And see if my +0.170 offset(1.200V Vcore) at 5GHz still stays stable.

Same with COde X. Already up-to-date on ME firmware and microcode on modded 1704 with very stable CPU and memory OC so I think I will skip.

@Geneo at least this time they actually updated the uCode

(I had already updated my ME firmware using MoKiChU's tool but it was included this time too according to ME analyzer)

I have been running 8086k with B4h ucode for some time with modded BIOS. It is a good microcode. Well at least Asus did finally catch-up.

It worked well for me.
So far.
I ran all three versions of Cinebench and a few back to back runs of Blender Classroom, to test.
No software crashes or BSODs, and being low voltage, less amps. means even in 31°C ambient temps, the CPU was about 71° average, with 81° spikes in a couple cores.(9900K @ 8 cores).

Suggest you run RAM test, stressapptext and Memtest. My experience is that, with latter versions of the BIOS, Asus have tweaked memory timings for better performancen that left my memory OC unstable.
