FAQ -

Why is my motherboard not listed?

If you are looking for your motherboard/model, please visit https://www.asus.com/us/support/ and check if it has been updated recently. UEFI's BIOS updates are commonly released in waves; as such, it can take a series of motherboards, weeks, or months to have all motherboards have the same corresponding UEFI BIOS update issued. Furthermore, remember that not all updates apply or apply to all models. Due to inherent design differences and specification and feature variation, an update may only apply to a specific model.

How long are motherboards supported with UEFI BIOS updates? How long should I monitor for an update?

In most cases, after a year, boards tend to reach a certain maturity level and see fewer updates. Mature releases can often be seen within the first six months. All non-BETA releases pass qualification and validation. If you feel you have an issue dependent on a UEFI release, please submit a support ticket. Some boards can sometimes see updates for more than 24 months. Also, user experience can vary considerably based on end-use-defined parameters and system configurations ( such as overclocking/performance tuning ). Users running stock operating parameters will experience the least amount of issues.

I want to update, but I am unsure how to update the UEFI "BIOS"?

If you want guidance on how to flash/update your UEFI BIOS, please watch the video linked below. It will guide you through the flashing process and provide insight into essential items to keep in mind when flashing/updating the UEFI BIOS.

Should I update the UEFI if my system is stable and running without issue?

If your system is running without issue, especially if overclocked in any way (including DRAM), it is recommended you stay on the build/release you are on. Changes to underlying auto rules and other operating parameters can change the OC experience and require you to retune a previously stable OC value. This does not mean the UEFI is not a functioning/reliable release but that changes in the underlying code base must be accounted for when tuning a system. As many of these values are low-level, it is best to retune from UEFI defaults. Verifying the UEFI's system stability is also recommended via a stress test, like Passmark Burn-in Test, OCCT, AIDA64, or a similar stress test.

Users who update from stock to stock settings will generally experience the smoothest transition experience.

Will a UEFI update improve my overclocking experience?

A UEFI update can improve multiple aspects of the OC experience, whether extending frequencies or stabilizing them, improving general system stability, or adding new options relative to overclocking. It is important to note that overclocking has inherent mitigating factors, including silicon variance, which cannot be overcome purely from a UEFI update.

Will a UEFI update change my operating experience? Power consumption, temperatures, etc?

Changes to underlying auto rules and other operating parameters can affect aspects like CPU boosting behaviors. There can also be changes to UEFI BIOS auto rules. A UEFI BIOS update can affect operating temperature, performance scores, power consumption, etc. Comparisons should be made at like-to-like values, ideally meaning the same settings, applications, etc. It is also recommended this occur at F5 defaults.

Sometimes, you may need to reinstall the OS after a UEFI BIOS update to gauge its stability correctly. This means that the end operating experience should be first verified with default operating values (F5) and, ideally, a fresh installation of chipset drivers, an updated build of Windows, and a non-modified Windows power profile.

What if the UEFI BIOS listed is a BETA? Should I update?

BETA UEFI releases are for enthusiasts who want access to the latest features, functions, microcode enhancements, and overall UEFI improvements. They are not recommended for day-to-day/long-term use. Users who plan to use their system in this capacity and want to ensure the best interoperability/compatibility, stability, and performance should wait for a formal release.

Not every user should update/flash their UEFI BIOS. Again, if you are running without issue(s), you are advised to stay on the release you are running.

Notes to consider -

* When flashing, please perform the update process at UEFI BIOS defaults. Do NOT flash with an overclocked system/profile.

Your warranty is still applicable under the use of a UEFI BIOS update.

1. I recommend updating the UEFI BIOS on your motherboard for new PC builds. This helps to ensure the best interoperability, compatibility, and performance. If you are building a PC and have not installed the OS, I recommend updating the UEFI.
2. Remember that flashing/updating the UEFI will reset all defined parameters/settings and operating profiles. You cannot restore defined values using a UEFI Profile, as profiles are not interoperable between builds. You should note or screenshot (F12) your values before flashing if they are complex. Upon completing a flash, I recommend you load UEFI defaults after the fact, perform a reboot, and shut down before reloading or entering any customized UEFI values.
3. When you update the UEFI and reload UEFI defaults depending on your defined initial BOOT values, you may need to adjust CSM settings, enabling or disabling CSM. If you experience BOOT-related issues after an update, please change the CSM accordingly.
4. Be advised that in some cases, a rollback to a prior UEFI is not possible. This can occur when an update includes a CPU microcode ( such as an AMD AEGSA or Intel ME ). This means you may be unable to "flashback" to a prior release.
5. While not always necessary, some UEFI updates may require clearing the CMOS to reset the UEFI and ensure normal functionality. You may need to CLR the CMOS to have the system POST after you flash. You can clear the CMOS via the CLR CMOS button if your motherboard supports it or by removing the onboard CMOS battery for at least a few minutes. You can also attempt to locate the CLR CMOS jumper on the motherboard and short the pins to clear the CMOS.
6. Some updates will cause PCIe remapping and reinitialization of onboard controllers/devices. In these cases, you may need to reinstall drivers including your chipset drivers, graphics drivers or other PCIe or USB linked based devices.

It is also recommended you back up your system before any flash/update. Ideally, it would be best to load UEFI BIOS defaults (F5) before performing a flash/update; do not flash with an overclocked configuration.

Ensure you reboot before flashing once you have loaded (F5 defaults).

just go for it if you have hotspot issues, this thing is incredible, i'm never goying beyond 90°C hotspot even under heavy load 400W

I was having all sorts of trouble with AMD software's performance overlay and record function.

It just didn't want to work sometimes.

Turns out, I tried uninstalling Apple Music after seeing other users report issues with Spotify and/or DRM content and that worked.

My post might not be necessary, but if I had one when I was actually having the issue I would've been sooo grateful.

Good luck to y'all.

I’d like to upgrade to WiFi 7, and prefer the intel WiFi cards. Does anyone know if the BE200 module works now that WiFi 7 is fully supported on Windows 24H2?
