For those who have went ahead and bought an 11900k using a z490 mobo, I’ve encountered a really weird issue with this cpu and I’m hoping nobody else runs into it.
I had my 10900k updated to the latest bios to be compatible with 11900k. I also had it set in raid 0, and been working perfectly for awhile. To my surprise after simply installing the 11900k into my system, it proceeded into a weird booting up pattern, even while I attempt to press the DEL key this whole time. Eventually I get into the BIOS and notice my raid setup is corrupt now. So I delete it since I don’t have much on it anyway, load defaults bios, restart, and set back into raid from ahci.
This is the weird part, after changing my 2 m.2 storage remapping to enabled and restart into bios, the m2_1 reverts itself back to disabled. Tried to enable it a couple more times and it still disabled itself on its own. So I tried putting my 10900k back in to see if anything might have been wonked during the initial swap and nope, the remapping for both m.2s is successful and the raid array can be created successfully. I don’t know if I’m missing something with new 11900ks and if they’re supposed to act this way and I’m missing a setting, but it can be inconvenient for someone who’s dumb enough to use this array (like me).
Another note: the 11900k can’t run my 8x4 ram in 4000mhz cl15 at all. I had to remove two of them in order for it to post. Not a fan I had to halve my memory and lose my raid setup just for a new cpu, so I’ll probably be sticking to my 10900k for now since I didn’t see noticeable gains in any gaming.
TLDR; on an 11900k and my z490 mobo, enabling storage remapping for setting a raid array didn’t stick so it corrupted my raid volume. And certain XMP profiles with ram that may have worked on your previous gen intels might not work on rocket lake, or 11900ks

What's the exact motherboard model? Just to document this issue fully.
