I have had open tickets with ASROCK and Intel, and still can't get a straight answer on what ASROCK MB power setting to be compliant with the latest August Intel Microcode patch.

Does anyone have a link to ASROCK or Intel that shows the watts that keep the 13th gen i5 in compliance?

The following power profiles ALL have 181w for both CPU power states. Why? What is correct for this board?

BIOS Defaults 125W/181W
Performance 181W/200W
Intel baseline 125W/181W

System:

CPU: Intel Core i5 13600K 13th Gen. Raptor Lake

MAINBOARD: ASRock Z790 PG Riptide BIOS 16.01

The Bios Default is the Intel Performance Profile.

ASROCK has not been able to answer this. Thanks for your info, but unless I can can find a direct link or info from ASROCk directly, I can not be certain.

General
-------
CEP=enabled
TVB=eabled
TVB voltage optimizations=enabled
ICCMAX Unlimited=disabled
TjMax Ofset=0

for your i5
-----------
PL1=181 Watt
PL2=181 Watt
ICCMAX=200 Amp

so this matches the default bios profile.

I think this is supposed to happen on the default profile, pl4 on IA and Ring. I'm guessing it just means TVB kicked in because you're over 70 DegC. I've heard rising iccmax to 240A could help, but seems the wrong way to go about it. Haven't checked this myself (yet) as a found the performance loss was minimal in for ex. cb23. There I noticed about 1k loss in multi score. In games I didn't notice it at all. Right now i'm on defaults just to see how that's working out, but at some stage I'll start tweaking the settings again, if anything useful comes out I'll post back.

On performance profile it does not happen, but you will go slightly out of intel spec. As long as you're not pushing over 1.5V VCore or extreme multipliers I would not worry too much with an i5, but if you want to stay in spec, I guess you have to get used to it.

Can anybody confirm which power profile is Intel recommended?

I have a B760m Steel Legend board with a 13600k. I have two options: BIOS default and Baseline

Which one should I use?

Ok thanks. I was using baseline all this time but with custom power settings to reduce power draw, voltage and temps. Hopefully I haven't degraded my cpu this way. I was using it because 2 months back people were recommending that to me when I asked in a reddit thread.

Does the baseline degrade the cpu or is it just too performance conservative too use?

Does the Intel microcode fix apply in baseline as well?
