Asus Rog Maximus XIII Hero, is there a new bios version arriving ?

So far so good for me on the 1601 bios for the Maximus XIII Apex. System has been really stable in stress testing and benchmarking. Even got my 5.6ghz OC profile working almost effortlessly. Nothing bad to report atm.

You are lucky, both 1402 and 1601 are broken on my M13A with a 10900k. both of those version will boot up the first time after flashing and then any successive boots just sit at the post splash screen and never boot into the OS or allow me to boot into the bios. rollback to 1301 and everything is fine, upgrade to either 1402/1601 and the systems just sits at the rog screen....

It is available today 11/24 and suggests downloading and installing the latest Intel Management engine update, 15.0.42.2235

In my Z590-A with i9-11900 I did NOT install the Intel ME stuff.
Do you think installing only the new 1601 BIOS could be... dangerous?

I'm on 1401 and I'm not having any issues, but obviously a new BIOS always stimulates hope for some performance improvements... :]

I just opened a topic for this one, did you tried to reset your bios to factory settings and on the next boot just let your pc sit on the ROG screen for a few minutes. Eventually it will come through and on your next restart it will fly through it.
But when you do a hard shutdown and wait 15 mins or so, it will be sitting again on the ROG screen etc etc....
it's an issue that I saw on all bios updates besides the 1301.
