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.

When troubleshooting crashes, always set Hardware to baseline/Normal vales (vs Performance/Extreme, that pumps up the voltages)).
Keep the voltages low, and see how it performs.
Edit: If possible, limit your CPU to PL1 (125 Watt) and then check stability.

I appreciate the response. Was hoping for at least several! I'll try this.

If you are crashing you can lower the multi in Intel xtu until it stops crashing. I'm at x53 on all cores on my 14700k and it finally stopped crashing. Also set the baseline specs if possible. The other two profiles (performance, extreme) need better cooling like an aio and create a ton of heat.

How do you do this? I've seen this and feel ignorant as hell.
