Gigabyte, MSI are tackling Core i9 crashing issues with BIOS updates and user guides

Gigabyte AM5 VRM.

Gigabyte and MSI have officially addressed concerns regarding Core i9 stability. Gigabyte has published new beta BIOS updates featuring a new Intel Baseline profile that will run the CPU at Intel's default specifications. MSI has taken another route, instead providing a tutorial on how to tune its motherboard firmware to run Intel's CPUs at Intel's default power limit and voltage specifications.

Gigabyte's new beta BIOS updates are available now and are exclusive to its Z790 and B760 motherboards. The new BIOS introduced a new turbo profile dubbed Intel Baseline, which is located in the Turbo Power Limits option under the Advanced CPU Settings menu. Gigabyte notes that enabling the new Baseline profile will disable its PerfDrive feature, which is an automated performance-enhancing feature from Gigabyte.
