Also, my idle temperatures are about 5C above fluid temperature in my loop when using newer microcodes, whereas idle temps are the same as my fluid temperature when using microcode 49. The latter obviously makes sense and has always been the case with any CPU I've water cooled.

I'm doing this to you tomorrow for the 49 ;)

No problem using it with a CPU 7000 (just that it is not up to date for the latest vulnerabilities, but these vulnerabilities have been around for more than 10 years and have only been discovered recently)

There would just be a bug with the AVX512 if greater than 4200mhz, if I remember correctly (never tested)
Not using any programs supporting the AVX512, I always set this frequency @stock

@vmanuelgm
The Asus also have this "option" since the release of the R6E (if we talk about the same thing in Gigabyte's post)
It's just if we want to have a "protection" temperature different from that applied by the TJmax but it does not modify the TJMax (only the microcode can do it)
Some had set to 90° (the CPU goes into safety at this temperature)

Since I didn't have an Asus from the beginning, don't know if Asus had a 120 degrees limit for CPU protection, but Gigabyte did under TJMax temperature parameter. Windows would only report 105 degrees because of the Microcode limitation in that time. Having a parameter like this is what really matters, in order to avoid processor throttling=practical differences.

U opened threads and threads, Intel or Aida webs for example, they never say bug, u still using Microcode 49. Intel says in its FAQ there is no problem nowadays reaching the TJMax cos of Processor protections. MC 49 bugged for AVX512, obsolete, doesn't protect against anything, performance is similar (u can get 50 points more in Cinebench at most)...

A bit stubborn???


What is Tjunction max temperature?
What is Tcase max temperature?
Could my processor gets damaged from overheating?
It's unlikely that a processor would get damaged from overheating, due to the operational safeguards in place. Processors have two modes of thermal protection, throttling and automatic shutdown. When a core exceeds the set throttle temperature, it will reduce power to maintain a safe temperature level. The throttle temperature can vary by processor and BIOS settings. If the processor is unable to maintain a safe operating temperature through throttling actions, it will automatically shut down to prevent permanent damage.

Does Intel provide temperature ranges for each processor?
How can I check the Tjunction max or Tcase max for my processor?
Is it bad if my processor frequently approaches or reaches its maximum temperature?
Not necessarily. Many Intel® processors make use of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which allows them to operate at very high frequency for a short amount of time. When the processor is operating at or near its maximum frequency it's possible for the temperature to climb very rapidly and quickly reach its maximum temperature. In sustained workloads, it's possible the processor will operate at or near its maximum temperature limit. Being at maximum temperature while running a workload isn't necessarily cause for concern. Intel processors constantly monitor their temperature and can very rapidly adjust their frequency and power consumption to prevent overheating and damage.

How can I check if my system cooling solution is adequate?
Where can I find more information if my computer is overheating?

I don't care about all that :p
I do not do "the hunt" at temperatures (watercooling, etc ...) to have a microcode that heats up more

If you have trouble understanding this, I can't help you
Pass to another thing ;)

Thank you! I appreciate it. I haven't run across ant issues with AVX-512 loads with frequencies higher than 4200MHz. In fact, a few months ago I was running 3dmark Time Spy Extreme's CPU test with the instruction set changed to AVX-512 for a "bench-a-thon" with some other folks and everything ran fine. This was all with microcode 49.

@tistou77, thanks for the releases. Wonderful.

I see that MC69 is the latest release. Are you going to update R6E 3006 bios with MC69?

Avx512 is buggy in MC 49. U can try ycruncher and u'll see it ends stopping upon an error above 4200, or even at lower clocks.

@Tistou77
So u don't care after going around several webs and having been told it must be intentional, also after multiple MC revisions which confirm there is no bug=stubborn.

Then u say u don't want to heat up, who wants to heat up??? Not me, I just checked if your beloved MC is really important to achieve better overclocks , and found it isn't. What it is=obsolete and buggy.

I even tried 2E, before any mitigations to find it is also buggy.

After discussing with Intel Engineer many time. The storyline is very tiny @vmanuelgm

The guy that you havens seen on Intel forum is me not master tistou77.

Idata@intel had told me these by mail since that time 0200004D microcode release.

We’re planning to release solder (STIM) version processors that many user requests soon.
( I guessed he meant the Core X i9 9XXX series aka Skylake X refresh ).
The new microcode design for new processors and compatible with existing products.
It was a little bit higher temperatures but not harmful existing products.*

So if that was a real engineer, he was saying Microcode 4D was inducing higher temperatures, no bug, no damage danger as they also say in their FAQ (nowadays u don't break a CPU because of temperatures, but sustained volts/amps). Did he mention the specific reason to have higher temperatures???

Nothing at all.

From my opinion, Skylake X and Refresh are the same chip model. They’d factory overclock based clock higher around
400-600MHz each models then apply STIM to keep it idle operation temperatures at same level of original models.
The microcode 0200004D and higher may increase TJ Max from 105 to 110 to fit the Skylake X refresh models above.
