Maximus 13 and Rocket Lake: The Rules have Changed.

[Shamino]

Got 11900KF + Hero XIII + Corsair H150i Pro, all BIOS (0704) settings "Load Optimized" periodically have BSOD with ClocK Watchdog Timeout in daily use, with no stress tests. I Hope it's not defect or something else....can it be fixed by new BIOS in future???

please try this and let me know if it solves

Are warranty's void if we use the BIOS's you offer?

Thanks for the reply I'll be testing as soon as I can and will let you know, this week-and at the latest.

Is ASUS working on solving the incompatibility issue of Micron Crucial Ballistix D4 series XMP profile with M13H ?

The memory compatibility seems to become worse since the BIOS goes from 06xx to 07xx. Everytime I load the XMP1 or XMP2 on BIOS version 0703 or 0704, it results in boot failure. However, the XMP of Micron Crucial Ballistix D4 series works fine on the BIOS 0610 ,or alternatively i replace with Gen 10 CPU(i3-10100). What i can say is 0703/0704 sucks.

single rank or dual rank and 2 sticks?

I am running this new BIOS and so far so good, haven't managed to make it crash. I would say "thanks" but I did not spend enough time with the PC yet to be 100% sure.

I have noticed an interesting difference though, my overall performance has improved. Using one CPU/RAM heavy game as benchmark:

(memory kit = G.Skill F4-4000C15D-16GTZR from QVL = 4000mhz CL15)

BIOS 704 Intel stock limits + XMP 1 (all auto) = 45 fps / Aida latency 50ns (& 58GB/s read)
BIOS 704 Intel stock limits + XMP 1 enabled but forced Gear 1 mode + 3733mhz = 46 fps / Aida latency 45ns (& 55 GB/s read)
New BIOS you sent me: Intel stock limits + XMP 1 (all auto) = 47 fps / Aida latency 50ns (& 58GB/s read)

Verified the same behaviour in different games, too.

This makes me think that it is probably an improvement on the CPU side (buggy turbo in 704 that was maybe the cause of BSODs?) but I also found another difference: I cannot boot in Gear 1 mode @ 3733mhz anymore. But since I have gained performance anyway I cannot complain. If this BIOS proves to be stable I will be 100% satisfied with my hardware as is.

I also have problems with memory compatibility.

I have 2 kits CMK16GX4M2K4600C19 and CMK32GX4M2G4600C18 and both don't run on 4600 (XMP)

When I set XMP the BLCK frequency goes to 101.5 and Windows crashes after 2-3 seconds. And when I set this to 100.0000, the system does not pass a memory test.
I tried to enter the stock values but the system does not survive a memory test.
I don't really want to play with the timing, that's why there is XMP.

Bios version 0704

I also tried also the BIOS 0013 that Shamino posted here. But the system freezes sporadically for 2-3 seconds. Also back to 0704.

Micron Crucial Ballistix D4 3600 16GB*2 (XMP CL16-18-18) dual channel mode.

I populate them in DIMM2(A2) and DIMM4(B2) in priority(due to the Daisy chain PCB layout of memory banks) and found that XMP incompatibility is very common in various memories on BIOS 0703/0704, expecially Micron Crucial Ballistix.
