How to fix voltage drops on Intel Core i7-14700KF in Far Cry 7?
It's honestly ridiculous. Every time I go for a stealth kill, the game turns into a low-budget slideshow, skipping frames three times a second. I monitored the i7-14700KF and saw the Vcore swinging wildly between 1.1V and 1.3V during physics-heavy scenes, forcing the CPU to trigger internal error correction. I tried switching Windows to 'Balanced' power mode, which just lowered the temp by 5℃ but did nothing for the stutters—a total waste of my life. I went straight into the BIOS, added a +0.05V offset to the Vcore, and capped the PL1 power limit at 253W. Using RTSS, my 1% lows jumped from 25 FPS to 50 FPS. The funniest part was when I fat-fingered the voltage setting on the first try and the CPU hit 100℃ instantly, triggering a hard shutdown. My heart nearly stopped. Now it runs at 75-82℃. Exported the WHEA logs to confirm the voltage spikes are gone.
