As far as I concerned this version bios update just to include intel microcode for upcoming Raptor lake CPU. And I personally dont think it change anything else. Having said that, other website quoting that the new version running smoother but with any elaborate statement of any kind about the definition "smoother"

my 8gb x 4 @ 4000 c15 15 15 35 gear 1 needs +0.020v more vccsa vs 1501 and +0.020v more vssaa on dual rank 16gb x2 @ 4133 cl -15-15-15-35 gear 1 on a 12900 ks and 12900k but on strix z690 D4

Beside the VSSSA and VSSAA, any significant negative impact on your system?

Wow....looking good! I'm certenly the only one with the worst luck with an 12900K with an SP @ 76! :'( my Gskill-DDR5 6000mhz running stable in XMP I without CPU overclock , but my cpu is drawing 1.38v @ 4.9ghz without OC! just standard! , something isn't right , or my specifik CPU just need to draw that much to be stable? 😕
