I just updated my bios tonight from 805 to 1005 on my Hero XI. I've been kinda busy these last few months, so after building this rig and getting it running well enough to play games without any crashing or instability , I left things as they were. Didn't really get to start digging into all these neat new features and settings until this week.
I can definitely say that I'm already seeing a significant improvement over 805. Just for the heck of it, I tried playing with the AI tuning feature. On 805 it suggested my 9700k could run at 5.2ghz, however it was totally unstable at that speed. Barely made it past POST, would either get stuck in a boot loop trying to adjust settings, or make it to windows login and crash when running a brief stress test. So I had turned it down to 5.0 and everything was good for gaming after there. A few occasional hiccups that had me wondering if I could get it running better if I really sat down and put in the effort to explore the new features and set more of them manually.
So, tonight I flashed 1005 and figured I'd repeat what I did last time. Reset to defaults, ran AI tuning, booted @5.2ghz on the first try! Ran a Intel XTU stress test for 15 mins. Passed. Temps didn't go over 72C. Voltage topped out @1.393v. (maybe I could get that a bit lower) Ran Realbench for 15, same. Seems stable. And idk, everything just feel snappier. Really quick boot. Windows loaded fast. Did a bit of gaming tonight, no problems. Lookin good so far!
I'm really looking forward to actually familiarizing myself with all the new features and seeing just how high I can go, and just how low I can get these voltages. Haven't really seen what this CPU can do yet! Speaking of new features, I could swear that a bunch of thes settings im seeing in the UEFI wasn't on the original 602 bios... Anything I should know about them?

What new settings did you see?
And you really should be using HWinfo64, and have it running in sensor mode when doing the XTU and Realbench 2.56 stress tests. Look for logged WHEA errors at the bottom. You need to run realbench 2.56 stress for 1 to 2 hours. 15 minutes isn't enough to show anything. Realbench can pass happily and you can still get WHEA correctable errors or BSOD. HWinfo64 will show them at the bottom.

Since flashing 1005 on hero XI I'm having issues with booting. Occasionally it takes me to the bios screen that says memory ok press f1 to enter setup. After entering the bios hss raised the Io and SA voltage a little. I can either leave it or change it back to what I had and then will boot fine. Seems to be doing this every few boots. Wasnt doing it ever before this bios update.
