1105 was the worst nightmare in existence on Maximus XI Extreme. Plus was blocking reverting back to 1005, took some jumps through the hoops to get it back.
Still on 1005 at the moment, the most stable OCed PC I've had in years.

It seems to be dependent on the person's setup. I would ask the question a different way like. What is the best BIOS builds with the least issues?

I tried again 1502 just to check, and again 9900k at 5 ghz on all core was stable at 1.26 with 1401 and continue to crash/freeze/bsod on 1502 even at 1.30
All settings are the same then with 1401.
I just checked to exclude a bad flash, but bo, it's the bios that is trash on this release (at least for me)

Also there is a really strange behaviour with CPU load or other stuff.
I am on a custom loop with 2x 240 mm rad with very good temp 26-28 C idling (23-25 during the winter) and never seen anything over 50 during gaming and nothing more then 63 during bench.
On 1501 with the same voltage and setting i could see 10C more idling and even more during load

I wanted to give the bios another chance and tried it again - it failed. Iam getting periodic load/temp spikes up to 10C more then BIOS 130x. What does asus do with their bioses - it's a nightmare since versions/months across a lot of motherboards. Looks like Maximus or Hero isnt really "premium" anymore...

after lots of testing i can confirm that this bios 1502 vs the older bioses this bios allows me to run my ram @ 4266 17-18-18-38 stable passes hci mem test scores
62.4 k / 65.2 k/ 60.1 k / 38.6 ns in adia 64 . i flashed back to bios 1402 and nope hci ran for 5 mins had errors .

bios 1502 is the way to go if you like mem ocing .
