Z690 Gaming A 2403 New Bios Avoid

[Adrian1983]

Avoid this new bios, Instantly crashes Cinebench which is fine with previous and also CPU overheating and locking PC up.

Yet another Asus thorn in the side of ****** ups lately, How many more who knows!

Yep strange, I loaded up defaults after the bios installed saved and went back in, Loaded up my profile and first thing I noticed was cinebench instantly shoot up to 89c (Never goes past 70-71 normally) and wattage was over 205w normally 195w and it locked up with CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT, Didn't even bother looking into why as I loaded my profile up and so this shouldn't happen, Flashed back to previous bios and all back to normal.

Are you loading a profile CMO from the old BIOS? Try starting fresh. Especially if you’re loading up a previous CMO with an AI OC. Cross flashing is supported but not possible to offer assurances it will always work depending on what’s changed, ucode etc. If the system is overclocked and unstable, then the overclock is unstable. If it’s easier for you to flashback rather than troubleshoot then that’s your prerogative

Hi, It is the previous CMO I am using however I don't use AI OC all my settings are manual so not sure to be honest.

[Silent_Scone]

Always best to build from scratch in that instance.
