07/10/2024: We will never be calm with this processor... After a lot of searching, testing, and failures, I ended up with some efficient settings (https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/1fwnr9f/comment/lqhpu5y/?context=3). Intel has so far released 2 major software updates, integrated into the motherboard manufacturers' BIOS (0x125, 0x129), and we are going for a third (0x12B), while admitting that the source of the problem is indeed the processor and that there will be a speed loss in the i9s "within expected limits."

16/8/2024: I am coming back for one and only reason: because no matter how much I searched for a cure and although Intel supposedly fixed the problem and provided a warranty extension to a total of 5 years, their solution is not correct and the 13th and 14th generation processors continue to be irreversibly damaged as time goes by, it will just take another 1-2 years for the extension. On Gigabyte motherboards, there is a setting that puts an upper limit on CPU requests for power, which if you set to, e.g., 1.370V-1.400V, the problem will not worsen further (source: https://youtu.be/2G-Y0yDSfeA?si=r_ymst1ziRfhtIZ1) and you will still have the actual speeds mentioned (as long as the power is lower than the value you set). I set it to 1.370V.
30/7/2024: Within a few days and after a lot of searching on informative related sites, my rating dropped to the absolute allowable low. And here are the reasons: in the 13th and 14th generation processors, that is, in processors that have already been on the market for over a year, Intel admitted that there is a design flaw whereby the processors request more power from the motherboard, resulting in irreversible damage over time. They will send an update to the BIOS manufacturers with the official fix for the flaw (BIOS UPDATES), but almost all processors have already been affected. Well done Intel, once again you messed it up.

25/7/2024: After several hours of searching and alternatives, I realized (and so did I) Intel's game, that they never had a problem making fast processors, but the materials for current resistance and operating temperatures were always the issue. In short, for the i7, i9 processors now (from 7th-9th generation and onwards), you need BOTH liquid cooling and multiple case fans AND an 800+ power supply AND a large case (to accommodate fans, liquid cooling, etc., and all this to be able to export video at temperatures of 80+ degrees WITHOUT overclocking. Also, you need to be a BIOS guru and underpower the processor to gain 2-5 degrees idle until it starts exporting again. For me, first of all, a machine must be cold, quiet, and fast, and IF I want to push it with overclocking, then let it heat up and let me need 15 fans. Here, however, what we see is that this specific processor, to work at defaults without thermal throttling when exporting video, rendering, etc. (when it is actually working), requires extremely large water cooling (360 or 420), a large case to fit it, and a large power supply to support it along with the graphics card (let's say a 40xx).
11/7/2024: With the same cooling, I upgraded the power supply to 850 watts with dual 8-pin for the motherboard. I set a cutoff at temperatures of 90 degrees and the cores instead of P 5,500 MHz and E 4,300 MHz respectively to P 5,000 MHz and E 3,800 MHz (underclock). I also added power to the Dynamic Vcore (DVID) +0.0030 because it was shutting down by itself (see here why: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Unstable-i7-14700k/m-p/1569028). It is unacceptable to do so many things for something that should work without any intervention. And well, I know a bit to tweak things. A regular user would turn everything back and curse! Updated BIOS with the Intel Defaults option (after the backlash that motherboard manufacturers received) did not fix things, and all of this that you will read in the link was needed (both methods). Ok, and to preempt you, it is a heater and needs water cooling, I know. But here where I have reached and for as long as the Noctua NH-D15 lasts, I will wait...
9/7/2024: With quite a bit of searching, I have brought the machine to stress tests except for OCCT (Power), reaching up to 90 degrees with an upper limit of 95, but with underclocking of the cores. Perhaps with good water cooling, I would have better results because I am currently using an air Noctua NH-D15 with its adapter for socket 1700.
8/7/2024: In the few days that I have had it, it shuts down by itself without me understanding why. I am waiting for the correct power supply with 2x8 pins for the motherboard because I have a suspicion, even though I have removed everything from the conveniences in the BIOS and it is not overclocked. I will definitely provide an update for a complete picture.
