now understand people are having a difficult time understanding, is that each processor released, has its own silicone grade.
one processor might be ok say with 1.34 volts, while another one might not be so. that's why each processor is shipped from factory with their own unique voltage table. no one processor shares the same voltage table.
>>
>>101527596
>THANK YOU BASED INTEL
Yeah, thanks intel for solving a problem you yourself created, and also making us wait for it.
>>
>>101528837
that means, yes, some 13900k's are fine at 1.5 volts to single core boosting for 56 seconds. others not so safe. if you have faulty firmware requesting to high of a voltage for that particular cpu, well you will have problems.

so if the hardware factory fused voltage table was post to be 1.47v's for that 13900k to single core boost to 5.8ghz for 56 seconds, but the firmware was buggy and instead making that single core request 1.51v's, that could fry that 13900k.

especially if c-states are disabled because then all the cores are getting hit by 1.51 volts instead of that one single core.

>no, because intel's own released documentation to the public, since alder lake release, was "up to 1.7 volts for maximum vcore"
before it literally explodes
people always interpret that sort of technical documentation the wrong way
>is that each processor released, has its own silicone grade
the very best (0.1%) 13900K is programmed to request 1.4 V at 6 GHz
the very worst (0.1%) 13900K is programmed to request 1.5 V at 6 GHz
your average chips falls somewhere in-between, at 1.44-1.46 V

either way it's hell of a lot higher than a 12900K, and remember how 12th gen has no issues?

yes. buildzoid showed that perfectly with his supermicro minecraft server he leased.

it was shoving 1.5v's up to 1.6v's to run non stop, 24/7 5.7-6ghz for months
>>
>>101528788
That would actually be retarded if it happened
iirc the fused voltages are communicated in a 4 or 8-bit hex address such that 0x0000 would mean 0.800v while 0xffff would mean the max vid specified by intel like 1.720v
But this system is decades old so screwing this up would be sheer incompetence
>>
>>101528875
they do still have it. if you enable all the power saving features, including tau in the bias, which is now enabled by default with the intel baseline profile, one core will boost to 6ghz on a 14900k, and after 56 seconds, drop down to 5.7ghz, while another core will pick it up and boost to 6ghz.

it will repeat. you can watch this behavior with cinebench r20 running a single thread benchmark.
>>
>>101528872
Yes, PL1 only limits power to the socket (125W). The CPU can still pull high voltage for ~6Ghz for a single/dual-thread boost. The game servers were hosting typically Minecraft which is single-threaded.

Raptor Lake is just a tweaked Alder Lake with increased L2 cache on the P-cores build on the 7nm node.
Intel boost their higher-end SKUs into the danger zone in order to keep-up with Zen4 and Zen4 V-cache SKUs at gayming of all things. Gayming hasn't been much of an issue for CPU for years unless you are obsessive min-max type that frets over 300FPS+ and >0.03ms frametimes.

I've been undervolting every CPU/GPU I've gotten in the past few years because of how ridiculous manufacturer's have gotten with their voltage curves, which probably saved my 13700k.
>>
>>101528903
motherboard vendors default to the baseline power profiles now with the new bios. example, my asus defaulted to the extreme intel power profile for my 14900k.

shows msi doing the same as asus. gigabyte has done the same. they all have done the same.
>>
>>101528907
>if you don't use stock settings, you get different behavior
obviously, but intel does not recommend that tau should be enabled by default
they don't want you to use it because it decreases performance and it won't fix the degradation
>>101528911
"intel baseline" isn't the basic power profile, it's a reduced power profile for motherboards that can't handle i9s
"intel default" is different (and they still recommend PL1=PL2, if the mobo can handle it)
>>
>>101528911
nta he's not wrong
those settings wont mean jack for "bad" cpus that are already massively degraded and would only help marginally unstable cpus
>>
>>101528932
> intel does not recommend that tau
they do, with the intel baseline profile they recommend it.
its why others like asus made another option, you can see in your bios, for dual tau to allow two threads to boost to 6ghz for 56 seconds instead of 1 thread.
>"intel baseline" isn't the basic power profile
it is the basic power profile. its intel defaults. they have two, performance, and extreme. its what all oems actually follow and now motherboard vendors instead of running everything at unlimited power settings and disabling things like c-states.
>>
>>101528929
what a/c loadline does it use now? 1.10mOhm or 0.50mOhm? The former would be bad news because of way higher voltages leading to risk of degradation
This panic move by intel has been a total shitshow
>>
>>101528941
my post had nothing to do about those settings helping broken cpu's. again, had nothing to do with my post
>>
>>101528959
intel's ac/dc is still a "maximum not to exceed" which is 1.1/1.1 and both ac and dc have to be the same.

