Should this be downloaded on a 2700x?

I was on the previous BIOS (6042) with a 2700X, now I own a 5950X. It should work, I would wait until they change it to stable. It shouldn't take that long, if I were to guess it will happen this or next week.

Excellent, I plan on upgrading too, was it easy and are you on aircooling? How much and what kind of memory do you have? How much of a difference do you see and is a Thermaltake 850W PSU enough? I also plan on upgrading my video card from the 1060 to 3060.

Update the BIOS and swap out the CPU, if you want to air cool it you've got to get a beefy cooler the NH-D15 for example. 4x8GB 3200 CL14 from before, the sweet spot would be 3600. 850W should be enough, the difference is very noticeable. If you are going to use the CPU only for gaming the 5950X isn't worth it, get the 5900X instead.

What is the 5950X good for? I run multiple programs at the same time across two screens, sometimes two 3D sims at the same time, one on each screen. One of them, Space Engine, is a real power guzzler.

Is 32 GB the sweet spot for this board and that new cpu? I don't see many people going to 64 GB or even trying 128 GB.

For Cinema 4D, DaVinci Resolve or if you Game and Stream at the same time for example, I've looked into Space Engine it's GPU rather than CPU heavy you're probably limited by your 1060 there. You could try to run 64GB, I don't know why it shouldn't work.

Well.. In my case.. it wasn't a great option.. I mean.. everything is running ok.. but it doesn't fix my TPM problems.. because even reseating the CPU didn't bring that option up..

Hi guys, I'm trying to OC my RAM for the first time following the "DDR4 OC Guide" by integralfx on GitHub and I'm having trouble finding the VDDG IOD and VDDG CCD voltage settings in BIOS. It does not appear under "Ai Tweaker" and I've tried looking elsewhere but cannot find it at all. I'm running BIOS 6042 with a 5700G. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi Everyone, I'm having some issues with all the USB 3.XX ports on my motherboard and front pannel. None of them are working apart from the USB 2.0 ports.... PAIN!
Does anyone encounter the same issue and is there a way to solve it? I have all USB drivers up to date and can't seem to find the Asmedia USB 3.1 Driver anymore from asus website.

Thanks in advance for your help All
