In general, I also caught a cyclic reboot with the asus z490 APEX and intel i9-11900k. everything works with the 10850k, as I understand it, except by replacing the motherboard, I won't get rid of it? Or wait for the new ME firmware? How often do they go out?

Actually, that would be a great idea, for Mokichu to mention these are not official, it would spare him a lot of grief and questions.

And that this version has issues as a note.

I also tried to downgrade the ME firmware, to which he replied with an error.
Here is the literal text of the error: Error 357: Update to Image with lower VCN is not allowed.
I understand there is protection, is there an opportunity to bypass it?

Not really. Tried an earlier version of the 14.1.65 firmware, which had the same SVN so it could be flashed, but it had the same issues.

Can I just wait for the new firmware update ME? Perhaps it will solve the problem with a cyclic reboot on the 11th generation of processors. The most interesting thing is that everything works for me now on the 10th generation, and it reboots from the 11th.

It might, but it might not, depending on what the details of the problem are. For official releases from Asus, I wouldn't hold my breath either.

Never again install ME from a third party, lesson learned the hard way. I struggled for several hours trying to get my system to boot normally. Got it to successful post after a process of elimination of various bios settings. Can't change the BCLK or go with manual overclocking but was able to get my OC's back by syncing the cores and manual VCORE settings. Bought a refurbished STRIK Z490-E as backup.

thanks god or to idk who but i never learn from that kind experience , i only download bios and firmware FROM OFFICIAL PAGE RELEASE , idk why asus moderator allow to this user post link to download from mega.nz firmware for h470/z490 when he is not official worker from asus and to make it worse firmware with problems
i know i using old version (Version 14.1.53.1649V1.1) of ME the lastest from official asus page , ME intel detection tool say is vulnerable , but i use the last bios 2601 with zero problem , also i remember a asus moderator in the forum told me the ME is no very important than the bios , the bios are more important
i hope asus engineering make a real ME firmware to resolve the problem that aloot people are facing with the computer i know we are now gen 12 intel , but hello z490 is not obsolete motherboard , and no only that the post in every motherboard model of z490 example here https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-xii-formula-model/helpdesk_bios , no in the forums for download the firmware in/from the forum
