The situation with unstable operation of Intel Core processors of the 14th and 13th generations is developing. Recently, the developers of Path of Titans made loud statements, recommending switching to AMD. Also, the developers of Warframe presented their statistics of failures and talked about their personal experience of fighting the unstable operation of older Core processors. Now Epic Games, which is facing numerous failures on user PCs with Intel processors, has responded. The company has released a special instructionshow to solve this problem.
Let’s note right away that we are talking about problems on the flagship Core i9-13900K/KF/KS or Core i9-14900K/KF/KS. Users are offered to enable the Intel Fail Safe mode in the SVID settings for ASUS, Gigabyte or MSI motherboards. In fact, this is a standard Intel recommendation for processors that show unstable operation. And it is also associated with a certain drop in performance, which is an unpleasant fact in the case of a flagship CPU. Epic Games believes that this operation alone is enough to solve or minimize the problem of failures. But we will add that it is also recommended to update the UEFI firmware to the latest version. In the situation described by the Warframe developers, it was the UEFI update that helped their employee get rid of failures on the problematic PC.
Obviously, in most cases, UEFI operations will help improve the stability of processors, but in general, it hits the company’s reputation. Moreover, the problem concerns top models that are in demand among professionals and enthusiasts.
