ASUS... Why are you the way that you are?!

Great video Jay! ASUS really needs calling out on this BIOS. SUPER important people do NOT adjust the IccMax amperage upwards from 280A limit IF they've loaded "Intel Baseline Profile" on ASUS' latest BIOS. That profile sets the SVID (loadline) to a setting called "Intel's Fail Safe". This is a misleading ASUS name, as it is neither from Intel, nor safe. "Intel's Fail Safe" SVID can (and this varies by CPU and motherboard model) put up to 1.67v Vcore into a 14900KS! Above 1.5v should only be for short durations. Please always keep ASUS' "SVID" setting at AUTO, unless your CPU is already unstable with all other settings and still needs more loadline to be stable. "AUTO" SVID + 400A/320W/320W results in a safe Vcore and is OK to use.

I won't buy ASUS again due to issues with my current ASUS motherboard and their dodgy warranty support.

Asus "In Search of Incredible" = "In Search of Your Wallets"

im glad to see that even Jay hits the del key nonstop during restart 😂

Thanks, Jay! I have an ASUS board where I recently updated the BIOS due to boot problems. That fixed the boot problems but I didn't even realize these new limit games were added. I have the new settings in place now.

This is absolutely the least of ASUS' problems. Their borderline criminal behavior regarding warranties (see Gamer's Nexus and Louis Rossman's separate videos on the topic) are more than enough for me to realize this is a company that stopped caring about it's customers a LONG time ago, and it's just sad.

Me in my cheap ASSRock motherboard: "Haha, look at these fools."

Nice, TY :) More of this. I would love a complete Asus Bios settings video :)

Been buying EVGA and ASUS the past 20 years. First EVGA ditches Nvidia, and now ASUS going haywire with everything they do. It's sad to see how thing are these days.

If it aint broken, keep making changes until it is.

OMG, that one line at like 00:15 about the sense wires, it makes so much sense now xD I have had that problem on/off for like 6 months, it comes and goes, even without moving the PC, though it was my PSU getting bad, or not handling the load spikes, as that's normally when it happens, on opening or closing games, not while just under 100% static load

Great video, installed the latest version and tought "default should be intel preset", after the installation my system was extremly unstable. Had to install an older version to fix it. Now I installed the new version again and set everything to intel default (that button is so easy to overlook) and my system is as stable as it could be. HW: 12900k, z690 gaming f, 2x32gb 6000mhz corsair dominator (couldn't run stable with asus settings on their newest bios version)

What makes this worse is not everyone is tech savvy and will likely not go into the bios to make these changes and cook their cpu. Intel's settings should be automatically default so that nobody has problems.

Jay, I live about 45 minutes from their headquarters, do you need me to hold a sign that says, "FIX YOUR S**T!"

Hey Jay, you need to do a final update video on this. ASUS just released another BIOS update for my ROG STRIX Z790-E that looks like it fixed everything you mentioned in this video! From Update Notes: 1. Introduce the ""Performance Preferences"" with options for Intel Default Settings (Performance/Extreme) and ASUS Advanced OC Profile. 2. Redefine the factory defaults based on Intel’s new ""Intel Default Settings"" for various CPU SKUs. 3. Change F5 from ""Load Optimized Defaults"" to ""Reset to Defaults"". 4. Add warnings when users switch from the defaults to other settings. Thanks for all the great videos that are informative and entertaining.

I use since day 1 on my 13900k back Jan-2023 @ 5.4mhz PL1 125w/PL2 253w (Undervolted offset -0.50v) and set TjMax 90c getting Cb23= 38237

Hardware unboxed showed where Intel said these boards were in spec in the past and have now changed their tune since it is causing problems for Intel.

I'm so grateful with the platform that you hold and how you hold companies accountable for their actions. Especially love when you call them out on their bullshit. Keep fighting for the working man.

Thank you for making this video! Hearing this I wish I hadn't gone for an ASUS motherboard when I built the latest computer. Core i9 12900. I had SO many issues with the system being "overclocked by default" and all I wanted was to run EVERYTHING stock and within SAFE limits. Building a machine like the one I built is too much money to overclock and mess around with. Had SEVERAL e-mails go back and forth between myself an ASUS before I managed to figure out how to set up the BIOS to run what at least feels like "not overclocked". All I want is for the computer to run reliably for a very long time and not die prematurely because of pushing this or that component too hard.....

Thank you for doing this fixed a few problems for me! Truly appreciate it
