Been on 0906 since the day it launched on my Maximus IX Hero, couldn't be happier. Everything works as expected. I really don't understand how people can have so many issues.

Could these 0906 bios issues (I haven't read through this thread) cause cpu temp fluctuations? I was on a MSI B150M Mortar Arctic w/ 6600K idle windows w/ firefox and MCC playing a video temps were 28-31C . Since upgrading to the Z270G my cpu temp is all over the place (and yes I have wasted time pulling the H100i GTX and reapplied TIM) 28-54C. Currently while watching temps for the past 3 minutes with just standard things running in the background and this FF browser open I'm bouncing around at 29-34C. Open a video with MCC and the temp bumps up to 44C for a second or two then back down to 31-38C while playing the video.

To me it seems it's getting much higher then with the B150M and sure if fluctuating around alot more. There is no overclock on the system and my cooling config is exactly the same from the B150M. As mentioned sometimes it gets into the 50C+ range while just watching a video and browsing the internet (4-5 tabs open)

I continue my journey and with some teaching from a ROG users and I double check all data. i can report that i can not find any issues on 0906. these morning, i make a jump from 45 to 46 with 1.280v on vcore. I did use all latest asus drivers. including audio aura (asus need to polish that better) Aida64 was ok (1h run), is raining here so temps are 26C at 75% humidity. cinebench was ok to CBCPUX=1013.402245 i did see some pause on second run. (still checking that) My rams are on XMP 3200. I will jump to 47 next week since i know that these small jumps need more vcore. untill i see that these current settings is ok and stable i will continue. I did see some jumps of temps also. i do use a very good AIO from Aphacool. the jump are normal. I will delit the chip just to tripple check these. I will look playing a video using WINDOWS apps only! and report back

Today just now, the computer did not want to turn off. After a hard reset and go event viewer I fun error that I did not see before error on raid (I do not have that) and other here and there issues. I will compile some tomorrow and posted here. Aside of that I did not experience issues with temps or voltage drops. As far I read, and a little digging, could be communication with Windows and the board maybe chipset etc. I will post these tomorrow for opinions. Maybe can revise a look of those 2 program. Btw I did not install aisuite

Yesterday i updated BIOS of my Strix Z270H to last version 1004, posted in thread related to HT problem. This new version doesn't resovled the problem with XMP - my PC is still can not wake up from sleep. To get them work properly i still need to manual setup System Agent and VCCIO voltages.

After the ROG series is validated, BIOS updates will trickle down to other Z270 boards.

Hello,

Is there anyone who has ever tried to put a firmware rog on an asus prime z270-a?

Because I would like to access the extreme twerk menu to be able to modify the cpu pll oc to have less temperature on my cpu.
