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.

Don't do anything if you're not getting BSODs or hard restarts.
Your motherboard and BIOS set the parameters, and are probably not affected by this.

That said, BIOS updates are easy and safe nowadays. Back when I started out with computers, many years ago, a BIOS update always carried a real risk of bricking the machine if you didn't do it right 😉

Yeah I hear you. I'm just trying to get a consensus of what people are doing & if they've experienced any lagging issues by doing the update. If it doesn't affect Lr & Ps I'll go for it, I'm still on the fence here, haven't experienced BSOD but it did stop working on me just once, but is that worth doing the update? I'm kinda leaning towards a wait & see what happens. I haven't tried any other pc forums as yet since most are all for gamers. That's why I wanted to get feedback from this forum.

Okay, I understand what you're saying. My concern from what I've read & information on this Intel issue from YT videos is that if you do experience BSOD & crashes your cpu may already be fried & it's a waste of time doing the update, it's toast & you have to send your cpu in for a replacement. I want to avoid this. The update prevents this from happening by letting you set Intel Default Settings, but still allows you to overclock if you choose too. I don't tinker with overclocking.
One thing I didn't mention, 3 weeks ago I was watching a YT video, it kicked me out my system & restarted on its own. I've used this pc off & on the last 2 months, not been my daily pc I use & it only happened once, I chalked it up to a glitch in my system. It hasn't happened since. Thus prompting my question should I or shouldn't I do the update.

Nah, I don't believe that. It sounds like a classic case of "some guy on the internet said".
On the other hand, if this bothers you, then you should do the BIOS update and be done with it. It's just a BIOS update.
I'll step back now, I don't have a lot of specific information on this issue. Let's hear from someone who has done the BIOS update and why.

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.

I did a bios update on my pc. I just completed this build & haven't really used it to much, just surfing the web & downloading Lr, Ps, DaVinci Resolve, along with Greg Benz Luminosity Plug In & other apps. I was waiting to do the update before long extended use & frying my cpu. So far its been working fine, been a few weeks now no issues.
I read an article yesterday from PC World that mentioned the latest Windows 11 Update was having issues & not to update to 24H2, I have 23H2 & its working fine. Maybe that's your problem. I stopped my Windows Updates for the time being after readiung the article. The topic/headline on PC World said 'Windows 11 2024 update is now also killing internet connections' Windows users are reporting network connectivity issues after installing the Windows 11 24H2 update. Also went on to say a rollback appears to solve the issue in most cases, but there's also a chance this workaround won't work. One user said they tried to rollback to 23H2 & didn't work & have burnt several machines requiring a complete rebuild from scratch.
In that same article another further down another headline stated "What you can do if you're affected" If the Windows 11 2024 Update is causing you internet connectivity problems, there's only one solution as of this writing: undo the update and roll back to Windows 11 23H2.
