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.
yup. up to 10c variance is pretty normal. however if its more than 15c variance its probably a mounting issue.
it might be your cooler is too tightened and causing bending. i've honestly never heard of the asus board issue.
well first make sure all your drivers are up to date. second make sure you open command prompt in admin mode and type "sfc /scannow" without quotations. see if it finds any corruption. if it does restart your computer and see if that fixes it. if you still get that crash you have some sort of hardware failure.
I hate questions like these. Will you plan on running with or without power limits? Just get a decent air cooler if you don’t want the best performance
theres no reason to not get it. took me 4 minutes to install and i ensure there is no cpu bending/bad contact. aslo they are cheap.
35k is actually below what is normal for stock. 37-39k is normal for 253w limit. if your getting below that something is running that is eating resources or thermal throttling hard
this error is graphics card related. but could also be SSD related as well as it might have corrupted sectors.
go to command prompt (open as admin) and do "sfc /scannow" without quotes and see if it finds corruption. keep restarting your computer and doing this again and if it keeps saying you have corrupted files after a day or 2 you might have a dying gpu or bad ssd
ok first, use hwinfo not hwmonitor. it has an issue of sometimes misreporting with intel
second, if your actually hitting those temps at that power draw than you have a cooling issue. you should be 37-40k depending on settings
in hwinfo see what your power limits are. if pl1 and pl2 or at 253w or over than your for sure having a cooling issue. as your not even hitting 200 watts
my motherboard has has unlimited power limits for the pl2 but the pl1 is at 253. so for 96 seconds it will be at 100c but after that boost period is done it will go to 253w and stay at 80c. this is a good compromise if you want short/burty performance but long rendering it will stay at 253w after the boost period is over
Absolutely need a fresh install. Every single AMD driver that was downloaded is still on there and can cause issues. Even today there have been posts of people only getting 16-20k in cinebench when they should be getting 39k because they switched but didn’t fresh install
op do what the comment above me said or go to your motherboard manufacturer website and download the latest i225 ethernet controller driver from there.
