I have two nearly identical systems if we're talking CPU + RAM gaming performance. Both systems are tested in any synthetic benchmark possible and I'm yet to notice any sign of instability.
However, in Cyberpunk 2077, i5-10600KF (5200 MHz OC) runs perfectly fine and dips here and there as expected because this game is massively bloated and "needs" a gigachad CPU to run fast in Dogtown. But it does never crash.
Next, i5-12400F with the exact same RAM, SSD, GPU, software etc gets me watchdog timeouts when I hack a lot of enemies at once. This NEVER happens on an older system no matter how many times I repeat this action. I catch this error in my face after second or, best case scenario, fifth consecutive 5+ targets hacking in the row if I'm running the game on a 12400F. 10600KF took me about 70 such daisy chains to ultimately get bored of this stability.
I repeat, I used the exact same PSU, GPU, RAM, SSD, OS, and other software with identical settings. The only different things were CPU + motherboard. Does this mean my i5-12400F is borked? Once again, it's the only scenario it fails. I run it at OOTB settings, it's not an overclockable CPU and my mobo doesn't allow for BCLK OC either. Didn't bother undervolting the CPU either.
What I tried already:
• Complete mods removal and starting a new game.
• Reverting everything to stock values in terms of overclocking (also running RAM on JEDEC speeds).
• Replacing the PSU.
• Replacing RAM.
• Reinstalling the OS.
• Disabling CPU cores.
• Slowing CPU down.
What I didn't try yet:
• A different LGA1700 CPU or motherboard (don't have money to pay for them anyway).
UPD: seems the BIOS update has done the trick. Weird but OK.
