Overview

• Tests reveal negligible performance drops in most benchmarks for the Core i9-14900K with the 0x129 update.
• The update addresses high voltage requests that caused CPU instability and potential damage.
• ASUS has rolled out BIOS updates for over 200 motherboards to incorporate the new microcode.
• Gaming performance remains largely unaffected, with only minor frame rate decreases observed.
• Affected CPUs that already exhibit instability issues will still need replacement under warranty.
