Intel 14900KS

Ram DDR5 128Gb

Windows

(No OC, everything box default from mobo to CPU. Turn out, box default is not good, the mobo brand will OC more power consumption than normal CPU, cause crashes for this 14th gen)


I can fully make the system run without any problem, final result:

Pyro 7.45 minutes

Grain 3 minutes

Flip 20minutes



Result for -> Disable Hyper Threading

Flip 20m 04

Grain 3m 09.6

Pyro crashes (about 6m on 300/400 frames before crashes)



Result for -> Disable Hyper Threading, Disable Efficient-core (all)

Flip 30m55s

Grain 5.73635 minutes

Pyro 16m13


Here's how I set up the motherboard: even the 'stock setting' actually means the motherboard is overclocking beyond the chip's factory default. That's why this CPU keeps crashing when using demanding programs like Unreal Engine and Houdini, especially during heavy overnight rendering sessions.


I'm using an MSI MEG Z790 ACE motherboard. It's running on the 7D86v1A1 beta BIOS version. I haven't updated to the latest BIOS because it doesn't let me tweak the chip's power settings.

Here is the setting:

Set short duration turbo power = 253

Set long duration turbo power = 253

Set max core/cache current = 307Amps

XMP disable

"Intel C-State" to Enabled

"C1E Support" to Enabled

"Package C-State Limit" to C10 or the highest C-number there is (deepest C-State = most power saving in idle)

"Intel Speed Shift" to Enabled

Cpu Lite Load Control: Intel Default


Gathered this helpful info from the Reddit gaming community, Houdini forums, Intel, and MSI mobo users. Now the system's running smoothly for Houdini.


FYI
