Z790 microcode fix for 13/14th gen?

[GoTSkillZ]

Hi,

When will the new microcode bios fix be available for z790 motherboards for 13/14th gen? as per intel it was supposed to be out by the 10th right?

Has anyone tried the latest bios update? What is the situation? Is this issue solved now or does it still make sense to stay on the Intel baseline profile?

Bios stable, no issue after update

no issues on my 14900 ks sp 124 

8600 c36 ddr5 

passed vst ycruncher cinebench , kuru 

I don't want to upgrade the new microcode just hurts PERFOMANCE and u can't roll back.  just tune the PC properly

Also running 0x125 update on Apex Encore, no issues with either 8200 C34 or 8600 C36 profiles.

An update into this: I updated again to 2402, downclocked my CPU 200mhz on both, P and E cores, used Asus OC mode instead of intel defaults and enabled Intel Fail Safe in the SVD, while also not using XMP. It is for now more stable than before, haven't experienced weird crashes.

Yesterday with the old 2202 bios I had 5 crashes to desktop while gaming due to the same unstability issues we usually face, which got me to do perform this test. OCCT tests for 30 mins and Cinebench 23 for 30 mins gave 0 issues.

Z790-E Gaming Wifi II, 14900k recently bought in May. Bios version 1102.  I haven't had any issues so far, but I immediately went into the bios on day 1 and changed PL1 125, PL2 253, IccMax 307, disabled MCE, changed the 2- 6x cores to 57x, enabled XMPI at 5600. Cooling with the Corsair 420mm, max temps 60-70c gaming.  Has worked perfect.  Because pretty much every tech channel out there is saying to update to the newest bios I did that yesterday on my ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI II. Updated to BIOS 1402 with microcode 0x125. Turned on the Intel defaults, trying extreme and performance settings and did not enable XMP.  I never went over 1.4v before the new bios but now I was going past 1.5v.  I noticed lowest Vcore/VidMax voltages were lower but also much higher Vcore/Vidmax voltages which scared me., also all my P&E clocks were dipping way down from 5.7 & 4.4 to only .800 randomly.  Also with the Intel default settings I could not change any other settings in bios, I just got a pop up every time saying not to change them.  So I went back to BIOS 1102 and I am going to wait for the August update to see if that is any better.  Maybe I should just stay with bios 1102?

Hi All,

I see a new BIOS 2503 update which is in beta, and it says for all non-K cpu. My CPU is 14900K, so there is no need for me to update to this bios? will there be a new bios for K series processor to fix the high core VIDs? or we need to manually fix it?

[Taslehoff]

I've updated but nothing changed for us so far I believe. I think another one will come for K user too. 
Current cpu ( 14700K ) ve very unstable when playing games. Some hits up to 88 and gives red led warning then crashes. Some just waving between 50-80 very very weird. Hope this microcode fix issues, although some youtubers says nothing to do already bought unstable cpus but we will see.

The bios update is for both, k and non k processors. I have it in my 13900K and the microcode is now 0x129. Also, the definition in the asus webpage leaves no doubt, it just says it has better default settings for non-k processors..

My CPU is new (I RMA'd the old one, it was unbearable) and have 0 issues for now. Also, jayztwocents evaluated the new microcode and there is 0 impact in performance. The peak voltage demands are reduced tho, which soulh be good.

Thanks Asus for the fast beta version (not intel, 'cause we don't have to say "thanks" to a company that has acted so bad against his own set of customers).
