Z790 APEX ENCORE/ Z790 APEX TEST BIOS 9933 For XOC 1. need ln2 mode enabled and mode2 if use gear 4 dont use mode 2 (dont use ambient temp OC, only use to LN2 OC) 2. can switch 11F ucode in bios https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/intel-700-600-series/raptorlake-resources/m-p/1035782/highlight/true#M24593 https://community.hwbot.org/topic/220910-asus-rog-maximus-apex-z790-apex-15/?do=findComment&comment=673420

Microcode 0x129. Intel's Raptor Lake refresh has to stay after school - Conclusion https://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/prozessoren/64213-microcode-0x129-raptor-lake-refresh-muss-nachsitzen.html?start=9

At least check out... You can check whether Windows Security Center is enabled in the Registry Editor.

Here's the newest X3D chips. And it's from AMD. Maybe he should have used an 13th/14th gen Intel chips, LOOL

I expect loads of people undervolt as mad. On the edge of stability and you'll get weird problems in some tasks/games. And then they will blame Intel or and the MB manufacturers for their self introduced problems. I doub't we will see 300K branding. That will be their next SKU line-up. Maybe an 295K as the KS. Higher clocks but with still same amount cores/threads.

This sum up today's new modern tech. Create disasters to be able to maximice profits. We need bigger chips and with same sorts of cores. And more cores if needed for more performance. Not this modern hybrid or glued togeter tiles mess. @Prema Here's is the latest Intel ME Firmware Update v16.1.32.2473. Can you see what this brings? Probably new security fixes as usual. Or a re-brand. Thanks

I really like good news @Mr. Fox🙂 Google Faces A Revived Class Action Lawsuit For Accessing User Information Without Consent

Yup. And this apply also for the OS. An update made to fix a vulnerability broke dual-boot Windows-Linux PCs neowin.com · 7 hours ago A Windows Patch Tuesday update that was supposed to fix a vulnerability has caused a number of dual-boot Windows-Linus PCs to no longer boot up in Linux. Microsoft has yet to fix this problem.

Intel haven't many other choices. The sales in Korea has sinked as a stone in the ocean and more of this news you see below will increase the damage further. And all the new bugged beta bios from the mb manufacturers don't help on the situation.

See below. File contain innstaller and uninstaller from our old good friend @Prema But no need for latest Intel ME Firmware Update v16.1.32.2418. Also latest MEI driver if this is something you want for the ME firmware.

So even with the MC 0x129 with the new Asus XOC beta bios you got back the SA bug.... Hmmmm. Your reply. I tested the ASUS XOC BIOS that @safedisk posted (v9933) and the SA bug returned to that CPU even with 0x129 MC. What a disgusting soap opera this has become with the different motherboard manufacturers. 1.6V when loading up the OS with the new so called fixed bios (MC 0x129). Could be a detective board but who knows. .

Not sure if Sergmann have been damn lucky with all his chips with the Gigabyte board.... Not sure how many processors he have tested. But none with the SA bug https://community.hwbot.org/topic/210084-gigabyte-z690-tachyon/?do=findComment&comment=673591

New is always better bro @ryan

Yup. New times and nvidia will release new cards every year forwards. But I expect a new release then the next year somewhat re-hashed gaming cards. Milk while you can. The old fashion Intel way. See also.... The well written letter from Jensen😁 To meet demand we in nvidia have found out that we will only supply more GDDR6X chips for the custom made 4090(D) graphics cards made from 3090Ti PCB with wopping 48GB vram for China (also the more expensive SKUs will continue have GDDR6X). But You sucky gamerboy loosers buying cheapo 4070 need to accept cheaper oc'd GDDR6. Aka you will miss out on vram overclocking. Because we in Nvidia have determed to steal all the OC headroom for mentioned slow 18 Gbps vram. So you'll get 2 Gbps extra for "free" from us in Nvidia. Hence the "fake" 20 Gbps vram moniker. They are already oc'd so don't bother try eak out more performance. Mvh Jensen NVIDIA introduces GeForce RTX 4070 with GDDR6 memory, offering ‘similar’ performance to GDDR6X version GeForce RTX 4070 With GDDR6 To improve supply and availability to meet strong demand, we’re introducing the GeForce RTX 4070 with extra fast GDDR6 memory. All of the other specs remain the same. It offers similar performance in games and applications. Yup, extra fast GDDR6 memory just means what it is.... Overclocked vram out from the factory. Nice. Not everyday you get already oc'd hardware with nothing left in the tank. Because average gamer boys don't need the more expensive memory chips for their cheapo cards... NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090D with 48GB and RTX 4080 with 32GB vram. That's for the rich + AI. Not for sucky loosers try saving money.

Not everyone that have an Y-cruncher/OCCT profile ready for the new game😁 Despite Intel patch, Black Myth: Wukong devs warn about Core 13th and 14th Gen CPU crashing A nice mix with Intel and AMD's crashing in here...https://steamcommunity.com/app/2358720/discussions/0/6149189044492760562/?ctp=3

If you keep it yet another 1 or two years maybe you'll see 2-3 FPS in newest hard taxing games😎 They all want that you buy the newest flagship hardware available nowadays. Then start render it useless within next 2-3 years. All they want is all your hard earned money. Microsoft blocks trick that lets you install Windows 11 on older PCs As usual no love for Gigabyte. 4090 or 4080 doesn't matter. I expect the same feelings for all their products. And the future tech coming closer and closer... Mobile computing tech in desktops is exactly what the computer users need. Maximum power efficiency for your homebuild desktop computer. Nice. Intel to reunite its laptop and desktop architectures in 2026

Please delete. Thanks.

You all are so cute. Thanks to you all🙂 Btw. I learned something new today... bromance. Never heard this before. Dang, I really start being old😀

Hmmm (not fun being older). You're fantastick....... Love you man💖

Disgusting!!! AMD have no QC.

Spot on.....

The old Alder Lake is as good as it get. And well proven. Have been here a long time. New doesn't mean much if old work well. What you see below shouldn't have happened. Ryzen 9000: Karma is not good Most of the problems can be summed up as follows: instabilities in the best case, crashes in certain benchmarks or, in the worst case, a processor that stops working permanently. We are therefore at the conjunction of two sources of problems. A software problem, on which rumors seem to indicate that AMD is quickly preparing a solution... But also a hardware problem with processors that deform as we have seen, in a very limited way however, with certain Ryzen 7000. My grandmother often told me, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” The delay in the launch of the Ryzen 9000 and the incredible reason given to explain it may have been hiding something more serious. This generation was clearly not ready for a release in the heat of this August… A damn good advice. We older often see the fire before it's too late. Because we have learned the old lesson. Start walk before you go. Me is younger than @Mr. Foxbut not sure I'm dumber. Hmmm... What's wrong?

Me.... Seing what bios versions the choosen ones/elite use (those that test bios versions for the screwed ones). I don'twant jump on the "first and so called best" for you all. This doesn't fit me at all.

But how much gain do you receive in benchmarks or and games? Hmmm. Not sure newer has to be better (almost never been). And higher MT/S doesn't mean a squat if you can't get a gain over the others in all benchmarks. New come always with an drawback . I have seen that in benches several times. I can see it in my benches compared to others. But that's me. I'm slow jumper in on a (hype) train. Better be late than never come home🙂 And I really mean it.... Newer doesn't mean better!!! Only a different color in the bling bling world. I need more evidence. And what I have sen won't push me on thedark side with alll..... You know.
