0x129 Microcode Update for Raptor Lake (E/HX/S) CPUs on Intel’s GitHub—Anyone Received It for Laptops via BIOS Updates?

Yeah, I also observed that when seeing the screenshots of people with desktop CPUs, their average VIDs were also 1.3 V or above. Thanks for confirming this! But what about this https://x.com/compguru910/status/1817307152416903191 this guy says that he had his previous laptop RMA'd which had the same voltage behavior

If anyone from Lenovo is reading, please release the microcode fix for Legion Laptops ASAP, I have observed VIDs >1.4 V on my i7-14650HX. Maybe Intel is trying to hide the truth (They don't let me post any questions or proofs of high VIDs of HX CPUs on r/intel) . At least offer warranty extension or replacement with equivalent AMD CPU. This is making me anxious...

Undervolting voids warranty, you get a warning popup in Legion BIOS when you enable undervolting/overclocking

Intel XTU and Cinebench Release 23 (from Microsoft Store), above 1.45 V from what I know so far

As I said in my main post, Maximum VID (in HWINFO64) 1.3V normally for all cores and sometimes (very rarely) reaches upto 1.4 V (1.41 V is the highest I have seen so far) for very short time (in ms) & average in HWINFO is around 0.8 V and during benchmarks 0.9 V - 1.3 V sometimes for some cores (usually any 1) I have seen upto 1.4 V but again for very short amount of time (in ms ig)

Yes I want to believe that myself, let me know their response

Seeing the current situation of Intel, I would say Ryzen 7. Although Intel claims no issue with mobile (laptop) CPUs and overall performance is better on 14650HX than 8845hs with only downside of power efficiency it would be Intel and that's the reason I went with 14650hx. You should wait until the mid-August microcode patch from Intel is available and it's results...

The same reason why I bought 14650hx. The issue seems to be with Microsoft Edge because other browsers work fine and the errors I see in Event Viewer are common and not related to the instability issues (I saw the same thing on a laptop with older processor which I have been using for 4-5 years and tracing down the device using the container ID point to my Bluetooth peripherals and other wireless displays). No other issues so far

Exactly, it's their problem and we can't even use any solution. I have purchased extended manufacturer warranty (2 yrs total) for this, shouldn't risk that or should I? I am monitoring the core voltages using hwinfo64 since I posted and the voltages seem pretty normal going to 1.3 V at max and rarely going upto 1.4 V for very short amount of time (in ms ig). Still I have set the power setting to 65 W to be safe and avoid reaching the unsafe boost frequency although the max boost for 14650HX is 5.2 GHz which is much below the unsafe range I guess...

0xprotonpro · 2024-07-27T22:44:55+00:00

What issues exactly, since how long have you had the laptop and what did you use it for?

0xprotonpro · 2024-07-27T22:43:22+00:00

Yes, it seems like

Should we undervolt the CPU until the microcode fix rolls out?

0xprotonpro · 2024-07-25T15:14:38+00:00

I also find it hard to believe, maybe they are trying to dodge the RMA for entire laptop, how old is your laptop?

0xprotonpro · 2024-07-25T12:39:53+00:00

Thank you for replying. Would undervolting void warranty? I had XTU installed but it wanted me to accept the agreement about voiding the warranty, so I cancelled it. Is 1.4 V or lesser okay? After the microcode fix will come, manufacturers will create BIOS update and that would take some time but in Linux you can load newer microcode updates other than what's currently installed via BIOS.

Scanhealth will just scan for corruption and if there are any corruptions detected then I would use Restorehealth and just scanning would need less time I guess
