This new i7 14700k is generating extremely high temperatures.
Reviewing the discussion: temperatures and voltage performed well after the BIOS update. However, when I logged into Windows, I encountered the usual BSOD and felt unsure about next steps. I plan to re-flash the BIOS using a fresh USB drive since my original one had some damage. Any advice? Edited February 9, 2024 by daybs typo
This is a total change of topic. I'd recommend making a new topic and marking that @RONOTHAN## suggestion to update the BIOS was the solution here . Having to make a lot of assumptions here, but you probably upgraded everything and re-used the old drive and Windows? If you don't care about your data, just re-install Windows (I'd recommend Windows 11 for that processor.) Make sure you delete all partitions on the drive before installing (again, making a ton of assumptions here) If you do care about your data, post your old build so that we can figure out the best approach. There's a good chance it will be very difficult to get it booting in the new computer depending on what your old build was.

Given the only thing you changed was the BIOS, I'd hazard a guess that this BIOS revision also has issues with the 14700K. MSI's LGA 1700 BIOSes for the 14th gen CPUs really have been terrible (speaking from experience with those BIOS revisions), so I would not be surprised if their latest one is broken. Maybe try to downgrade the BIOS to revision 7D93v13 or 7D93v12 to see if that does anything. That said, there's a decent chance that your board running your CPU at 1.65V+ (we have no idea what it was running at inside the OS, it could've been even higher than that) for a few days degraded it enough that it's not stable at stock anymore. It wouldn't be your fault for that, either MSI or Intel should be willing to RMA it, just know that you will have to go through the process of getting a replacement. You can check this somewhat by setting the CPU frequency to 4GHz (the CPU ratio to 40x) and the voltage to 1.2V while XMP is disabled, if the system still blue screens it's a BIOS issue, if it gets into Windows it's a CPU issue.
