Hey everyone, has anyone noticed the BIOS update to 0x129 Intel microcode affecting existing OCs? My 13600k on an MSI Pro-A Wifi Z790 was stable with vCore 1.2, P-Cores 54, E-Core 44, and no other BIOS changes. After updating to the latest MSI BIOS, the OC became unstable. I only changed the default Intel settings when entering values, but I haven’t seen what 1.2v supports yet—I’m sticking with BIOS defaults now. Interestingly, Cinebench worked after the update, though Horizon Forbidden West crashed on the shader cache screen, which caught my attention. Game performance is normal at stock settings.

It seems the voltages might be lower than expected and the LLC configuration could have shifted. Have you noticed any changes in voltage levels? You may want to boost it slightly, though I’d advise against it if your voltages are already high.
