It appears you're already beyond the safe zone regarding ASRock's stance on BIOS updates. Official support for your CPU is limited to BIOS version 3.90. The claim about being locked into a later revision isn't verified, and it seems updating BIOS or reinstalling Windows 11 is now necessary. Your registry adjustments likely came from the Windows 11 installer itself.
It seems the BIOS info has shifted to a non-recommended status unexpectedly. This wasn't the case before. Seeing the change caused me to pause and doubt updating, even after reinstalling W11. On W10 I updated via regular registry changes, but with the USB image I followed the Windows 11 setup. I'm thinking about looking for a budget-friendly CPU that works with my motherboard. I think the machine isn't meant to end up as e-waste.
Gaming appears normal, but PC performance drops under load. It might stem from scheduling or power problems—Windows may not set the CPU clock correctly. What’s your current power configuration in Windows? Are all updates applied? When you boot into Safe Mode does the issue persist? Your problems seem unrelated to TPM needs, since I can access W11 in my VM without meeting TPM criteria and still get normal results. It could be a BIOS issue affecting the interaction between BIOS and Windows, though that’s a last step I’d consider.
I currently have the high-performance version; I'm unsure of the appropriate English term for it. I want to test it over a long time. It works fine as long as I don't open more than one browser tab at once. It doesn't happen when I deliberately launch many apps or processes. I'm concerned it might reach BIOS limitations with my CPU.
Hey there! I’m back with my PC again. After downgrading to Windows 10 a while ago, I recently reinstalled it, but nothing changed much. It’s been a while, and I’ve experimented with various drivers, CPU overclocking, and other tweaks without any noticeable improvement. For tasks like word processing or spreadsheets, I still use an older laptop because my main focus is gaming, which runs smoothly. I also enjoy 3D printing, but using software like Fusion360 or OrcaSlicer is frustrating—browsing the web feels slow, and even opening Chrome takes a while. I’m not sure if upgrading the CPU would help or if there’s an issue with my motherboard. Right now, I’m trying to install Windows 11 again, but it’s similar to what I’ve faced before. I’m hoping someone here can offer some advice. Thanks for your help!
