Taipei, Taiwan – MSI has addressed recent reports of instability issues affecting Intel’s 13th and 14th-generation desktop processors. The company confirms they are working closely with Intel to investigate the problem and develop a solution.

While the exact cause remains under investigation, Intel has identified two potential contributing factors:

  • Elevated operating voltage: Some processors are experiencing higher than recommended voltage levels, leading to instability.
  • Microcode bug: An issue with Intel’s microcode algorithm might be causing incorrect voltage requests to the processor.

MSI is developing a BIOS update that incorporates a fix based on the new microcode Intel is releasing in mid-August. This update will be made available to MSI customers as soon as possible after the microcode release.

For the latest updates and information about the BIOS update, MSI recommends following their official channels:
