which bios is best for XIII and 10900K?
I got this Asus Apex XIII motherboard, paired with a 10900K...
I hoped to have something nice and high end but I'm having nothing but problems.
I installed the motherboard and I had a terrible week-end.
Before I had Apex XII paired with a 10900K - everything was ok, but I decided to upgrade to XIII, unfortunately this week-end I spent testing and retesting and so on, system is crashing no matter I was doing.
I tried different bios versions: 0506, 0605, 0707 even 0801 - still having lots of restarts, system gets stuck, 7F errors and others and stuff...
Sometimes when restarting, computer gets stuck having the 7F error, tried everything, reseated the CPU, Graphics card , nothing, BUT removing battery worked, and system finally restarted, but in the end the simplest solution is something from the past I remembered, to power down completely the computer and hold the power button at least for a minute and then power it up again...
While trying different older bios versions I could run benchmarks for a longer time.
And yes, apparently I can't play anything... Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk, 3D mark benchmarks, everything crashes...
Installed all bios versions available, tried different drivers, reinstalled windows even, nothing, still crashes and restarts suddenly.
Even if everything is DEFAULT in bios, not even XMP activated...
While crashing I keep getting a Kernel Power 41 error - it seems something is pulling to much power or not enough I am not sure.
Using the same components on the Asus XII system everything was ok.
It's quite frustrating, I don't know anymore what to do...
Asus XIII Apex

3090 KingPin
970 Evo Plus 2TB
Seasonic 850W Titanium
SoundBlaster Z
Edit:
since I'm having also 7F errors during some restarts, might be some kind of power / graphics card stuff...
I noticed an additional power connector, didn't know if this was optional for extreme OC (which I'm not doing by the way)...
Anyways... I plugged also the power connector labeled D, apparently I could play RDR2 for almost three hours without any crash/restart!
So this means that there is mandatory to connect this one? Are there any re-routing circuits on this motherboard?
I thought this was optional, but apparently for a 3090 needs to be connected.
I don't know if this really solves the issue, but clearly has been an improvement so far.
But in the end, bios still needs some serious work... on the ram side, PCI-E, power side, video cards...
Saw lots of users using Z590 with 10900K.
