Hello everyone!
Topic number 1:
Few weeks ago I did BIOS update to 3212 (and that updated ME to 16.1.30.2307v4).
After update I saw reduced performance in some scenarios. This PC is mainly used for flight simming, so most of my benchmarks i'm doing in MS Flight Simulator. It is heavily CPU based game, so I assume something is wrong with either BIOS or Intel ME.
Before update I had in my benchmark situation 60-61FPS and no bigger stutters. After update to 3212 and that newest ME version i was down to 51-52FPS and stutters.
So i decided to roll back. I couldn't remember what version I was on before update, but after some testing 2611 or lower gives best result (with Intel ME rolled down to version 16.1.27.2176v2_S).
This gives around 57-58 FPS, so less than i had before update, and slight stutters, but it's better than newest BIOS with newest ME.
Any idea what can cause the issue with newest BIOS version and newest ME?

After that I decided to update my 12600k to 13600kf, and that made obviously huge improvement in performance. But then... I noticed that whatever BIOS version I will install, there's no "Asus Enhancement Performance" option in BIOS. So i can't unlock PL1 and PL2.
Any idea why is it missing and what can I do to have that option with 13600KF?
