core voltage is way too high as much as the wattage.
if you'll do something more demanding on the CPU it will be a throttle fest.

asus boards have no idea on how to correctly set a CPU even at stock frequency, leave alone when using the OC tools.

my extreme, with default settings, pushes 300W on my 13900K making it throttle at 100°C all the time, this is ridiculous.

Can I make a suggestion here? Asus (and I would think) all mobo manufacturer's set LLC at Intel specs, which are very conservative. Your Load Line Calibration is probably what is making your V way to high causing Tjmax limits to kick in. Default Asus LLC3 for i9-12900k =1.1 D.C/.60 A.C. For i9-13900k= LLC3 1.1 DC/.50 AC. Now keep your LLC @ 3, DC @ 1.1 and if your processor can handle it, lower AC by .05 mv until CB_R23 crashes. Now raise it by .05-1 mv and you should see your temps decrease by at least 10C and you shouldn't be hitting Tjmax anymore but still be stable in your workload. For example with my 13900KF at default LLC3/DC 1.1/AC .50 with full custom water cooling I would still hit 90C. I was able to lower AC to .24 (after testing) with no performance penalty but with huge V decrease and thus temp decrease(-10C). Test on all AVX workloads or gaming or whatever you use. This is just a simple way to get your processor to still work at max without hitting temp limits due to excessive voltage. Not all cpu's are created = so test, test, test!

Yes 2203 for the Z690 Hero.

For me 2203 was very bad windows was crashing continuously. Not even into windows login.
Also in bios it was showing chinese sometimes after booting into bios.
I tried to roll back to 2201 but I wasn't able to but was able to rollback to 2103.

Z690 Extreme also clearing bios didn't work

Voltages were definetely changed going from 803 to 804 to get stable.

Any way to roll back to 0803?

Edit:
The BIOS Image Rollback feature allows me to reflash a old BIOS.

keep crashing on Z690 STRIX D4 / 13700K system. (bios 2203) . is this the issue of CPU voltage? then, some game titles an error like cannot detect Graphic devices. especially, BF2042 says, DirectX Funcition error occured like.. When the voltage is insufficient, a blue screen appears, but in this case, the game does not work because it sends an error to the graphics card.

Hey!

New z790 Apex Owner and was looking for 0804 BIOS but can't seem to find the link / info anywhere?

can anyone link it or point me in the right direction please? thank

It was pulled, 0803 is the only one available.
Coming from someone who was using 0804 on my z790 Hero, I understand why it was pulled.

Use 0803 or wait for the next release

latest 2203 BIOS seems to push harder the ring clock at default settings.



with previous BIOS never seen values higher than 4600MHz, now 5GHz seems the new normal.

is this a "new bug"?

Interesting, I've had 0 issues so far. Stable BIOS for me. I'll be sticking with this for awhile.
