Did you update Intel ME as well as the bios? Maybe I misunderstood your post but the ME doesn't update when you update your BIOS. They are separate and both need to be manually updated.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.
this is untrue when it comes to newer ASUS bios. they now automatically update with intel ME when you update the bios (if the bios needs a updated intel ME). its really convenient.
as to op. this is normal. software and even the bios doesnt ackownledge the different versions. if the number is the same than it will just show the number.
Literally go to the prime 790A page from Asus. It says to update ME before updating bios......
