Problems with Intel 13th and 14th generation chips
Hello everyone, I upgraded my PC to an Intel i7 13700K, an ASUS motherboard, and 32GB of Corsair RAM. I faced some compatibility problems with the RAM and needed to update the BIOS. Once I updated the BIOS, I observed that the CPU voltage was 1.465V, the CPU temperature was 60°C at idle and rose to 80-90°C during intense gaming like Rocket League. After reducing the voltage to 1.35, the clock speed dropped from 5.3 to 5.2, which is excellent. At idle around 30°C and under load just over 60°C, this setup works well. This time it’s not Rocket League, but games like Hunt:Showdown or Cyberpunk 2077 are great. I also purchased an AIO Corsair H150 RGB 360mm Liquid Cooler to ensure stability. I didn’t realize before lowering the voltage that the red LED on the motherboard stopped lighting up when I played games. What do you think? Am I safe, or could my CPU be faulty? I’m asking because there have been reports of issues with 13th and 14th generation Intel CPUs, such as overheating or failure.
It seems you're referring to a set of signs. If it took you a while to realize them, it's unlikely your computer is faulty.
