Intel 13th Gen Bios Update & Photoshop/Lightroom Issues

Question

Just completed a build last month that I began working on since February. (ASUS z690i, i9-13900k)

In June I started reading about the voltage issues, high temps, BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), & crashes during gaming. I'm a content creator/real estate photographer, not a gamer. I do not tax my system as hard as someone who uses it for gaming. Haven't used the pc much, loaded apps and did some light editing & temps only went as high as 52C, @idle it 39C. Way within operational limits.

Haven't done the bios update as yet that Intel has advised to curb these high voltages & temps. I did read that benchmark tests were done to see if the update affected games & some creator editing programs, the bios update did affect Adobe Premiere Pro by 42% in one of the tests, that's a big hit. Also some games took a hit as well. But most popular games were unaffected or took a slight hit of 2-4%.

Has anyone here done the update & experienced a workflow issue with Lr & Ps? I want to do the update to protect my cpu long term but hoping it doesn't affect my workflow in Lr & Ps. Just can't have any lagging when importing or exporting multiple images between Lr>Ps (Luminosity Blending)>Lr, or blending multiple images in Ps, etc... I also have some large PSD files that I use for advertising, mailers, & postcards. *

Looking forward to hearing anyones experiences &/or suggestions.

* As a side note, since my highest temps are around 52C & way within operational norms maybe I should hold off and not do the update as advised. I monitor my temps in my taskbar using HWiNFO64 so I always have a visual.

I'm currently experiencing the blue screen but I'm not positive that it's occuring simultaneously with the use of Adobe LR and/or PS. I will say that I have noticed that my computer crashes when I am using LR.

Long story short, I began receiving the error intermittently about 2 weeks ago. Spoke to Dell who stated that it was a 13th and 14th Gen issue with Intel processors. A tech came out today to replace the processor. All was going well until I was in LR again and the system again crashed. The next step is to send my PC to them but I'm not certain, based on other articles on the internet, that this will permanently fix the issue. Perhaps it's something on Adobe's end that needs to be repaired? I'm not sure.

I'm not a gamer but a commercial photographer who uses Lightroom, Photoshop and Premier Rush to edit photos and videos. The error is annoying at best - it restarts my system and I have to reopen programs. However, I don't know if this will cause long-term damage to the computer.