i don't know how other boards are doing it, but asus is finally linking ac and dc load lines together by default now. you do have an option to disable linking. at level 4 load line, my ac/dc is 1.0 / 1.0
>>
>>101528926
This Raptor Lake debacle might be the end of that practice and it will start being locked behind "Do at your own risk" barrier. Just like how it was before Kaby Lake/Zen+ era.
>>
>>101528977
1.1mOhm is only appropriate for worst-case A610 boards that have really bad socket impedence
The appropriate ACLL to set should be measured using the Intel VRTT tool for each individual motherboard that has its own unique vrm layout
>>
>>101528979
and i hope so. amd does this.
>>
>>101528996
intel honestly should set the requirements that vendors have to follow. instead of letting them do it themselves because up until now, they honestly didn't do shit themselves.

and seeing that supermicro board buildzoid showcased, they just set it to 1.1/1.1 and called it a day
>>
>>101528996
So if asus' layout has 0.5mOhm of resistance, setting it to 1.10mOhm default would cause an overvoltage of 0.60mOhm, which would be upto 0.120v (?) of overvolting under extremely heavy loads and 0.03v (?) of overvolting under light loads
>>
>>101528957
i was going to say "intel extreme has no tau" but whatever, i don't care anymore
this shit is confusing and broken for no reason

i think it's evidently clear that intel needs to throw out their broken decades-old system and implement a modern opportunistic boost system with wide safety margins like AMD does
concepts like "turbo durations" and "per-core ratios" shouldn't exist on a modern CPU
until they fix that i see no reason to trust any new desktop chip from intel, they can add half-assed workarounds to limit degradation at the cost of performance but i don't trust them to do that since they already went ahead with 13th gen and 14th gen
>>
>>101529015
intel extreme does have tau.
>>
>>101529025
ok
>>
>>101529031
all the extreme profile does is allow for higher all core frequencies compared to performance profile. both share the same single core boosting behavior as both have enough headroom for single core work loads with their allocated wattage / amperage tdp values.
>>
>>101529040
ok

>>
>>101529015
people have been asking intel to set actual requirements for over a decade. this shit has been going on since 2009 when "mutlicore enhancement" hit the scene. and its only gotten worse since.
>>
>>101529054
you don't understand, a modern CPU should be able to protect itself
"tau" or "power delivery profiles" shouldn't be necessary
you can set unlimited PBO limits on AMD and as long as you don't touch the scalar the chip will not degrade, the limits are intended to protect the motherboard only
>>
>>101528884
That explains why Buildzoid was saying "24/7 5.7ghz and 6ghz single for months at 1.5 to 1.6vs" I was confused but it wouldn't have just been 6ghz. That makes sense because it was jumping back and forth after X amount of time.
>>
>>101529079
Yeah, that's because AMD set a limit to PBO for end users didn't kill themselves and AMD had to issue a warranty claim.

Intel didn't because they have been retarded about this since 2009.
>>
>>101529090
>that's because AMD set a limit to PBO for end users didn't kill themselves and AMD had to issue a warranty claim
you can set all PBO limits to 9999 and the chip will not degrade
safety is controlled by an internal "FIT limiter" which takes dozens of variables into account
you can decrease the safety margins with the "PBO scalar" to get higher overclocks, but this isn't what i'm talking about

they don't allow it PBO by default because it would make their power efficiency look worse, remember how the 5950X looked really fucking good in efficiency compared to every other chip out there? that's because it was hitting the PBO limits
>>
>>101529090
Also, PBO is locked and requires end to activate and gives a explicit warnings that activating it may result in data loss, irrevocable damage to hardware and AMD isn't responsible for it. The end user is.

