Hello, I've been running on 1.07 pretty much since I got the mobo in 2019.
 
I have a i9-9900k, and I was running it at 4.9 GHz, with memory at 3800. After updating to 1.10 to get the most out of my new EVGA 3080 I am no longer able to run my old settings. It will not boot at 4.9 GHz.
 
My question is...does this really matter? Am I really getting any significant benefit from running the CPU with a base speed of 4.9 as opposed to letting it naturally BOOST to whatever speed it really needs? For instance I'm sitting at my desktop with resource monitor open and it says base speed 3.6 GHz but current speed is 4.68Ghz. Should I even mess with it to try and get a stable boot at a base speed of 4.9 or just let it naturally do it's thing when needed?
 
I was able to get the memory to run at 3800 again even though it's rated at 4133. I'm curious if the XMP profile will work now and maybe I should try that out to see if it'll boot as long as I don't mess with the CPU settings.
 
Anyway just thought I'd ask to see what others have tried and if you ran into the same issues. Thanks.

    Updating your bios can definitely mess with your oc settings making you have to redo them. Updating your bios can help with xmp profiles, so definitely give it another go.

    Updated microcode does sometime require different voltage settings to be stable so you'll have to fine tune your overclocks again with the bios update.

    Yeah I messed around with it a bit more last night, couldn't get a stable boot with an OC on the CPU so I left that alone for now.
     
    I tried the XMP profile with the memory that sets it to 4133 and I couldn't get it to boot so I've left it on my old 3800 settings which is still stable with the new bios. I'm actually thinking of getting a 32gig kit to replace this anyway so that'll change and maybe I'll be able to use the XMP profile on the new memory. I'll look for something on the QVL again.
     
    I was able to turn on resizable bar with no issues.
