Since it's now known that ASUS laptops produces in period 2021-2024 have faulty BIOS and since Asus did issue firmware updates to address this for some models, I would like to know when can we expect fix for ROG Strix SCAR 17 SE (2022) models (G733CW and G733CX)? I can see that new firmware is released for regular ROG Strix SCAR 17 (2022) models (G733ZM, G733ZS, G733ZW and G733ZX) on 28th November 2025 (Version 327, 12.84 MB, 2025/11/28) but there is still nothing for Special Edition 2022 models. They seems to be stuck with buggy Version 318, 12.47 MB, 2024/06/04.
I'm not sure how different those regular models are from this SE models, but since SE models costed even more than regular models, it is imperative that those models also get fix for this known BIOS problem.

The G733CX is not affected, so there is no new BIOS.
Thank you.

Well, I don't agree with the claim that G733CX is "not affected". As I wrote here previous, there are a lot of instability issues with that machine where for some reason BIOS limit speed of some or all CPU cores (The speed of processor 21 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report.), then occasional random crashes due to GPU driver and not stable thunderbolt connection. That might or might not be connected to your "known" problem, but whatever is going on, need to be fixed. Even if the problem is something else. Last time you suggested to fix those instabilities with installing GPU and other drivers published on ASUS site, but since you didn't update those for 3 years, that is not an option. You should either fix the problem in BIOS or update your "official" drivers for this machine with the new one if you offer that as a "solution". I can't believe that you cut the support for so expensive machine so quickly.
