The motherboard is a Rampage VI Extreme Omega. The thing started up and then the desktop seemed to flash, as if resetting and then bam. Blue screen one with the error APC_INDEX_MISMATCH. Then ten...

Yeah, it is confusing isn't it? The thing about 2103 is that it the latest and it improves system performance. Hence, it is the better one. However, I have another rig with a different motherboard...

I have the same motherboard and CPU. This is what I did. I got the file and copied it to a USB drive after formatting the drive (default format). I then named it C8F.CAP. Then I got into the Bios...

Have you tried Ebay? You can often find that kind of thing there, but it might not be right away.

Me. No issues from a semi-tech person's perspective. Everything I watch in HWMonitor looks fine. Temperatures, CPU voltages, CPU clock speeds all look the same as with the previous version.

The...

Hi again. :D My newest computer has an NZXT AOI cooler. In my case, I run it in the maximum cooling mode, which for my cooler is performance mode. I am not sure what that is with your cooler,...

Generally if you are not going into the 90 or higher range your temperatures are fine. Idle temperatures for a high end Intel CPU (not AMD) in my experience should be in the 30-35 range for a...

I'd run HWMonitor, myself. Then you can see your max temperatures. Also, that one temperature, 68 is not necessarily high, but what exactly is that? The other temperatures are acceptable.

Oddly I had to wait for that update for my Crosshair VIII Formula rig for a while too. My Rampage VIII Omega Extreme rig had it a while back, and my Toshiba laptop weeks ago.

Weird Windows...

Sorry, I rewrote the above in a more concise version. The above post did not appear so I thought it got lost. Anyhow, here is my second post:

I'd refresh Windows first with all apps in place,...

Typical Asus motherboard stuff--that is typically OS, Windows, driver related--or that's my experience, anyhow. I got my first Asus motherboard in 2011, a Rampage III Black Edition and until Windows...

Weird if you can't see it. It's still there for me.

Right. I check that page every day. The drivers there are newer than the ones posted a week later on the Crosshair VIII Formula page. And according to AMD, motherboard manufacturers like Asus add...

Right. So that little fan is loud right? That seems to be a common complaint. You can adjust it.

I have the 360, but my case fans crank out a crazy amount of airflow (Noctua fans), I have...

So, then what is the source of the chipset drivers in this case, X570? I have no idea what the source is if it is not AMD or Asus. And in this case WHQL has newer drivers than both!! ...

Thanks for commenting. And this is not out of disrespect for your post or point of view. It's not that I'm trying to place blame at all. The post is mainly to provide some constructive criticism. ...

Right, it's the same type, but why are the ones dated on the Asus page older but have a newer date? I mean do the people at Asus know what they are doing? Evidently not. They posted the wrong...

The latest chipset driver set posted on the Asus support page (Version 2.04.09.131, dated June 11, 2020) is a different set than the latest posted for X570 chipsets on the AMD website (2.04.28.626,...

Some applications are definitely more CPU intensive and vice versa. Also, you might also look at a CPU bottleneck as merely more headroom for you GPU--for example 12.08% more headroom for your GPU. ...

The package temperature is taken with a probe behind the CPU, so it is a very poor indicator of how hot your CPU is running at. Those core temperatures are unusually high for idle speed. Is that an...

Thanks for these links. What puzzles me is I have a laptop and another Asus build and in both cases Windows Update prompted the 2004 download, but with this Crosshair VIII build, that is not the...

I have downloaded and updated the drivers for both ethernet, intel and Aquantia. WiFi is in airplane mode, so off.

What is puzzling is that after this problem kicks in suddenly, then the problem goes away after shut down and then starting and before logging in. So on the screen before logging in everything is...

I do not install Armoury Crate anymore. If you can do what you want without it, that is a good idea. If you uninstall it and still have problems, I think you should consider doing a Windows 10...
