Version 1.5.2.5 has been released today, and is listed on the downloads page for at least some of the Strix graphics cards:

This is just a guess, but you should double check which motherboard header pins the reset switch is connected to. The behaviour you describe could be caused by it shorting out one of the power...

BIOS 4901 is available for your board, and probably worth a try (the AGESA 1.2.0.7 update solves significant performance issues on Windows 11):
...

This is just a guess, but I suspect that you actually are getting into the BIOS, but that it's coming out of a different physical port on the back of the machine. BIOS on the wrong video port can...

Try rapidly tapping the Del key (and F2 is the alternative, if I remember correctly, for small keyboards) immediately after power on. Push the power button, then just rapidly keep hitting Del until...

This is not exactly what you are looking for, and I agree that ASUS should provide some sort of API/SDK/etc interface and documentation for monitoring and control of sensors, fans, etc. AIDA64 has...

The chips themselves will actually be somewhere in the 2133-2666 MHz range, which is likely what you are seeing. That's the JEDEC SPD speed for them, and the rated speed of them off the silicon...

Aura Service (Lighting Service) 3.05.66 leaks memory & handles at a fairly high rate, especially with lighting set to Rainbow and Aura Performance Mode on. This was present...

AiSuite and FanXpert don't seem to integrate with anything (which seems crazy to me); they only show you the motherboard fan headers there (only on the board itself, the fan expansion card supplied...

Ok, no problem. You can probably just ignore the error stuff about invalid data at the top, that's probably just noise from Windows being Windows. I don't know exactly why you're getting that...

I've not really played with it much myself, but AIDA64 has sensor logging. It looks like it can log CPU utilisation, so you could use that to confirm that it's actually CPU activity that's doing it...

NVMe drives are kinda like SATA drives in terms of broad general compatibility. Your board is PCIe 3.0, so you only need 3.0 performance. You can install a 4.0 drive if you want, but it will run in...

Check out Crucial Ballistix. It's low-ish profile (i.e. doesn't have much unnecessary extra height), and probably on the Dark Hero QVL (it's on the Extreme QVL for DDR4-3600). I don't know for sure...

If you mean Ryzen 9 5950X, which is the top of the consumer/retail line, the top board is the Crosshair VIII Extreme. N.B. it's an EATX board which can be an issue for some cases; if you want ATX,...

Glad you got to the bottom of it. Yeah, that's a very unusual failure mode, very weird.



ROG Maximus X Hero: Tech Specs:


So, yeah, 16GB per slot should be no problem. There are some 16GB...

The ARGB connection should just be to control the ARGB ports on the fan hub/control box that's part of the Ryujin II product. It makes no sense that it would have any significant impact on the USB...

Nope, it's got nothing to do with RAM lighting for me, as I don't have RGB RAM. All of the devices it's controlling are ROG devices. I'm not changing it from automatic, just restarting it every...

You could try running MemTest86 on basic "optimised defaults" (no tweaks or changes to BIOS settings beyond those necessary to boot it from a USB stick). It may even be built into your BIOS, as ASUS...

I suspect there's something else going on here, but it's possible that you could be getting poor performance due to the fairly bad memory leak in LightingService.exe (particularly if you have "Aura...

A couple more thoughts for you. Your 3090 would be running as 4.0x8, which is the same total bandwidth as 3.0x16. There's a widely held view out there that very few GPU workloads actually need the...

As I understand it, the Z490 platform only supports PCIe 3.0, but ASUS designed their high end Z490 boards to PCIe 4.0 specs (double the frequency / data rate on the PCIe lanes) for the lanes that...

So, I was taking a quick look at the cooling section of the ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme product page, and spotted the following under the "ROG Fan Controller" tab:



Note the phrase "controlled...

I could be wrong, but it sounds like you possibly installed the OS originally in legacy BIOS+MBR boot mode, rather than modern UEFI+GPT mode. That would be confirmed if the disk is MBR partitioned...

Try CSM both/all ways. Some of the latest boards have a UEFI-only flavour of CSM, so you kinda have 3+ settings (disabled, enabled-UEFI, enabled-legacy). Windows 11 may not like the true legacy...

Some things to try:

1. "Load optimised defaults" in the BIOS and don't enable any form of overclocking, not even XMP/DOCP for memory, let your memory run at its native/slow speed. Do not change...
