New Bios is out. V801

Description: MAXIMUS VIII RANGER BIOS 0801

1.Update Intel ME version to 1168
2.Enhance DDR4 compatibility

I am using ASUS VIII Ranger and I found no obvious changes from previous version which got pulled.

I am using G.Skill Ripjaws 4 3000 Mhz RAM (2x8GB) kit.

On previous pulled BIOS, Memtest used to fail on 3000 Mhz's default voltage. But it passed when voltage was bumped by 0.02V. I will test stability tomorrow. It's too late here in India. Gotta sleep.

On optimized default settings, it runs at 2133 Mhz. But when I use XMP profile of 3000 Mhz, it takes 20-25 seconds for monitor to show ROG logo and start the boot process. Why such delay to boot at 3000 Mhz when it boots in 2 seconds if I set the speed at 2900 Mhz?

These days it's fashionable to release half arsed products and let early adopters do all your beta testing. Damages reputation.

Same issue on M8 Hero, setting higher frequencies for memories will delay POST.

It seems to be a beta version.
