Question Question About 13900k

[XxDarkMario20xX]

Asus z790 gaming e Bios Version 2503 has just come out beta for the 13th and 14th CPU and just wondering do 13900k CPU has to do this update because says Non K Processors?

"The new BIOS includes Intel microcode 0x129 and adjusts the factory default settings for the non-K processors, enhancing the stability of Intel Core 13th and 14th gen desktop processors.

Updating this BIOS will simultaneously update the corresponding intel ME to version 16.1.30.2307.
Please note after you update this BIOS, the ME version remains the updated one even if you roll back to an older BIOS later.
Before running the USB BIOS Flashback tool, please rename the BIOS file (SZ790E.CAP) using BIOSRenamer."

K skus are not immune to these problems. In fact, based on the most recent data it seems the problems might actually be WORSE on K, KF and KS parts.

If it is a new BIOS for your specific motherboard, install it whether you have an affected CPU or not.

What is the actual model of your board? Is it the Z790-E Gaming WiFi?

And what Windows version are you running?

So, if you haven't already, it would be a good idea to make sure you have the latest chipset driver for your board, as available on the Z790-E Gaming WiFi product support page. Probably in fact a good idea to check each of the available drivers there to make sure you have the latest ones installed. Also, after updating the BIOS, it's a good idea to do a hard reset of the BIOS even though it means you will need to reconfigure your custom settings in there afterwards. Otherwise, some configuration settings might not actually change. Often some settings get "stuck" even after updating the BIOS.

BIOS Hard Reset procedure

Power off the unit, switch the PSU off and unplug the PSU cord from either the wall or the power supply.

Remove the motherboard CMOS battery for about three to five minutes. In some cases it may be necessary to remove the graphics card to access the CMOS battery.

During that five minutes while the CMOS battery is out of the motherboard, press the power button on the case, continuously, for 15-30 seconds, in order to deplete any residual charge that might be present in the CMOS circuit. After the five minutes is up, reinstall the CMOS battery making sure to insert it with the correct side up just as it came out.

If you had to remove the graphics card you can now reinstall it, but remember to reconnect your power cables if there were any attached to it as well as your display cable.

Now, plug the power supply cable back in, switch the PSU back on and power up the system. It should display the POST screen and the options to enter CMOS/BIOS setup. Enter the bios setup program and reconfigure the boot settings for either the Windows boot manager or for legacy systems, the drive your OS is installed on if necessary.

Save settings and exit. If the system will POST and boot then you can move forward from there including going back into the bios and configuring any other custom settings you may need to configure such as Memory XMP, A-XMP or D.O.C.P profile settings, custom fan profile settings or other specific settings you may have previously had configured that were wiped out by resetting the CMOS.

In some cases it may be necessary when you go into the BIOS after a reset, to load the Optimal default or Default values and then save settings, to actually get the hardware tables to reset in the boot manager.

It is probably also worth mentioning that for anything that might require an attempt to DO a hard reset in the first place, IF the problem is related to a lack of video signal, it is a GOOD IDEA to try a different type of display as many systems will not work properly for some reason with displayport configurations. It is worth trying HDMI if you are having no display or lack of visual ability to enter the BIOS, or no signal messages.

Trying a different monitor as well, if possible, is also a good idea if there is a lack of display. It happens.
