Asus Z490 stuff

2. The latest version of Intel LAN driver 1.0.1.4 which is posted on support page doesn't seem to work. IT warns that you must update the firmware before proceeding which I have done. However it still does not see my cable( cable unplugged in windows). Reverting to older version driver fixes the problem.

mine didn't work with 1.0.1.3 either, still cable unplugged (Asus XII Apex)
shouldn't have updated the firmware
from the device manager properties it has to be changed the policy from "auto negotiate" in "full flux 100Mb" or whatever works... and then connection is established

I notice on my Maximus XII Hero that the BIOS mentions LN2 mode and the voltage ranges associated. I know on previous boards there was a physical jumper to turn LN2 mode on, but there is not one present on the Hero (Apex and Extreme still have it). Is there no way then to gain access to the extended voltage ranges on the Hero?

Hi. What does power limit throttling mean in this context?

I am running things at cpu 49x / processor cache 43x (pretty low) during this, temp 64C, and the power limit throttling is constantly on.

Do I need to repaste, or find another cooling solution? Currently, I use Corsair Hydro Series H115i RGB Platinum, M12E, i9-10900K.

Hi it doesn't thermal throttle but power throttle so maybe the CPU draws more current/power than whats set in the bios. See if you can find the power limit in the BIOS and tell us what it is :-)

10900k is hungry power house . if you disable those limit expect more heat

Are you using auto Voltage for Vcore? (Auto voltage is crap is too high and cpu generate more heat, if you undervolt you can gain better performance even without setting those limits)

For disabling Power throtle you have 2 options

On main page
1. Enable asus multicore enhancer (option disable all limits) this should set everything for you


2. manualy set on main page tweaker
CPU current limit

Internal CPU power management

Long duration package power
Short package power
package power time

just write 99999 in all and it will automaticly set the numbers

It's been nothing but issues with my Mobo and I had similar issues with no internet connection and went through all the steps and tried, I never used my PC via Wi-Fi and then it occurred to me that my Mobo is Z490-G Wi-Fi, so I downloaded the Wi-Fi drivers to connect via Wi-Fi put the antenna and updated Windows 10 and made sure everything was up to date.

- I downloaded the Armoury Crate software and installed v1.0.1.3
- I went back to updating the v.1.45 firmware waited for it to say successfully complete and then shutdown PC and Unplugged the PSU.
- I waited about a minute plugged it back in turn system on and went back to downloading the LAN update Driver v1.0.1.4
- Its working and I've tested my connection no issues.



Right now I'm having 2 issues with my Mobo

- DIMM Slot 1: The system wont boot up when memory stick is on (Slot # 1) I switched each memory to (Slot # 1) same results, I get the yellow indicator.
- BIOS Update: I keep getting this message "Not Proper BIOS" and I'm afraid to update the BIOS due to people having issues after updating specific versions.

For me the previous _ASUS Bios support of the Z490 boards is a joke I have participated in many generations of chipsets because there were updates every 3 weeks etc since the Z490 officially 2 updates e.g. for my Strix E Gaming a 320 € motherboard, I don't know why ASUS is sleeping here when if Shamino didn't exist then we would have the 0703 and the 0704

Thanks, I played with this, and things got better. I still have a long way to go before I find a good voltage. I will leave that for some other post.

Right now I discovered a new thing. Not a week ago, I got one F4-4000C15Q-32GTZR. But now that I have it, I experience frequent crashes of the game.

I ran memtest86 on those sticks, and it found 18 errors in the four passes (see below). In total, the test 6 failed 3/4 times. Since those crashes started with the new RAM, it points to RAM being the issue. Is there something else I should try before I return the kit? The kit is in the QVL for the M12E, therefore it should just work.

First update your BIOS, and load optimized defaults after that. You may need to adjust VCCSA and VCCIO voltages manually, to say 1.3v. XMP profiles are not allways plug&play.

What bios version are you using?. The 10th gen should have best IMC but there is always silicon lottery. So you could try testing with just 1 ram stick, maybe 1 or 2 sticks are bad. You can try more VDimm voltage or adjust VCCIO or VCCSA 1.25 should be enough. You have long day ahead of you testing ram is pain
