Intel 第 14 代 Core 桌上型處理器。
在近期陸續傳出 Intel 第 13／14 代處理器在不鎖頻的 K 版處理器具有遊戲執行不穩定的狀態，Intel 在周末發表提供給國外媒體的不公開聲明表示，官方觀察到這個問題跟規格外的操作條件有關，導致處理器經常在高溫條件下以高電壓／高頻率運作，導致處理器不穩定的狀態出現，雖然 Intel 並未直接指出原因，但大多數回報這問題的使用者都是是使用具備解鎖／超頻能力的主機板，以下是國外媒體網站上揭露的 Intel 官方聲明：
Intel has observed that this issue may be related to out-of-specification operating conditions resulting in sustained high voltage and frequency during periods of elevated heat.
Analysis of affected processors shows some parts experience shifts in minimum operating voltages which may be related to operation outside of Intel specified operating conditions.
While the root cause has not yet been identified, Intel has observed the majority of reports of this issue are from users with unlocked/overclock capable motherboards.
Intel has observed 600/700 Series chipset boards often set BIOS defaults to disable thermal and power delivery safeguards designed to limit processor exposure to sustained periods of high voltage and frequency, for example:
– Disabling Current Excursion Protection (CEP)
– Enabling the IccMax Unlimited bit
– Disabling Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) and/or Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB)
– Additional settings which may increase the risk of system instability:
– Disabling C-states
– Using Windows Ultimate Performance mode
– Increasing PL1 and PL2 beyond Intel recommended limits
Intel requests system and motherboard manufacturers to provide end users with a default BIOS profile that matches Intel recommended settings.
Intel strongly recommends customer’s default BIOS settings should ensure operation within Intel’s recommended settings.
In addition, Intel strongly recommends motherboard manufacturers to implement warnings for end users alerting them to any unlocked or overclocking feature usage.
Intel is continuing to actively investigate this issue to determine the root cause and will provide additional updates as relevant information becomes available.
Intel will be publishing a public statement regarding issue status and Intel recommended BIOS setting recommendations targeted for May 2024.
Intel 也在聲明中表示，600／700 系列晶片組的主機板為了追求效能表現，有些會停用包括 CEP（Current Excursion Protection）、Thermal Velocity Boost（TVB） 和／或 Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost （eTVB）、C-States，並且透過增加 PL1／PL2 設定超過 Intel 預設上限、開啟 IccMax Unlimited bit 等設定等，在長時間運作下可能會導致處理器的熱衰退狀況提早出現，造成效能下降甚至是系統無法運作等問題。
而 Intel 也將在五月份公布調查的詳細結果與建議的 BIOS 設定，不過在這之前，包括華碩、技嘉等主機板廠商在 4 月份的 BIOS 更新中，已經開始陸續加入了『Intel BaseLine』的設定項目，透過限制加速模式時的功耗來保護處理器，建議若是有疑慮的夥伴可以到官網上查詢下載更新。
華碩的主機板最新 BIOS 版本已經加入了 Intel BaseLine 設定檔。
技嘉的主機板新版 BIOS 也有 Baseline 設定支援。
