Microcode and intel baseline

This is just my opinion.

The microcode plus base line setting is to protect the CPU from cooking, I can't tell you what to do with your PC. If you want to try performance that's up to you but be aware it could degrade the silicon if you do. At any rate intel has increased their warranty so you should be alright ether way.

If it were me though I will base line and microcode myself.

I agree, thanks!

Although id still be interested to hear an exact description of each setting from the bios designers, just for knowledge etc :)

The problem is, Intel has stated to run the Intel Defaults. But the ASROCK boards do not lsit this an an option, so we have no idea how to remain safe with these issues.

We need information on WHICH setting is recommended by Intel to not further ruin our CPUs.

I have the Z790 PG Riptide latest 16.01 bios.

There is no "Intel Defaults" power option. We currently have:

BIOS Default
Performance Mode
Baseline Mode

On investigation, the power settings options in the microcode bios update have the following Intel recomended Power Delivery Profile settings:

ACCMAX: Baseline175A / Performance 200A
ACCMAX_App: Baseline 150A / Performance 170A
Power Limit 1 (PL1) Baseline 125W / Performance 181W
Power Limit 2 (PL2) Baseline 143W / Performance 181W

Interestingly, when scrolling down to the PL1 settings, it auto changes to 125W without any user input. I have had to load defaults for this to not save.

If anyone has any thoughts on how to prevent this please advise.
Thank you.
