Hi restsugavan,

Many thanks for these suggestions. I've delayed my upgrade to Windows 11 until the 22H2 version is finalized. However your tips should make it a smooth process later this year.

Hi idiegoit,

I'm really sorry to hear of this installation issue. While I'm not sure what could be causing it, I would also be very interested to learn what it is since I was planning to install...

Hi MoKiChU,

Many thanks for making available the Windows 11 driver for the less common Realtek 8822BE wireless NIC. You're a star

Excellent, thank you very much. This is very useful :cool:

Thanks MoKiChU.

For everyone's reference, this update resolves a security vulnerability within the ME firmware. No details appear to be available. The previous advisory I linked to was older and...

Hi BigJohnny,

Many thanks for your prompt and really helpful response.

You’re right, the TPM is detected and is working fine in the BIOS and within Windows 10 so its great news I don’t need...

Hi everyone,

I hope all is well. Sorry for asking again but my previous question was ignored.

I wish to ask if this 3501 BIOS update is required before updating to Windows 11 or is it just...

This is excellent news. Many thanks restsugavan :cool:

Hello guys,

This looks really good. Many thanks to restsugavan for clarifying what is contained in this new BIOS.

Since I am using BIOS Version 1401 from 2018 with my Rampage VI APEX, do I...

Hi TSportM,

I have not observed any performance loss after updating the ME firmware. Version 11.12.86.1877 is working fine on my Asus Rampage VI APEX (BIOS 1401). My CPU is an i9 7980XE.

Thanks...

Hi restsugavan,

Many thanks for this information. I strongly hope you are correct. Why should we have to replace our Core i9 7980XE CPUs when they are more than capable of running Windows 11?

I...

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...
