This tool is probably going to be very popular now in light of the recent scandal surrounding the 13900K/14900K chips #7

Awesome, thank you for the tool. The 13900K/14900K chips seem to have a 100% failure rate according to some sources because of improperly set power limits by the motherboard manufacturers.

I have a machine on 13900K pre-built by Dell and even though the PL1 was set not as high (200W) and I seemingly never experienced any crashes related to that or overheating in general, but it is still much higher than Intel's claimed TDP of 125W, so I set it down to 150W with your script, and it seems like the temperatures in stress tests have reduced.

I am not that dependant on top-notch performance, I'd rather be on the safer side

Thanks for letting me know. I saw early reports about the failures but before they were attributed to improper power limits. Looks like I finally struck gold in the tech industry - I'll be rich :)
