The BIOS updates provide the ability to disable the CEP function (Current Excursion Protection) on previously unsupported Intel CPUs and MSI motherboards, allowing supported users to disable.
In context: Keeping your CPU cool plays a huge role in leveraging the processor’s computing power. As it turns out, many Intel 14th-gen Core CPU owners opt to reduce the CPU voltage in an attempt to lower temperatures. However, in that process, the performance of non-K CPUs drops significantly due to CEP. This week, MSI posted new BIOS options that allow more 12th, 13th, and 14th-gen Core users to lower peak temperatures without compromising on performance.
The BIOS updates provide the ability to disable the CEP function (Current Excursion Protection) on previously unsupported Intel CPUs and MSI motherboards, allowing supported users to disable CEP across select Z790, B760, and H610 platforms. According to MSI, additional firmware support is expected for other MSI B760 and 600 series boards by the end of this month.
