I am about 99% sure that I put in the same RAM settings. The results were consistent before; it could be that it's the BIOS, even though that one doesn't contain system performance as an update. This...

Yupp, by changing

tRDRD_dd 4 -> 5
tRDRD_dg 6 -> 5
tWRRD_dr 0 -> 5
tWRWR_dr 0 -> 7

I got my PC into a state in which it wouldn't even let me enter bios anymore. :D It already had these tho:
...

Yes, I got Z490 with that on mind. Intel changes the socket often, also Z490 broke it for the ninth generation.

It is quite uncertain how the market will be changing in the next 1-2 years. So,...

I dropped the 3080 train, mostly due to the 10 GB VRAM thing. I wait for 3080 Ti, to decide between that and a 3090. Of course, I will have to take the monetary hit.

Dunno how much longer will my...

The future of Z590 is uncertain. It is a turning point when the risk of getting a new PC is high, and the best value is in waiting for the gen after this one. At the same time, hardware prices are...

Haha, for real.

It really looks like hypocrisy how hard it was to give Z490 its own subforum -- or to at least put a 'Z490' in this subforum's title when the boards were out -- and how Z590 got...

Thanks. For clarity, the sound from AE-9 is crystal-clear, and the sound card is 1-2 mm apart from the vertically mounted 1080 Ti. It is the M12E's sound that is affected big time, and AE-9 doesn't...

A question about isolating the mobo sound. I've switched from my AE-9 (sound card) to the M12E sound, to test if I could actually move the AE-9 elsewhere.

The mobo sound is plagued by a lot of...

Following a lamp that sort of pinches the aesthetics, I just found out that M12E has a BIOS switch. I think I will save that old BIOS purely for curiosity, even though switching now requires each...

So, my new settings are in. Nothing spectacular, and I override the CPU settings with XTU anyway.

@BloodBaron ^ up there. I compute the DRAM voltage by stretching the range 2133 MHz - 4000 MHz...

Could it be due to the modem / router compatibility?

For me, the I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet thingy didn't want to work on Ubuntu, and I was like no way that the Marvell 10 Gb would even blink. Then, it...

Yeah, shame about other models. Looking at the competition (per the article), it is a missed opportunity.

I suppose one won't gain much from PCIe 4.0 vs. PCIe 3.0. Personally, I am still very...

Thinking that rocket lake is coming next year, is M12E actually PCIe 4.0 compatible? Asus has remained vague on that one, and officially all maximus xii boards are PCIe 3.0. I found a news article...

@kvarq The RAM fails on memtest when the CPU is on the stock clock. If I test it 2 by 2 sticks, that works fine on 4000 MHz CL15, no matter what I do to the CPU.
So, it is about the stick count. It...

Fwiw, my PC is just completing a successful memtest run with 3733 MHz, CL14. That is almost at the latency of 4000 MHz CL15, so I would conclude that the RAM frequency is the barrier. Iirc, even...

Be careful with this QVL.

I have the module F4-4000C15Q-32GTZR, which is in the QVL for M12E, and also in this QVL, displayed as a module for M12E.
It has given me quite some trouble, check the...

Nice. I also missed it, was watching only this topic.

Folks, new BIOS:
https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?121439-Z490-New-bios-with-new-feature-OCTVB

I didn't see this before.

Yeah, don't go for it, unless you are ready to spend an eternity in memtest and possibly return them. It doesn't work over here. I understand that i9-10900K may have too...

Hm. One question that is a possible sider.

Is my GPU dying? All colors look kinda like 90s CGA, from the very boot.

More info:
- The card is running at x16
- If I take screenshot, it has full...

Dunno, I am happy with what I have got right now. I mean, generally, it works fine, save for the fake information in QVL. I guess at least, there are no QVL evangelists to crap in replies to me how...

Make yourselves at home. Since this forum is named

Maximus X/XI & Strix Motherboards (Z370/Z390)

It will probably become

Maximus X/XI/XII & Strix Motherboards (Z370/Z390/Z490) ;)

+1 also preferably via official channels. Is it coming (when?), what can we expect?

PCIe 4.0 is a topic with M12 and riser cables.

I currently use a PCIe 3.0 riser cable (Asus ROG Strix Riser), which has 240 mm length. That is fine as long as I want to use View 91's vertical...

Just to report back that this card has been working fine wiht x299 e gaming for a few months now. I wish it had a DP output but fine, I already had a HDMI to DP converter (not to be mistaken with a...

I just updated my Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Strix Gaming, 11 GB VRAM with this. It actually did something, and it doesn't want to update the firmware again.

It looks like there was no actual...
