"1.Enhanced system performance, stability and allowed the C1E power state to be disabled.

"1.Updated with Intel microcode 0x12B to address elevated voltage requests during idle or light activity, further mitigating Vmin Shift instability issues.
2.The option to disable C1E in the BIOS has been removed to ensure it remains enabled, reducing processor stress and maintaining stability per Intel's recommendation.

Updating this BIOS will simultaneously update the corresponding intel ME to version 16.1.32.2473. Please note after you update this BIOS, the ME version remains the updated one even if you roll back to an older BIOS later.

"The new BIOS includes Intel microcode 0x129 and adjusts the factory default settings for the non-K processors, enhancing the stability of Intel Core 13th and 14th gen desktop processors.

Updated with microcode 0x125 to ensure eTVB operates within Intel specifications

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.

"The update introduces the Intel Baseline Profile option, allowing users to revert to Intel factory default settings for basic functionality, lower power limits, and improving stability in certain games.

1.Improved DDR5 compatibility
2.Further optimized CEP settings when disabled

Update the Intel microcode to version 0x123, allowing for disabling CEP for improved performance on Intel 14th Gen non-K series processors*
 Disabling CEP for performance enhancement may lead to increased power consumption and temperature. Ensure adequate CPU cooling or use a higher-spec cooling solution.
*Intel CEP function varies by the CPU model. Check your CPU's specifications or reach out to its technical support for more information.

1. Improve system stability
2. Update ME to version 16.1.30.2307
3. This update includes the patch for the LogoFAIL vulnerabilities
4. Add PCIe Bifurcation options for GPU with M.2 storage

1. Update Microcode for next-gen Intel Processors
2. Update ME to version 16.1.30.2264 for next-gen Intel Processors
3. Improve system stability

Updating this BIOS will simultaneously update the corresponding intel ME to version 16.1.30.2264. Please note after you update this BIOS, the ME version remains the updated one even if you roll back to an older BIOS later."
