M8, if the unknown device just sits there hidden, doesn't crash the system or affect stability whats the problem ? Supposedly if its another hardware part it cant be used by Windows for lack of driver and someone will find out what it is eventually. At 1st i thought it was part of my GPU since i only install drivers+PhysX instead of the whole thing (as you can see in the pic below i have 2 other devices from it). The BIOS upgrade fixes instabilities and errors and makes your system overall faster, isn't that something we all want ?

Hello,

I have a Maximus VIII Hero with Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2400C14 kit (x2). After BIOS v1701 I'm having XMP problems as mentioned above and couldn't find a solution yet. I'm not fussed about it much, performance benefit from it wouldn't be significant however I'd like to be able to set XMP as it's a part of my hardware function. I'm writing this just as "another person with XMP problem with latest BIOS version", I hope ASUS is working on it, this is a high-end MB when we pay for it and I expect the same "high-end" feeling when there's something needs to be fixed.

Hey there, Melllita, and thanks for contributing to your experience with recent BIOS XMP issues with us.
Yep, seems like you fall into the certain 2400-2800 kit crowd that affects some people since 1701.

With the listing of specific kits through two threads that bring up the issues, you'd think we could get some kind of acknowledgment, or "Hey, we'll test with these kits and see what's going on."

Something. Anything.

Hopefully it gets looked into and resolved down the road.

Hi,

I'm one of the guys that had that problem, with BIOS prior to 1701, with Gskill Ripjaws V DDR4-2800MHz 2x8GB (F4-2800C15D-16GVR) kit.

Today, before change the memory kit, I flashed my MB with BIOS 2001, and check again if this issue is still happening, and yes...it was!

Then, I've changed my memory to a new kit I bought, and that was the Gskill Trident Z DDR4-3000MHz 2x8GB (F4-3000C15D-16GTZ).

After installed this new kit, the MB run smooth and without any issue described above!

The Gskill Ripjaws V DDR4-2800MHz 2x8GB (F4-2800C15D-16GVR) was in the initial QVL List of this MB, and I can't understand why Asus doesn't do nothing to fix this, even after so many people claimed about this situation!

Why do you assume this is an issue on Asus side? It could very well be an issue with the particular RAM kit that you have. Overclocked RAM (anything abobe 2133MHz is overclocked) are finely tuned pieces of electronics, and no 2 kits are exactly alike. Maybe all it took for your kit to work smoothly was to increase DRAM voltage by a notch or two. Isn't this a more likely possibility?

If what you are saying is true, then it shouldn't work under 1701 as well, obviously the settings have changed when using 1902 or 2001.
So no I don't think it's a RAM issue, it's definitely ASUS that has the issue and it's them that haven't tested this RAM and I don't even think they read these forums to be honest.

What's really disappointing is that there shouldn't be RAM they don't test on the QVL, the point of having a list is so you don't end up with these issues.

It's 2016 we shouldn't be having these hardware issues from bios to bios. I can understand maybe the first versions but we are at version 1701 -> 2001 and we get issues?

Hi,

Do you read what I've wrote?

My memory Kit, was in the ASUS QVL list, and it wasn't a bad unit, because I work with this every day (professionally), and I tested them ok? Even with other brand like Kingstone or even Crucial, happened the same issue.

With tests I've made, only 3000MHz or higher kits, don't suffer this issue with this particularly BIOS (1901 and above).

If you read this thread / forum with attention, you could read that there's more users with same issue, and with different memory kits / brands.

I have a problem too with xmp settings with this bios and 1902, seems like in realbench I cant stress test because it gives me an error that I don't have enough memory if I set to 16 gb ram and I have 16 gb corsair at 3000 mhz or sometimes it runs but I have very laggy mouse and In prime95 I had errors on one worker after 45 minutes so I rolled back to 1701 and now works fine and the worst part is that my memory is in qvl list. Is is just me or can someo e relate this problem?

new bios broke my board with XMP setting and Giving me Qcode 00 and 41..
