    Thanks Pinktulip , my bad! it works now, because after flashing bios, load default then I load saved OC profile from usb that wasn't saved with TB anable , now I saved it
    I think this new bios still wont support 2x M2 2280 in raid 0 with intel VROC for current M2 such as SS 960, 970 pro model...will it ?!

    I have a problem with the last 2 bios as it logs me out Origins and steam after a reboot. The 1.08 bios didn't have this problem. I have to keep on logging back into these program on every reboot.

    why do you have them auto launch on boot?
     
    The only thing I have start up on boot is the core stuff for the OS. Discord, Steam and Origin all get launched as needed. As fast as these systems are they start those programs fast enough. Also best to minimize what is running in the background when playing. Do you really want Origin to start updating your BF game while your playing GTA??

    Even if they didn't auto-login Origins does it all of the time regardless. I like to have them auto-boot as I have been for years. Everybody is different. Like I said it didn't do it with the 1.08 bios period.

    The Origin Web Helper Service is default set to auto, I changed mine in services to manual.
     
    It is weird that the bios update affected it. If you are up to it maybe try reinstalling Origin on the new bios to see if it functions like it did before or is still broken

    There is no possible way this has to do with the BIOS. you're having a OS/Client issue.

    I just finished installing the x299 micro. I went from bios 1.10 to 1.17, was I suppose to do any other in between?  Also what is this new bios page, how does this work? Looks nice....

    Hi,
    somewhere in the EVGA web site I found BIOS version 1.13 for Dark MB but it is not listed in official BIOS announcements.
    Is it a beta or only so new that it was not updated in every part of the site?
    Thanks and bye.

    I am not seeing one.
    1.13 for two other X299 MB but not the Dark.

    During the WE I installed that 1.13 BIOS for the Dark and it works, unless it is very unstable on memory frequencies above 3200 MHz.
     
    Coming from an Asus Rampage VI MB, is it normal that a i7-7800X is showing error on new Linpack 1.1.1 stress test, even loading default BIOS setup?
