I don't know how all that works so can't comment on it.

Sorry for the delay. It gave me boot problems. I would have to shut down and restart the computer. I eventually disabled hibernation. I also should've stated that this was with Win7. I don't use it in Window 10 because of previous issues. I just put it to sleep and never had an issue with...

Hibernation always gave me problems with my older PC. I only put PC to sleep now.

Google is your friend. I just google what's in my head. You'd be amazed when your actual question pop up just as you type it and find what you are looking for because someone else had the same question. My Corsair 5000D case has one of these powered fan hubs already built into the back of the...

If you really want to control your fans, set up fan curves (smooth fan ramp function and not that yo-yo function) using, say ambient temperature or water temperature (water cooling) or whatever parameter you can think of, then you should consider the Aquacomputer Octo or Quadro fan controllers...

That's exactly what I did when I installed the AMD 7800x3D. I flashed the BIOS to the board before I installed anything so that I knew 100% that it had the correct BIOS to accept the new CPU. BIOS Flashback is a much easier process than the other version I must say.

Ahh, that's why it did not work. The video doesn't specifically say not to have any files, but it specifically says to prepare drive by formatting it, which would wipe all files on the USB. Try it again next time. It's much easier than having to enter BIOS or the OS (I would not use the OS...

Yes, it works and it works perfectly. This is how I update BIOS and no it's not just for when you have a corrupt BIOS or some other BIOS issues; it's for updating BIOS, just another method to update BIOS. You just need to make sure you place the firmware in the root drive and not in a folder...

Does the tool cost more than the board?

Great find. Asus doesn't have this listed. I just did the update. I am now all up to date.

I agree about 0805 being rock solid but I knew it was time for an upgrade. I updated to 1904 which came out at the end of January. I've had no issues since the update. I reset all OC settings (CPU/RAM) from 0805 and ran many Cinebench stress and stability tests and it's been good. I really...

Yeah, I did see something about the LEDs during the updates but it was for the EK water blocks and the MB. Thanks. I was just curious.

Thanks for the feedback. I updated to 1904. I ran/running some Cinebench tests (stock and Ai Oc) and EXPOII and all is good so far. Question. I noticed when I booted the system after I loaded the new firmware, it gave several messages that it was updating other things, such as Thunderbolt...

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing but after reading what is was for, but they always put that one bullet there about improved system stability that makes you think about it. Which version do you suggest that most had success with?

Anyone update to new BIOS? Any news on it...good, bad, stay away? I read to stay away from 1807 because it was unstable for many (assume that's the reason for 1904) and that 1709 was pretty good. I am still on what I believe is the original or 2nd BIOS (0805) and considering updating to the...
