Question New Asus Z790 BIOS - Any Issues?

[steve489]

I just spotted there is a new BIOS for my Asus TUF Gaming WiFi Plus Z790 motherboard (see below). Are there any issues using it?

1. Update Intel ME version 16.1.25.2124v4
2. Update Intel Microcode.
3. Improve memory compatibility.
Before BIOS update, please download Intel ME update tool from ASUS support site, and update ME firmware to Version 16.1.25.2124v4 to ensure optimized system settings.

The usual rule is to not flash with a bios update unless it contains a fix that is impacting you.
Used to be that a failed flash could permanently brick your motherboard.

Today, I think recovery is possible and much better.

I just ran the update through armory crate... When the download was finished I clicked restart my computer and I've been sitting here for 45 minutes waiting for my computer to finish and post.

All my fans are currently spinning at like 75% speed and my screen is blank. Nothing is happening. I'm debating if I should just flip power and try booting up again.

So, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND UPDATING AT ALL!

Same boat right now. What ended up happening for you?
