Correcting frequency dips for Intel i7-14700KF in Forza Horizon 5
The default voltage strategy on this chip is a complete joke. While driving at high speeds, the clock was swinging wildly between 3.6-5.4GHz. Logs showed the core voltage bouncing between 1.20-1.32V, which made the frame rate look like a saw blade—absolutely infuriating. I tried a BIOS update, but the downclocking actually got worse in certain lighting scenes, which was just depressing. I went into the BIOS and set a positive 0.06V offset, and the temps stabilized between 75-81℃. Even then, it wasn't perfect until I disabled all power-saving modes and locked the High Performance power plan. The CPU package power sat at 150-170W with fans at 2100 RPM. After exporting the voltage table and testing, the clock fluctuations are gone, and the fans have settled at 1400-1600RPM.
