New Z790-Extreme BIOS 2402

[vincio]

Hi,
I updated the bios to the latest version 2402, which contains the fix for microcode to 0x125 eTVB, too bad that my previous settings I had with bios 1801 now no longer work.

I had these settings before, but after the update the machine is unstable:

Ai Overclock Tuner: XMP Tweaked
ASUS MultiCore Enhancement: Enabled - Remove All limits
SVID Behavior: Best-Case Scenario
Performance Core Ratio: AI Optimized
Optmized AVX Frequency: Normal Use
Efficent Core Ratio: AI Optimiezed

Digi+ VRM
-> CPU Load-line Calibration: Level 5

Thermal Velocity Boost:
-> Overclocking TVB Global Temperature Offset Value: +10

AI Features:
-> Cooler Efficiency Customize: User Specify
-> Cooler Score: 177

BCLK Aware Adaptive Volgate: Auto
Actual VRM Core VOltage: Auto
Global Core SVID Voltage: Auto

High Dram Voltage Mode: Enabled

To get everything working, I had to reset the bios to load default and then set these settings:

Performance Preferences [ASUS Advanced OC Profile]
Ai Overclock Tuner [XMP Tweaked]
ASUS MultiCore Enhancement [Auto – Lets BIOS Optimize]
Performance Core Ratio [AI Optimized]
Efficient Core Ratio [AI Optimized]
Global Core SVID Voltage [Adaptive Mode]
- Offset Mode Sign [-]
- Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage [Auto]
- Offset Voltage [0.07500]

AI Features:
-> Cooler Efficiency Customize: User Specify
-> Cooler Score: 177

High Dram Voltage Mode: Enabled

I hope it can help someone! 😉

At the moment with Cinebench or OCCT and a negative offset of -0.100 of the Global Core SVID Volt, after hours of testing the system does not crash and gets a high score of 38,500 in Multi Core and 2,150 in Single core. I have a 13900k. What do you recommend instead?

Nothing. Other than not undervolting if experiencing issues, and refraining from using an older CMO profile. Microcode can and does have an impact on these things occasionally

I have never used the CMO profiles at each update and I also advise against using them, so every time I reset everything manually and then save the new CMO needed if you then play with the bios.

Regarding the Global Offset Svid applied to the entire VID it is clear, but at the moment I consider it the only solution to manage the entire CPU voltage, because the problem is precisely this on this 13th and 14th series of i9 K.

While placing limits on PL1 and PL3 only serves to limit the maximum Watts, they have nothing to do with the instability of the oscillation with the voltage. I also read that limiting PL1 and PL3 even at high wattages, as suggested for example 300, serves to avoid cyber attacks.
