System Is Unstable After Upgrading TUF Z690 Bios Past 1404

[arh2o]

Hello, my TUF Z690-Plus motherboard has been unstable after upgrading to Bios 1404 and Bios 1504. If I roll back to Bios 1304 I am stable again. All my settings are on Auto / Optimized for each of the Bioses. I noticed this instability in 1404 and hoped 1504 would fix it, but it did not. Both bioses cause crashes in every game I play, which do not occur on 1304 with the exact same settings. I've seen multiple reports on this forum about recent bios instability in 15xx firmware. I wanted to report that TUF Z690-Plus also has issues with 1404 and beyond in terms of stability in games.

Version 1003: Stable for months
Version 1304: Stable for months
Version 1404: Unstable, multiple games crashe after a few minutes
Version 1504: Unstable, multiple games crashe after a few minutes

Assuming the user-base on 1404+ is minuscule which is why this issue hasn't been widely reported outside of this forum section.

Hello, If not wanting to tune the system manually it's best to stay on a UEFI build that works best for your CPU sample and memory kit, unless there's desired functionality shown in release notes.
