When will Dell provide new BIOS with the Intel 0x129 microcode?

When will Dell provide new BIOS with the Intel 0x129 microcode to fix the Intel 13th/14th gen CPU issues?  Some other manufactures have already released the new bios.

They were just released!  Check the downloads now and they are there for all models.

I think you mean 1.5.0 instead of 1.0.5. Regardless, all of those you listed are July, which we already know about.  There is a permanent bios fix that is for August.  That's the one we are interested in.   They will all come out at the same time, whenever that is.  Hopefully any day now.....

Dell will release them when they are ready to.  RS/TE members and Mods would not have that release schedule.

They were released for Alienware Aurora R15 desktops so i'm sure the rest will be soon...

@Alchos​ this is not true. The latest BIOS updates issued by Dell do not address the Intel microcode

August 18th, 2024 08:58

@5jays​ no they have not, this is incorrect

Mine is so bad now it crashes within 5 minutes of just web surfing.  If we need a new chip, can we pay extra for an upgrade?  I've got the 13900K.

I do not see this update in the Dell Command Update utility yet (I do see BIOS update 1.16.0 in the download portal, which assume fixes the issue).

Is there a timeframe when this will be available through the Dell Command Update utility?
