[FIRMWARE] Intel ME (H470/Z490)

[itsnice4u]

@itsnice4u, which bios you are on atm ? wich mobo as well please ?

I have a Formula XII and a 2601 Bios, with the 1969 firmware. I am experiencing a triple boot issue since I've updated the Bios from 2409 to 2601, the 1969 firmware being already installed when I flashed.

I will give a shot to update to the new one. Just hoping it won't provoke any boot loop issues...

I ll keep you updated, especially concerning the bios section such as TjMax and FCLK frequencies.

I have Asus Formula XII bios 2601 with firmware 14.1.65.1990 now, after updated from 14.1.65.1969 to 14.1.65.1990, the double boot(Qcode 19) issue was cleared. I tried to change TJMAX several times with different value, and It did'nt affect other overlock settings any more, for FCLK change. I think It would be cleared too but I didn't try.

14.1.65.1990 fixed the double boot Code 19 and TJMAX boot loop if set to anything but auto

Thanks Mokichu!

Thank you for your feedback guys !

And thank you, of course, to Mokichu. Awesome Job, you should get rewarded by Asus seriously

Edit : updated successfully, I have a tiny double boot (attempt to boot during half a sec, turning off and booting again), but it is still better than triple booting from the later one.
No issues so far with the BIOS, changed the Tjmax, and other options that were "blocked" before.
Now I have to test if OCing the BCLK is possible from the Bios.

Anyway, thank you Mokichu ! Is it physically possible, in your opinion, to upgrade the Z490 on the 15.1.XXXX versions, or is it strictly reserved for the Z590 boards ? (out of curiousity).

Thanks !

This latest ME firmware fixed my issue with a Z490-E Gaming mobo. I updated to the 2601 firmware also. Everything working perfect again!

yeap 14.1.65.1990 firmware and 2601 bios work perfect , no security problem and no bootloop , the only problem is after update the bios have to set up again the fans curves , XMP lol but i made a video before reset the bios to know how i have it before the update

[Tekamine]

Ah you had an issue as well for the fan curve ? I was wondering why my fans were so loud . Though my curve didnt change at all after the update, but remaking it as it was by resetting the point made it work.

Hi everyone,

In order to anticipate questions, 14.1.65.1990 version has been reposted because the Firmware PHY has been updated.

Why the date of this updated PHY is 25/08/2021 then?

[Bunghole]

Hi,

This is not the release/update date, this is the Intel internal build date.

The 14.1.65.1990 ME firmware version previously posted contained this PHY firmware version : 12.14.214.2014 [01/04/2021]

Hi!

Thank you for clarification. Good to know)
