I recently built a new system with a i9 149kf and a Ausus Formula motherboard. For a VFIO system so I could run windows and play some games.

It was a nightmare to get running stable. None is the default settings the motherboard used worked. Games crashed, kernel and emacs compiles failed.

End result I had to cap turbo to 5.4ghz on a 6ghz chip, and enable settings that capped max watts and temperature for throttling to 90c.

System seems stable now. Can get sustained 5.4ghz without throttling and enjoying games at 120fps with 4k resolution.

Even though it is working I do feel a way about not being able to run the system at any of the advertised numbers I paid for.
