Crashes with Intel 13900K
Ladies and gents. I've come seeking help to manage my frustration with the turn crashes in TW:W3. I know this is an issue with the 13th and 14th gen Intel processors.
I've followed the latest Intel BIOS settings and even went with "Performance" versus "Extreme". I still get crashes. It genuinely saddens me, man, because I played tons of TW:W2 on my old rig.
Anyone have this issue and solved it? Do the dark gods need to intervene?
I've attached said Intel recommendations sheet for reference. Will also post to the Warhammer specific sub.

I know this is an issue with the 13th and 14th gen chips. Sounds like there's really not much I can do programming-wise and may need to RMA (if possible), change thermal paste, etc. Just not sure.
Edit: Apologies. I'd already responded to a comment you made with something similar. Lol

The voltage degradation issue and temperature issues are separate problems. You could solve the temperature problem by investing in a stronger CPU cooler, and that may or may not solve the crashes.

Are those pretty easy to change out?

Generally yes. If the system is pre-built by a company that uses custom parts like Dell/Alienware, then it could be more complicated.

Got it from Cyberpower back in May 2023.
