If you own a 13th or 14th-gen Intel CPU, then you’ll be glad to hear that the new microcode stability fix for your CPU is now starting to roll out, thanks to Asus and MSI. Following months of reports about Intel CPU instability, including game crashes in titles based on Unreal Engine 5, the new Intel CPU fix is designed to address an error in the microcode of its CPUs, which the company claims is causing its chips to make “incorrect voltage requests.”
The update is advised for any CPU with a TDP of over 65W, which is the vast majority of processors in the Intel 13th-gen and 14th-gen lineups, including its best gaming CPU, the Core i9 14900K. To apply the new update, you’ll need to update the firmware on your motherboard, otherwise known as flashing the BIOS, and both Asus and MSI have announced that they’re starting to roll out the update on their motherboards.
