Asus Z490 stuff

[RobertoSampaio]

Hi folks,

Do you think is there any problem to leave VCCIO and VCCSA in AUTO ?

I can't believe ASUS would use a so hi voltage that could damage CPU... Or I'm wrong?

If under 1.3v you should be alright on auto.

AUTO sets VCCIO/VCCSA exactly 1.3V/1.3V

Hi all, I'm looking for some guidance, as Ive had a very disappointing first impression with this board and thats a first, because, Ive been preferring to buy Asus boards since I was a child.
Please do not tempt me with the thought of moving onto another brand for the first time in my life


I have a z490-G wifi board, and im having a miserable time plagued with this "Intel I255-V" issue.
I bought this board for its size, not the wifi capability. I want to use Ethernet.
I have already had to exchange the board once because I did EVERYTHING EVER LISTED ON THE INTERNET (including the obscure "windows settings disabled" combined with rain dances at 3:13AM on a Thursday to try and get the Ethernet port to work, but nothing succeeded.

Seriously, the juggle that Intel has imposed on us is not cute or funny, in anyway at all.
I am a $&#*@$! pissed off customer right now.

I have no lights on the back of the board. No matter what I do, Windows is constantly saying "an Ethernet is unplugged"
I have gone through the 1.45 firmware update.
Ive gone to 607 and 707 BIOS.
Ive done drivers 1.0.0.9, 1.0.0.13, 1.0.1.4, 1.0.1.7.
Ive done power downs.
I have repeated all of these steps, with constant fresh reformats, much to my M.2 ssd's dismay.

All of this was done on the board I exchanged.
I now have a completely untouched fresh board installed with fresh windows and it is still doing the exact same issue (No lights, same constant error).
I am unsure how to proceed.

The physical board has a "rev 1.03" written under the name.
It is currently sitting with stock BIOS 407.
It currently is sitting with Driver 1.0.0.13, as per the "auto download Ethernet driver" that the z490-g does when you turn on a fresh install.


Please. Someone.

Tell me HOW to update this thing for success and HOW to make sure I NEVER have to mess with this again?
What is the issue with this port, and will this board be a nightmare for the rest of my ownership?
How and When will this board be completely rid of this bug/hardware(?) issue?


Im most unexcellent over here.
I need help.
Thank you.

I have some strangers things happen to Maximus xii formula 0707 bios...

1 - I change pll bandwidth and the CPU PLL OC changed from 1.2v to 2.3v... I returned to default and CPU PLL OC didn't return to 1.2V. It was necessary to clear cmos

2 - I saved bios to a profile and the name I used, when I return to load it, was corrupted. It was necessary to clear cmos

3 - I experienced freezing events. Cleared cmos and used the same configuration... and now it's all working.

Seems like some configurations stay saved in the background and the only way to restart is to clear cmos.

Here is something new.

Recently, I got an Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN. I love it, except I thought I didn't see the start-up screen anymore when booting up the machine.
Today I tried to enter BIOS by spamming Delete on boot-up, and nay, on five attempts I couldn't do it. It is like the BIOS cannot work with this monitor. Connecting one VG248QE allows me to enter the BIOS.

I have
- Asus ROG Maximus XII Extreme
- Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Strix Gaming, 11 GB VRAM
- Asus ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN

Update: For BIOS to be accessible at all, VG248QE has to be plugged into the lower DP port (vertical mount). If I plug it into the upper port, BIOS won't be able to utilize it as long as the PG259QN is plugged. I assume that this is the first DP port, and if the BIOS finds PG259QN in that first port, it doesn't even look at the second port. For some reason, the bios doesn't like PG259QN. Is that about the refresh rate of 360 Hz?

Update:

With Launch CSM enabled, the BIOS will show up on the PG259QN. Okay, what if I want it off?

Check if there is a DP 1.4 GPU card update for your 1080 Ti

Good nail, actually. The card is advertised as DP 1.4-capable per [1] [2]:

Interface
DVI Output : Yes x 1 (Native) (DVI-D)
HDMI Output : Yes x 2 (Native) (HDMI 2.0b)
Display Port : Yes x 2 (DisplayPort 1.4)
HDCP Support : Yes (2.2)

, however, if I open GPU-Z, I see the max bandwidth 8.1 Gbps. With DP 1.4, that should be 32.4 Gbps. Goly...



That is after the firmware update. Okay, this might be also why I see some color funkiness, such as a subtle lack of the blue that I cannot pin down to something or tweak up with a monitor setting.

The Graphics card could be the problem, perhaps I should move this out to that part of the forum.

Update: It's possible that all is fine, if the bandwidth is multiplied by the amount of lanes.

[broncogr]

It is 32.4Gbps

8.1 x 4 lanes = 32.4

The nvidia firmware update should have fixed your UEFI entering issues

Which is the last turbovcore version?
