12900K weird freezes and loud cpu fan

[sew333]

Hi pc:
12900K with NZXT KRAKEN X73 good temps
2x16GB DDR4 KINGSTON DDR4 3600MHZ in GEAR 1
RTX 3090 Ti Gigabyte Gaming
Aorus Z690 Elite DDR4 bios F5
SSD 1 TB NVM PCIE
Seasonic 1300W PX Prime Platinium

I am in Windows 11.

Hi. Today i get weird freeze in Far Cry 6. I dont know where can be issue. Temps are ok . I mean all suddenly stopped. I was hearing loud cpu fan. Not able to move keyboard and mouse. Only sound was in background.
Then after maybe 15 seconds all unfreeze and normal. It was hardware related i guess? Why that happen?

Also similiar thing i get in Control . But in Control all suddenly stop and not unfreeze like in Far Cry 6. In Control i must log out from system and log back in. I know in Control is E-Cores issue. But why i had similiar thing in Far Cry 6?!

But i am worried why during freeze i can hear loud cpu fan?


Tested ram by Karhu ,HCI Memtest no errors also.

You should update the motherboard bios first, your current version f5 is outdated

F7b -

1. Checksum : 0F11
2. Include Intel® Core™ i9-12900KS Processor support

Isn't Alder Lake only officially specified up to 3200 / DDR4? Maybe 3600 in Gear 1 is a bit too much for the ram controller of your CPU? At least testing it with 3600 / Gear 2 or 3200/Gear 1 would be worth a try (even if you pass memory benchmarks - this does not guarantee that you get no issues in some games).

@MettDamon
I'd be very surprised if this is really the reason.
