According to WCCF Tech, recently, the gaming community using Intel 13th and 14th generation CPUs has encountered some stability issues when playing games. Recognizing this problem, motherboard manufacturer MSI quickly came up with a solution to help users improve gaming performance and fix this annoying problem.

It is known that the Intel CPU instability problem affects many users. According to some reports, some Intel Core i9-13900K and Core i9-14900K CPUs have experienced instability when playing games or running heavy tasks. This has prompted motherboard manufacturers to investigate, with MSI providing two main solutions in the BIOS to solve the problem.
Restore CPU cooler power limit to default
This solution helps return the CPU cooler fan's power and voltage limit settings to default, ensuring processor stability in terms of temperature.
MSI motherboard users can do this easily via the 'CPU Cooler Tuning' menu in the BIOS, select 'Boxed Cooler' to reset the Power Limit option to 253W. However, it should be noted that this may slightly impact CPU performance.

Restore power pressure CPU returns to default
Similar to the above solution, users can restore the CPU voltage to default settings by selecting the 'Intel Default' option in the 'CPU Lite Load Control' section of the MSI BIOS. It should be noted that default settings may cause CPU voltage to increase higher.
Note: If you feel that Intel's default CPU voltage (Intel Default) is too high and want to reduce it, you can manually adjust it in the 'CPU Lite Load' section and select Normal mode. You should start from Mode 15 and gradually reduce the voltage by trying lower modes until you find the lowest stable mode.

Although MSI's move to guide BIOS setup is welcome, there is currently no official statement from Intel on this issue. Additionally, the temporary solutions offered by MSI and ASUS caused performance to degrade significantly, even up to 15% in some cases.
