WARNING BIOS 1302 might give u problems

[phatmonkey]

UPDATE 13/12/2019 New Bios 1401 seems to be stable so far, no BSOD

ORIGINAL POST:
Just a heads up in case someone is in a similar sinking boat lol
BIOS 1302 was causing the odd system restart on my ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI), I have now gone back to 1105 with no problems.
I eliminated all possibilities before posting here which includes, PSU, Wire / connections, memory, re-seating, chkdisc, SFC, DISM, GPU, CPU, TEMPs.
I had the odd system freeze since 1302 then it progressed to restarts few days later, since installing 1105 again there has been no restarts and that includes running multiple tasks to strain the PC into giving me an error or BSOD lol

I hope this saves time an energy for anyone else that might be experiencing a similar problem, also as a side note in 1302 Corssair LINK was giving me some teething problems and funny enough that was the fan control for the PSU unit, could this be part of the problem.... who knows, but 1105 is stable.

PS SPECS: ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO (WI-FI), i9 9900k, corsair LPX 64G DDR4. MSI G X Trio RTX 2080Ti, Corsair AX 1200i PSU, 5 Crucial MX500 2TB SSDs and one WD 4TB drive.

You are right "If it aint broke don't update".... lesson learnt lol
I have always updated the bios on release, will stop at 1105

i can agree, i have similiar setup, but the Maximus XI Formula, with BIOS 1302 i get always BSOD after 5-7min, so i went back to 1201, these works without any Issues

Well it runs smooth with my 8700k and 8086k.
Anyone having issues and has no 9900k?

I counted the critical events (restarts) since the bios update 1302 and it was 17 kernel power events since 29/09/2019 lol..... No critical events since flashing back to 1105.

I will check a friend with 9700kf heroxi and mine 9900k codexi but so far no freezing on any kind. BUT I was working with a msi z390 and 9700k and did see these 1 time.

I do not think is a bios issue. but i have check.

these kernel critical errors could be a windows issue more than a hardware problem. And am not saying that is a defective board or cpu. On the least 2 cumulative windows updates, MS add some new intelligence security thingy. and also some fixes for security. It will be interesting to cross check these with amd users. since they, even with compatible hardware, have issues their own.

so far i have not have freeze. but i will continue checking all events and report back.
