MXI E w 9900K
Fairly substantial loop....
Prior to updating BIOS to ver 1903 (did this for both Resize Bar and W11 support)
Updated from ver 1503 to latest 1903 (both BIOS chips) :
- very odd behavious whereby Intel Speed Shift disappeared all together...as in not appearing under Intel Speed Step (CPU Power Management)
- BIOS was supposed to "auto enable TPM 2.0", BUT it didnt, still had to go in and make the 2 changes to allow system to be "ready for W11".
- At one point just about everything had dissapeared from the "Tools Menu" on one of the BIOS chips.
- completely borked my 3 yr old stable OC's, particularly my 5.1 and 5.2 Ghz benching OC's
- Previous 5.1 Ghz Benching OC was good at 1.365v 5.2 Ghz 1.385v ......not just BSOD
- XMP 1 and 2 seem to load ok
The dissapearing items from the BIOS screen , which after a re-boot they will magically re-appear is really really odd!!!!
Now, I would normally "set to stock settings", F10 and shut down prior to flashing new BIOS....this time I got lazy and left it in a 5Ghz OC state ....
Not sure whats up...but I havent ruled out corrupt BIOS...I'm away from my PC for a week or so, when home I will set back to default...F10..shut down and re-flash, see if that helps.
Once back home I'll go into bios reset to defaults save and shut down then try a re-flash of 1903,,,,if all the same anomalies and strange stuff encountered as indicating above, then I know its a poor BIOS, maybe rushed out to meet W11 installers...who knows.
Is it necessary to clear CMOS after resetting to defaults and shutting down ? I have done many BIOS flashes on Maximus and Rampage boards and have never had to clear CMOS to ensure a good flash ?
