u must follow the order, wrong order causes prob

Yeah I unfortunately followed the order as per the instructions the first time. I made sure to do just what it asked.

But I just tried again following the links you sent as well. Followed instructions to a T. And well still same results. Switching the Ethernet cable back n forth between the Aquantia 10gb and the intel I225-V Gives wildly different results. I can replicate this over and over back n forth.

Strange thing is that when using the Intel I223-V LAN transferring files over the lan it can fully saturate my 1gb lan 960ish mbps / 112MBs solid no problem. I did a 100gb file transfer and it held solid the whole time. And when I tested a game 60gb download from steam it also can max out my isp 650mbps dl. behaviour like this makes me believe its a firmware or driver issue. But I sent the same info off to asus a day ago and the rep says that I probobly have a faulty NIC. So i dunno. Its so strange. Its just like the intel nic doesnt like any web based speed tests. Ive tested this on 3 different browsers as well as a complete new windows installation with drivers only. always same result. Yet in real world scenarios it seems to function fine. Id normally just send it back to place of purchase and do a easy swap but unfortuanlty they are out of XII extremes and have no idea when they might get more. And with corona going on, Id image that RMA turn around with asus will not be a quick process

I have noticed that since the last BIOS 0069 update the OLED screen of my Maximus Formula XII has a flicker, someone else with this problem?

before updating to bios I did not have that problem, I also had severe problems updating bios, the screen went black for a long time and I had to restart. then on the OLED screen read NVRAM appears.

I think that is part of the changes they made to livedash control over all. All OLED products including Ryujin do this now. It's supposed to help with display burning which my Ryujin 360 has really bad already. I just applied the updates via Armory Crate and it started flickering too every like 3 seconds. It's the new normal.

hi!

found some probs with xii hero with ram compatibility...

so on the site stated that F4-4800C19D-16GTRS is supported BUT there is no such ram

the correct one is f4-4800c18d-16gtrs BUT this is recognized in bios in xmp profile as 4807mhz ram and ofc its unable to boot in OS

tested on bios v0607. maybe some suggestion or some beta bios? thanks

Hi,
0069A must be good because it didn't work for me after restoring a system image created on 0607A and on bios 2
Got boot device issue can't remember actual error I am in legacy mode csm enabled/ fast start off/ secure boot off. single partition C m.2 sammy 970 evo on dimm_2 card Apex

Switched to bios 2 0607A and all is good

Put 0606A bios on bios 1 since it's been said to be best and sure enough no error booting with it on the same m.2 that couldn't boot on 0069A.
So something about the system image and 0069 wasn't compatible
Macrium reflect I've been using this image for a while never failed before 0069A to boot after restoring.

actully its boots to the OS but instant freez.. lowering it to 4400mhz will work. but the ram spec. on the site is wrong anyway. also apex supports this ram why not supported on hero ?

tested with 0069 bios. same prob.. also xmp recognized as 4807mhz

With last firmware and update 1.0.1.4 Intel vs Marvel

OMG! Thank you! LOL. Im not the only one experiencing this and Im not crazy! LOL.

Unfortunately Ive tried absolutely everything to fix this.
1. Redo firmware and drivers.(Did correctly first time though. Followed instructions properly but still tried again)
2. Reset Network
3. Tried different cables
4. Reset and upgrade RT-AC86U firmware.
5. Removed RT-AC86U and go direct isp modem
6. Different Advanced settings like Link speed
7. Install fresh windows V.2004 Drivers only
8. Install fresh windows V.1903 Drivers only

Ive also reached out to asus support and have shared my results and testing with them but it seems I keep getting a different person responding to my ticket everytime. And they keep posting the bare min simple troubleshooting steps like "check cable" "reset network" "reinstall drivers" "Check DHCP" and Exchange motherboard if all troubleshoot can not resolve the slow internet issue.

So it seems that they dont believe there is a bug or firmware issue and we have defective boards. And of course replacement boards right now are no where to be found Please reach out to asus support and open a ticket regarding this. Maybe if others report this they will look into it more.
