This might help… if someone knows of a way to switch off EEE on macOS (the feature must be there because the driver in DriverKit comes from Intel, but where's the control?).
I've tested bios versions 0204, 0704 and 0814. All worked. One of the guys said the latest version 0816 has some issues, though I haven't tested myself.
At the my younger brother decided to go with the Z790 TUF Gaming golden build. My problems with the ProArt Z790 are that I couldn't get the Thunderbolt to work.
What OS and what were you connecting to it? TB2 device with adapter? or TB3 device?
Current Maple Ridge NVMs > 31 (I.e., z690 BIOS 2204 and above, and z790) seem to be majorly bugged out. At least on ASUS, I can’t comment on MSI and AsRock.
Do these conditions exist under Windows as well?Current Maple Ridge NVMs > 31 (I.e., z690 BIOS 2204 and above, and z790) seem to be majorly bugged out. At least on ASUS, I can’t comment on MSI and AsRock.
BIOS 2204 on z690 updates Maple Ridge from NVM31 to NVM36. And with NVM36 on z690 and NVM38 on Z790, when XMP is enabled (or if memory speed is set to > 5000 MHz), if a Thunderbolt device is physically connected at warm reboot from the BIOS, or physically connected when the system goes to sleep, the Thunderbolt controller malfunctions, it dies, and is no longer detected anymore. Requiring a reboot.
The workaround seems to be to not enable memory speeds > 5000 MHz. See if you can replicate the issue (memory speeds > 5000 MHz vs memory speeds 5000 MHz or below). If you have a similar observation as me, please let ASUS know.
I let them know but their tech support hasn’t fixed it yet. I’m dealing with people who don’t know what NVM means.
Yes it’s a hardware problem. I sent Asus a video of the problem so it’s in their hands.
