Check the support page for your board. I am testing it now on my Rog Dark Hero.

This BIOS is being released with the Intel 0x12B microcode which has an additional patch for what Intel are now calling the "Vmin shift" issue - AKA too much voltage bug.

The Asus ROG Forum has a list with links to download these new beta bios for Asus Z790 motherboards.

I've got a ProArt Z790 but will wait for the final release version of the appropriate bios before I install it.

The option to disable C1E in the BIOS has been removed. I'm not installing that. That's what happens with an Intel processor issue. :unsure:

Don't you have a 12th gen? You don't need it.
