Check for BIOS updates or downgrades for the Asus TUF FX504GM.
I understand your concern about the BIOS update affecting your processor performance. You’re wondering if an older BIOS version is available that doesn’t have this issue. To proceed safely, you’ll need to follow these steps:
1. **Check your current BIOS version** – Use the manufacturer’s website or a BIOS updater tool to see what version you have installed.
2. **Search for compatible older BIOS releases** – Look for versions of Intel BIOS that are known to work with your CPU model (i7-8750H). Common older versions include BIOS 6.1, 6.2, or earlier.
3. **Download the appropriate BIOS file** – Obtain the correct version from a trusted source (official Intel site or reputable tech forums).
4. **Backup your current settings** – Before making any changes, save your current BIOS configuration.
5. **Install the older BIOS** – Follow the installation instructions carefully, ensuring you match the hardware requirements.
6. **Test performance** – After updating, monitor temperatures and stability to confirm improvements.
If you’re not very familiar with this process, consider reaching out to a tech support forum or a knowledgeable friend who can guide you through each step.
If you locate an older BIOS guide, it seems you just need to use an AFUDOS flasher. You might have some tutorials online demonstrating how to update BIOS via AFUDOS. You'll also need a free OS, which can be installed on a USB drive using software like Rufus.
I believe an older BIOS version exists, but I’m unsure how to set it up or whether it supports a downgrade.
Consider using BIOS flashing via EZFlash within the BIOS settings. Prepare a USB flash drive formatted with FAT32, insert the BIOS file onto it. Power off the computer, keep the drive inside the PC, then restart. Activate BIOS, navigate to advanced options, select EZflash, and follow the instructions.

I own the identical laptop with the same problem. -- Accessing the BIOS below BIOS VERSION 310 is available. Asus has deleted all prior BIOS files from their site. Anyone know a BIOS file for version 308 or lower? TUF FX504GM
On desktop boards, the motherboard disk comes with the Asus board includes a recovery BIOS (factory shipped). You upload it from a DVD reader. All other drives are removed and the system resets to defaults. The unclear part is whether Asus includes a recovery BIOS in the driver disk for laptops. Try inserting the disk into the reader, selecting it in BIOS, and uploading from the disk. Choose the BIOS recovery option. Good luck!
I'm having trouble because the cooling isn't working properly. My laptop was repaired recently, but it keeps throttling even with a simple cooler. The design seems really poor, and Asus doesn't seem to care about fixing it.
