I'd like to know this too. I hope they release the ME 14.1.53.1649V1.1 for the z490-i which seems to have released for other boards like the z490 maximus XIII extreme.

Hi, peeps.
Speaking of the BIOS, I am currently sticking with 2201. It doesn't go CPU voltage go nuts without the need.

Whatever I have set up, it allows the CPU to keep under 1V voltage on the stock clock.

M12E + i9-10900K here.

2403 is running very well on my Hero. I have been using it since the end of October albeit modified with EC microcode. 10900k @5.1 GHz.

I believe you will only get PCI-E 4.0 to the first GPU slot (not sure about the second). But the m.2 slots will be PCI-E 3.0 from the chipset. So if the second PCI-E slot from is supported @ PCI-E 4.0, you could get a PCI-E 4.0 add-in card to run your 4.0 m.2 drive from so your running 8 lanes of PCI-E 4.0 on both the graphics and add-in. But I am not sure that the second PCI-E 16 slot supports 4.0.

Me, I am just waiting for 13th generation with hopefully cheaper and better performing DDR5.

anyone else tried 2403 bios?
it has been released as "beta" in October, but they needed few months to upload it as "final" on the official website...
on the official download page they're even stating that
1. improve system performance and compatibility
2. improve system stability
3. improve DRAM compatibility
