So I updated my BIOS version after seeing the recent instability issues with 13/14th gen intel processors and since updating my cpu core voltage and temps are considerably higher while running the same programs I would before for the same amount of time.

Previous temps after 2-3 hours of gaming would be around 40-60c CPU and package at 60-70c, core voltage would usually be 1.359v

Now after the BIOS update im running at 70c CPU temps and voltage is 1.474

Same games, same amount of time playing, same bios/tuning settings as before

Specs Processor 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-13600K, 3500 Mhz, 14 Core

Motherboard ASUS PRIME Z690-P WIFI D4

BIOS was version 2014 (2022) and updated to 3601 (2024)

Any ideas? Are these still safe voltages/running temps for long periods (up to 8+ hours sometimes)?

Thanks
