Hi MoKiChU

Many thanks for this update; I eventually got the time to install it yesterday and everything went fine. My system is working fine as always.

I really appreciate your time and effort...

Sorry for the random post.

In the end; I decided not to update the BIOS of my Rampage VI APEX to BIOS 3105. The newer BIOS versions such as 3201 and 3301 don’t appear to offer improvements I...

Hi MoKiChU,

Out of curiosity where did you originally obtain this ME firmware update e.g. Station Drivers, WinRaid or elsewhere? Are you making it available since older Asus boards like my Rampage...

Excellent and thanks for confirming on both questions. You're the best MoKiChU !

Hi everyone,

Thanks MoKiChU for this. I assume it work on my Rampage VI Apex?

My Asus Rampage VI Apex is using BIOS 1401 and Intel ME firmware 11.12.77.1664 (I updated the ME firmware...

Hi MirceaForce,

Many thanks for listing these really useful BIOS update steps.

How has BIOIS 3006 been working for you? Thanks again.

Hi G75rog,

It’s great to hear you are using BIOS 3105 with your VI APEX. How has it worked for you so far (I appreciate it has only been one day)?

My APEX is using BIOS 1401 and is perfectly...

Hi vmanuelgm,

Happy New Year to you too :)

Thanks for the clarification. I'll update to the pre-Cascade Lake ME version since my SkyLake-X won't benefit from those improvements. Good point...

Hi cekeu , G75rog , ThrashZone and Raven41,

Thanks for you confirmation that the stability of BIOS versions beyond 1503 for the VI Apex is not perfect (although 1704 looks good). I'll stay with my...

Hi vmanuelgm,

Many thanks for making this firmware available. Apologies but I'm going to ask some naive questions:

Why doesn't Asus make these available? The most recent was from September 2019...

I agree with Wheity this kind of troubleshooting is necessary. If you can 100% load the SATA and it doesn't crash you have narrowed down the issue.

Out of curiosity; is there any other SSD you...

Hi Inqonrol87,

When you say forcing the install of the 1902 BIOS I assume you mean using the BIOS Flashback feature? If you have cleared the CMOS after updating the BIOS but are still having...

Hi cekeu,

Thanks again for your explanation. You explained it very well; your English is excellent.

I agree these motherboards do make overclocking very easy. I now understand what you mean by...

Hi rzotti,

Many thanks for the link. I had reviewed Asus’s website and the manual looking for this and didn’t come up with accurate results.

I still have a copy of my 1401 BIOS for use if...

Hi cekeu,

Thanks for your explanation. Apologies but I have more questions. I have now added my system specs to the forum profile.

When you refer to the TPU mode I and II and XMP; would XMP be...

@Brockmonster: Since your system set up is very similar to mine; I’ll stick with the 1401 BIOS. Thanks for testing this.



Thanks for the clarification. Are the steps for reverting to an older...

According to another thread (linked to below); it depends on your system; some systems are fine with the 1902 BIOS others aren’t.
I’m not willing to risk it.

Sorry for not posting an update sooner.

In early June I received and installed my 2x Titan RTX. They work beautifully and the motherboard (Rampage VI Apex) with BIOS 1401 had no issues in...

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your discussion on the new BIOS.

I'm using the old 1401 BIOS on my Rampage VI APEX. All my BIOS settings are at default and my system is stable. Should I update since I...

Ah, OK. Now I understand. Thanks for the clarification; it's been reassuring. I'll let you know how it goes since the Titan RTXs don't have a 3rd party manufacturer; I believe Nvidia manufacturers...

Thanks BigJohnny. This sounds much more promising.

Your 1604 BIOS; is that for the Rampage VI Extreme? From what I can tell the Extreme and the Apex are the same basic motherboard just with...

Hi Sib3riX,

I'm really sorry to hear that you had to resort to a new motherboard to resolve this. Was it an EVGA board? If so would you mind sharing which model worked for you?

I'm asking since...
