BIOS Confusion by ASUS

[Da'vidinchi]

I currently run an i9-14900K CPU w/ BIOS 2703. My current BIOS states 'The option to disable C1E in the BIOS has been removed to ensure it remains enabled, reducing processor stress and maintaining stability per Intel's recommendation.'

ASUS rolls out 2801, stating 'Enhanced system performance, stability and allowed the C1E power state to be disabled.'

First, they say to keep C1E enabled, but now disabled? Am I understanding that weird logic right?

[_I_]

they probably forced it enabled it til they found a good voltage for the c1e disabled settings with the later bios update

Looks like Intel themselves turned that option off.
My 14900k does great with Ecores disabled along with hyperthreading disabled.
Locked at 5.5ghz. Thermal GRizzly CPU contact frame is a must because the standard
socket hold down warps the die, less contact with cooler. GamersNexus did videos on it.

it does great cutting out half the performance by shutting down half the cores and then turning off hyper threading like it was 2014 all over again......

intel proving their still garbage all these years later......

turning off the e cores makes it not use them, forcing the load to the p cores
ht doesnt really help that much either, since its just sharing the fpu
its forcing all the work to be done on single p core with no ht getting things done faster
which is where it counts in games
as long as the cpu has more cores than active threads its faster than with e cores and ht enabled

also much lower power draw on the cpu, which was one reason they were degrading faster
