1003 Bios update Z690

[theroc44]

Just downloaded it. Looks like the microcode fixes for the AVX removal are there. I'm still trying to run 64gigs. Gonna see if this update helps at all.

Hi, updated my TUF Gaming Z690 Plus WIFI D4 to 1003 BIOS but noticed that Intel ME firmware wasn't updated. BIOS changelog clearly states: "03. Update Intel ME FW to 16.0.15.1620 V3" so why wasn't ME firmware updated for me? Very odd. Attaching photo of my BIOS screen.

I had the same issue, so I just manually installed it

Moreover, using the software from official motherboard ASUS website doesn't help me and I failed to update something that way

Same issue on the entire Asus lineup as far as I can tell by reading various forums.
Had the same problem on my Extreme and had to update it manually.

Thanks for reassurances, guys. My mind can be at ease now and I'll update ME manually. Asus should improve their communication in changelogs. They are often cryptic or inaccurate.

Saw 1003 available before work this morning, but when I just checked for that bios version just now, it’s not available anymore. ?? Was the bios version removed?

1003 is still showing available to me.

[Hopper64]

Oh good. I’ll recheck that again then. Thanks*

It's gone.
Was up for me only an hour ago.

Just got home ready to update and it's gone

Edit: its back.... strange

Sometimes its missing , something to do with DNS servers I assume.

The Shamino’s 1101 version now works well with SLI. For DDR5 Issues, i have to raise up my voltages for memory from 1.25 to 1.30 to execute the XMP profile specs (4 x 16 modules).
