I recently flashed the bios to the latest 2902 version solving the problem with not booting from my samsung pro ssd which the former bios only saw after a reboot. Now the system runs fine and boots up fast. I used the ez tweak menu, set it on game pc and after 2 mousklicks there it was, 4150 Mhz CPU speed. Ok I thought, so easy and effortless let's correct the Mem speed then I have 16 Gb of Corsair 3 Mhz DDr4 lined up which the bios lists at
the standaard speed of 2166 Mhz. In the mem menu I kept everything on auto, set the disired mem speed to 3000 Mhz and set the overclock profile to watercooled cpu (ttf 2 or something) . The bios asks: start tuning y/n ok sure, y, hm what followed was my rig rattling along for 5 mins, after that i shut it totally down including removing the power chord for 2 mins to have a full power down. Well, that was a shock, the system refused booting. Ok, I fixed it by plugging in the usb stick with the latest bios file at the bios update port, takes just a minute, then the rig was booting up as it should. But ok, big fun 1 wrong setting and the bios is corrupted...something to work on asus?! With an overclockers Mobo one should be able to experiment without being thrown out directly shouldn't one rofl. Which leads also to the manual, why not elaborate on what one may expect, for instance, when activating the tuning option, how should the PC respond and how long does it take to complete...in my case I shut it down ater 5 mins of just rattling along, I don't want to waste my expensive rig....some better instructions could be very assuring & helpful here is my point of vieuw. Also, many functions in the manual are not explained to their consequences, I can see myself in the bios screen that one can select Y or No but what does it do to my system? Or go launch some nice instructions on youtube for my sake.
