Most likely Z490 will get a new BIOS near the end of March for Rocket Lake, ReSizable BAR.

Personally I do not care about Rocket Lake or ReSizable Bar. I am more interested in a system performance enhancement for 10th gen chips.

I'm running 2004 beta now,.. so far after each BIOS update I need to increase all voltages on otherwise stable profiles. Another BIOS update without performance/memory enhancement for 10th gen is of no use to me.

4600MHz profile needs 1.4V VCCIO/SA

Likely the updated Intel processor microcodes that are included in the BIOS rather than the BIOS itself. This won't change - Asus will continue to include the latest official microcode because they include security vulnerability fixes.

You can mod the newer BIOS with older microcode . That is what I have done - I am on microcode CA just for this (stability) reason.

There are 2009 BIOS out for Apexx XII and Maximus XII provided by Shamino. Would like to see it for the Hero as well.

I would also like to see Bios 2009 for Z490-E Gaming
My 11700K runs not so good with Bios 2004

Thanks geneo,

So BIOS 2004 is using E2 which explains why I need to bump up voltage a bit. You have tried CA, EO and CA seems to be the best option,.. I will try CA mod on 2004, see if that helps. Thanks

Do you have any information on Shamino's 2009 download link for M12E, I can't find the page.

E0 seems better than E2, needed less of a bump from CA.
