Asus Z490 stuff

The absolute strangest part is that the intel I225-V results vary depending on the test ran. Its not broken across the board. Yet the Marvel Aquantia 10gb tests fine on all tests. I honestly don't understand it. In my mind if it was defective or faulty. It would fail all tests. Why would it perform ok in some scenarios but not the other. Behavior like this makes me believe its driver related or firmware. But hey im not an engineer. LOL. As you can see in the included screenshot I tested 5 different tests but all using speedtest and used the same Test server to be equal.

Intel I225-V VS Aquantia 10gb

1. Chrome Web Speed test = Throttled Speeds
2. Chrome Speedtest Extension App = Good speeds
3. Speed Test Windows App = Throttled Speeds
4. Firefox Web Speed Test = Good Speeds
5. Explorer Web Speed test = Throttled Speeds

Does this make any sense to you? I also just did the very same test on my 10 year old HP hunk of junk laptop and it passed all 5 tests with the 640ish so again I feel that my network/modem/router/cabling/ISP can be ruled out as the problem. This behavior is only on the intel I225-V NIC in my place. I can replicate these results over and over.

test bios with improved dram tuning
Small update to 0069

Hi Shamino,

could you add to those updates 1-2 bullet points what improved?
Training beyond 4266 4x8GB?
RTL / IOL training?

I am looking for 4300-4400 4x8GB B-DIE SR :-)
Nothing big ;-)

Still happy with 0606 but I would love to test a bios which improves beyond that :-)

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Hi!
I was wondering if any of you guys at ASUS are aware of the issues many people are having with the Z490i Strix. Let me link you to many threads:

Please advise us on what to do! Can a BIOS update fix the problem of instability with dual channel memory?

yup me too. if you try Firefox it will work which makes this the strangest thing. I tried everything to fix it and no fix. Few people in other forum tested chrome for me and theirs works fine so I think maybe we got bad intel NICs. Not sure though as this is very strange. Im trying to get a replacement board. Thats all there is left to try. *Let me know if you fix it please. I will too.*
