Asus wins vs Core i9 Stability issues! Easy fixes for the i9-13900K and 14900K
384If you've got an Intel Core i9 processor (especially a Core i9-14900K or 13900K) then you might have noticed some stuttering and stability issues. This includes games losing frame rates, being unstable or crashing a lot.
Turns out it's your processor, but it's the motherboard that's the problem. You might have seen some of this in the news! (see here https://youtu.be/Nm6fXM5Qk60)
Igor's lab got a statement direct from Intel about this:

And this update direct from Intel

Following that various motherboard manufacturers released BIOS updates and settings changes for motherboards to counter the problem. One of them included Asus.

Asus's latest updates include Intel Baseline profiles which reduce the Power Limits and other things to help with stability. I used my i9 and the Strix Gaming WiFi 2 to show you how to do it!
