I assume that since there can be no iGPU enabled, the Quick Sync feature is gone and more importantly, so is hardware accelerated video encoding in Adobe Premiere?
Adobe does not use discrete graphics for encoding, except for certain effects.
 
Are there any differences configuring the EFI when using an Asus Z690 board?
No significant difference that we know of…
The "generic" EFIs in this thread originated when it was noticed that early Z690 boards share a common ACPI code base. So far these EFIs have been used to boot boards from Gigabyte, Asus, AsRock and MSI.
 
How? Without CpuTopologySync?

Hello world!

With the start of my holiday break I finally had the time to join the Alder Lake troupe.

I used @CaseySJ's experimental 0.7.7 EFI with support for P+E+HT, and running a ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4, 12900K, 64Gb Corsair 3600Mhz C18, 6900 XT and after reading the advice here, a new 2tb WD SN850

And because it felt like a fun challenge if I'm going experimental anyhow, I also figured it would be a great time to try my hand at building my first custom water cooling loop. Fortunately the magic smoke has not escaped the components and everything works great

The boot time with this setup is amazing compared to my previous build, and my gosh is everything snappy

Scores below are with Asus's auto-overclocking tool, I'll try my hand at manually tweaking that later. For now I'm just enjoying going "ohhh ahhh" at everything I'm running on this