This is why you always claim defective for reason of returning. They send it straight to either ship back to vendor or liquidate it.
Customers that get previously returned items get it because the originally person returned it under another return reasoning like "I didn't want it anymore, changed my mind, ordered by mistake, etc."
>>
>>101529090
thats because intel for a long time had the blessing of headroom with their designs. a 2500k could, without effort, be overclock a minimum of a full 1000mhz. they didn't need to worry about motherboard manufacturers fucking around with shit like multi core enhancement because of that headroom. raptorlake has eliminated that.
>>
>>101528996
Now what is the purpose of AC Loadline? SIMPLE
It's SUPPOSED to boost the operating voltage by PREDICTED CURRENT.
So if your CPU has a 1.30v VID at 5.4 ghz and you are pulling 100 amps of current, with a 1.1 mohm AC Loadline, it should boost the operating voltage by 100 * 1.1=110mv, so the operating voltage BEFORE VDROOP will be 1.410v.
>>
>>101529487
Imagine you have one of those lemons that already have lets say 1.500 V. And you push only at around 50 amps into them

1500mv + (1.1 * 307) - (1.1 * 50) + 0 =
1500mv + (337) - (55) =
1837mv - 55
1782mv = 1.782v

With little to no headroom since 13th gen, Intel really fucked themselves hard. They had to be extremely precised now instead of sitting back and enjoying the headroom to fill in their dumbfuckery.

sounds pretty dangerous. i don't even have the slightest idea what the massive amount of fine tuning values are or do. back in the days this all was much easier
>>
>>101529588
this wouldn't be an issue if intel had actual headroom. with 13th gen pushing frequency up hard and 14th gen continuing it, problem is, for yields, they had to let A LOT OF FUCKING LEMONS through. the "best" silicone has little headroom but enough for most to get by, and the lemons have none. for those lemons to remain stable, EVERY FUCKING THING has to be set just right or they will start dropping like flies, which they are.
with mobo vendors at first running shit with zero limits, unlimited tdp, and fuckery ac/dc load lines, they were just killing lemons left and right. now with the new power profiles it reduces it, but the issue with LIGHT loads are still there. profiles just help reduce failures with heavy loads (which ironically is better because they DROP voltage to stay within the new enforce power limits).

>>
>>101529642
>heavy loads (which ironically is better because they DROP voltage to stay within the new enforce power limits).
what i mean by this, is that ironically enough, you are safer running a heavy load than a light load. if you play games that leverage a lot of threads you ironically will be running at lower voltage than playing a game that only stresses a single or two threads. all because with reduced tdp, frequency will have to drop, which lowers voltage.

well they couldn't afford it which is why they let a lot of lemons through. if they could afford it they wouldn't have needed all the "trash parts." this new update intel will be releasing will probably be cracking down more on mobo vendors fucking with voltages and i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of 13th / 14th ends up having lower clocks with lighter loads. all core sustained probably won't see a change, but single core sustained will probably be nerfed a bit.
amd really won with chiplet designs and not trying to push their shit to the limit.

Good lord Intel what the fuck. It explains why their documentation lists 1.7v's as the max. Its not the max to set, but the max because of transient spikes.

i decided to never buy intel again since they patched away my i5 2500k clock speeds 10 years ago. i made that decision out of spite but i guess it has turned out to be a regular thing that they just do now lol

Why do you think the microcode release is targeted for after zen 5 launches lmao. It's going to be another spectre tier impact.

sellers?
its shipped and sold by amazon.
amazon is the seller.
do you think they care? they rma it from intel and intel eats the cost, not them.
if intel tries coming back claiming the serial is out of warranty, Amazon will hunt down and shoot another intel worker as a threat.

the spectre, meltdown, zombieload patches during 2018-2022 were brutal
7700k's, 8700k's and 9900k's lost between 10-80% of their performance depending on the workload

This sounds like in edge conditions the CPU would request higher voltages than necessary in certain operating conditions due to a bug.

I'm speculating, but imagine you are interpolating along some sort of polynomial in integer math (we are talking microcode here) and you make a mistake in your calculations maybe due to round off and you get a 0xFFFFFFFF voltage request output to your vrm - but only during edge conditions This could be hard as fuck to track down

Amazon will not look in the boxes, as long as there's a CPU the nigger that checks if the box has a processor inside it flags it as correcly returned and the problem becomes the next buyer's problem.

But they havent found the root cause
What they found was A root cause
>>
>>101527596
Faulty internal voltage sensors and usage of impure chemicals (synthesized in India) used during manufacturing. Something like that will be the root cause

inspect element but wouldn't be surprised if it was true either ;p

>>101546511
The root case is hardcore overclocking at the factory, because Intel marketing wants to Intel to #1 no matter the opportunity cost.
