RaptorLake Resources

[Shamino]

i will use this as a collection of test bioses/tools/info targeted towards Raptorlake + z69/790

NOTE for Z690: You must update ME on your Z690 to properly support raptorlake (if you are on dual bioses then you need to do this to both bioses)

1) d/l and install ME driver

2) update ME with ME Update Tool (I know there are newer versions but its not up on Asus official site yet so >= this version is fine)
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/03CHIPSET/MEUpdateTool_16.1.25.1885_T.zip

3) update to Latest BIOS of your choice

Note 2 for Z690: i have some Z690s that are already LOW in battery so you are advised to use a new Battery during this upgrade.

Are there differents between 9901 apex white and 9903 apex? in terms of stability has anyone found any differences between the z790 Apex 9901 and 9903 BIOS? Thank you

[bass_junkie_xl]

i cant keep up with these bioses lol i ran tm5 / vst on both betas and passed after this im retiring from betas lol 

thanks safe disk 

[Vynra]

this beta is clearly just to optimize the 14900ks. no need unless you have one

[kvarq]

no 2102 baseline link for Apex, just the modded one 9903

Bios update for z690 extreme to support 14900ks?

[Andy-1981]

AI goes kind of crazy for me... is it intended to do that?

[Silent_Scone]

Have you adjusted the cooler score or ran anything strenuous? Your cooler score is quite high, to say the least - the prediction takes this into account.

[Andy-1981]

Nothing adjusted, only some serious benching. So your right, I already realized that it tunes in relation to the maximum Heat/Wattage cooled in the last run, was running unleashed bios 5,9 P-Core 4,8 E-Core and did multiple cinebench runs high 400+ watt... never really realized that.

what a pitty I got such a "bad chip" this time. but at least DDR5 8200 Karhu stable.

running direct die with ambient water cooling. so no chilled water.

Pushed the boundaries even further

I experienced a Problem, don´t know if it is BIOS related:

System:

• 14900KS
• Asus Maximus Apex Encore (Bios 9903)
• Patriot Xtreme5 8000
• Gainward 4090
• More detail? let me know....

After 30min to 1,5hrs playing Lords of the fallen I had freezes or error messages, now comes the point:

Only when Multicore Enhancement were activated, power draw 80-130W so full boost all core (5,9 P-Core 4,5 E-Core)

As soon as I deactivated it i could play for ~4hrs no crash, power draw 80-130W also full boost all core (5,9 P-Core 4,5 E-Core)

Error:

LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\Jenkins\workspace\main\Anathema\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Util.cpp] [Line: 871] CurrentQueue.Device->GetDevice()->GetDeviceRemovedReason() failed at D:\Jenkins\workspace\main\Anathema\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Submission.cpp:910 with error 887A0006

I tried before:

DX12 reinstall / My 4090 was on Galax HoF Bios so i tried the Original / manual set same Values with MCE on, from MCE OFF which you can set by hand

What I will try next is MCE OFF but Unlimited by Hand...
