Hello guys,

I want to ask something, if anyone has information and can give me information, I would be glad.

On the official Asus BIOS&Firmware page, I saw a firmware called "ASUS LEGO IT8857GX V105 firmware Update tool". What does it do? Should I update it?

I just noticed it to. I'm not sure what it is but I tried installing it and it installed without error. I believe it has to you with the USB chipset stability. Since it installed I assume its recommended to install it. I've had some stability issues and I believe USB has been one of them. Usually ASUS special software, drivers, firmware are programed not to install if its not compatible to configuration.

I did some reading today....

It turns out there has been poor performance for some Lego games with some Asus products.  Since I do not play any Lego themed games I left it alone.  It is an interesting find!  I noticed earlier today as well, so it must have just shown up.

Is this a serious answer??
This is a firmware update for the USB chipset, solving instability.

It's the issue with Thunderbolt 4 active cable, some user complain about their Thunderbolt 4 hub keep disconnecting.
This firmware fix this issue.

Here's some reference with the passive and active cable: https://plugable.com/blogs/news/what-s-the-difference-between-active-and-passive-thunderbolt-cables
