ROG MAXIMUS Z790 DARK HERO BIOS 1202 - 2024/04/19

[gorba]

For anyone using this motherboard, ASUS released a new BIOS update on Friday that "introduces the Intel Baseline Profile option, allowing users to revert to Intel factory default settings for basic functionality, lower power limits, and improving stability in certain games. Updating this BIOS will simultaneously update the corresponding intel ME to version 16.1.30.2307. Please note after you update this BIOS, the ME version remains the updated one even if you roll back to an older BIOS later."

Hopefully that helps with stability issues on 13 and 14th gen CPUs.

I updated to that UEFI BIOS yesterday, and did have several hours in HFW: BS with only one freeze when my inputs stopped working while I was alt-tabbing to check on something. Certainly no crashes to desktop as I had started having in the DLC. And I had seven crashes in one day in Burning Shores.
