Video Description

Intel's new microcode 0x129 is meant to fix voltages and CPU Instability but what about Oxidation / Oxidization, RMA Issues and now potentially a performance hit for users that might depend on the power profile, so make sure you pick the right one. Let's test a BIOS 10.01 from Jan 2024 against the new 20.01 Bios with Microcode 0x129. We will test Default / Extreme vs Performance vs Baseline Bios Profiles. 👉 SPONSOR 👈 25% Coupon code for software: TL25: Windows 10 Pro Oem Key ($17): https://biitt.ly/XQT7V Windows 11 Pro Oem Key ($23): https://biitt.ly/anjq8 Office2019 Pro Plus Key ($48): https://biitt.ly/4Twqt 👉👉👉👉👉 PRODUCTS USED 👈👈👈👈👈 (Links are Affiliate Links when possible) As a retail affiliate, I am paid a percentage of qualifying purchases at the expense of the retailer. 💎 CPU - https://amzn.to/4dG0eFE 💎 GPU - https://newegg.io/ncf0bf56a7 💎 Motherboard - https://amzn.to/4dkIjVg 💎 Memory - https://amzn.to/4dj41Jc 💎 PSU - https://amzn.to/3yCWsOC 💎 SSD - https://amzn.to/4dkkhcX 💎 Watercooling - yeah, that's gonna be a lot to list.
