Asus crosshair dark hero /5900x/ bios update question

[Asryan]

Hi,

I'm still on bios 3801 on my board but because of some issues I might need to flash a new version, I read that some people are having serious issues with the 4201 and I guess I'll avoid it.

Which is the more recent and stable version then?

Thanks

[Asryan]

Really? That does not seem logical you have more cores

Maybe the new 5000X B2 Stepping runs cooler, remember I was telling you about that? but again you can compare your cooler to NH-D15

Here are my temps running R23 for 20 min and on idle cooling down in ambient 23C

[Asryan]

Great temps and clocks.. And running stock I'm jealous

I looked above and can't manage to find back the settings you've talked about though

I just read this :
Does 5950X run hotter than 5900X?

The 5950X has slightly less power consumption than the 5900X when running on a standard clock. However, when overclocked, the 5950X will consume significantly more power than the 5900X. Hence, if not overclocked, the 5950X will run cooler, and when overclocked the 5900X will be cooler.

Thanks, but your temps are all good, just try to fix your issue and you are golden:)

I got to do some work. Wish you luck and I will check back later.
Good luck

Thanks again ! 🙂

I wonder if it's related to my AIO
I launched a game for testing and the screen of the Ryujin turned back to default settings.
I had an error prompt about one USB device which wasn't working and there was indeed a usb device marked yellow in the devices manager while the screen of the AIO turned black.
I switched the AIO to another USB header to see if it fixes it

Some updates 😃
I've flashed the 4006 bios and reinstalled windows.
I've f reset my OC settings as they were before and got rid of the custom power plan I was using to use the balanced one. Temps are a bit higher on idle but the same or even lower during gaming actually.
I changed the internal usb of the ryujin aio



All seems stable for few days, I've played for few hours and work for few days, no issues so far..

Nice to hear that. If you can, leave that for the next few days as this issue can develop within a week or so, I say leave it for additional 4-5 days and if you still stable, its the Bios 4201 that brakes things and needs to be avoided.

Good luck
