reupens
Level 7
BIOS 1602 is now out.
1. Improve system performance.
2. Support the latest 8th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor.


It's still propagating on the support site, so it's only showing for some operating systems.

Your problem from waking properly from sleep mode and not booting is most likely vcore related. 5.0ghz @ 1.225v seems to be an extremely low vcore to have that chip stable. By default the chip has a vcore of 1.30-1.31v....What stability programs have you ran to stress the chip ?

5 ghz no avx 1.225 v on prime 95 small ffts stable doubt it lol thats a golden chip

Hi all,

I have some trouble with this new bios 1602. I updated to 1503 before and I was really happy with the result in OC (1.3V measured at the caps for 5 GHz rock solid).

If I try to update to 1602, the computer won't boot, and If it boot it doesn't apply the setting of Bios (1.44v in stead of 1.3V in bios). I don't understand why.

I also have noticed something strange with bios 1503, sometimes modifications in bios are not considered. It seems to be due to ram training. If I try apply new settings and I get a code 55, the new settings are not applied even If the computer restart by itself and I don't get any error message when the 2nd boot occurs (no press F1). Can you help me?

I wonder if it's linked to AI SUITE III, because If I do something with AI SUITE III (like fans benchmark for example), the settings are applied from bios at the next boot and I see the modification in TPU!!


My configuration:

- Asus maximus X hero
- proc i7 8700k
- 32Gb (2*16gb) of Gskill B-die trident Z
- Asus 980 Ti poséidon platinum
- Custom water loop (360mm + 280mm radiators, medium thickness))
- Corsair RM1000x
- Fans on VRM

Had the same issue before I manually set the Vcore. Prior to manually setting the vcore it'd run 1.385 under load. Used prime95 to check stability and it runs for hours at this speed gaming w/o issue. This is what it reports under load p95 with vcore manually set to 1.225v. Highest core temp about 75c.

I get the impression your really annoyed with high voltage chip you have and are trying to get everybody else to raise there voltage 🙂 !!

I have an odd issue with this 1602 BIOS. I'm on Maximus X hero Wifi AC version. I updated the bios and now I can't see Wifi adapter on device manager, I double checked that I flashed correct version, and I have that devide enabled on bios.

Anyone could check if have the same issue??.

Many people had this same issue. They had to clear cmos and/or remove battery, toggle the LN2 switch etc. to get everything working again.

Bro....not in the least....I have yet to see any 8700k nor 8086k...that can pass a Prime 95 stress...2.. 4..6...even 8 hrs at 5.0ghz with such a low vcore.....If such a chip exists...it is truly rare...so rare infact...Silicon Lottery can't seem to deem one in inventory.....I'd be more that happy to congratulate the individual(s) who have such a chip ....and the documented stress test that backs that claim.....Aida64..Intel Burn Test...
Real Bench are all stress tests for CPU stability....but not as taxing as Prime95 if your looking for true stability.. IMO
Now....why would I want everyone to bump up the voltage on their chips....no benefit to me...my chip is on par with same voltage to match frequency that has been documented for such chips....
If such chips like yours are out there...please share....as I'm sure all forum members would like to know that there are chips like that in the wild !!

True stability is in the eye of the holder, if your biggest most taxing workload is Blender or Premiere then that should be used for stability.
Dont touch Prime95 with a barge pool, it just cooks your cpu like no other workload out there, completely pointless imo..

Your not 100% stable until you pass P95.....Gotta go through some hurdles and take some risks when overclocking to make claims.
