How to install Windows 11 on unsupported CPU and TPM 1.2
ASUS is testing a BIOS (UEFI) update for its Z290 motherboards to fix stability issues with 13th and 14th generation Intel Core processors (Raptor Lake). The new microcode version 129 is not intended to fix processors that have already been affected by exposure to increased voltages. Instead, this update is intended to help prevent damage to the chips that are still in good condition.
In recent months, Intel's 13th and 14th generation processors have been experiencing stability issues, mainly due to increased operating voltage due to a microcode algorithm bug. This led to system crashes and even potential chip failures. Intel has acknowledged the issue and promised to fix it with a microcode patch in mid-August. Now, ASuS is one of the first companies to release new microcode to address the concerns.
MSI has also announced that it is releasing a BIOS (UEFI) update for Intel 600 and 700 series motherboards with a 0x129 microcode update that aims to reduce the instability of the above-mentioned processors.
