The GIGABYTE BETA BIOS for Z790/B760 motherboards with Intel’s Baseline Profile are now available to download for optimal stability. The Intel Baseline Profile first appeared recently when ASUS released its own BIOS update. These BIOS updates aim to address CPU instability issues reported by users while gaming with Intel’s 13th and 14th gen core processors. The new profile locks in motherboard settings to Intel factory defaults. GIGABYTE has said that enabling the baseline profile will disable its PerfDrive settings which provides “premier” performance for its motherboards.

Superior Stability by GIGABYTE BETA BIOS with Intel Baseline on Z790/B760 Motherboards
April 26th, 2024 –GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, released the latest beta BIOS with Intel Baseline feature on Z790, B760 series motherboards for enhanced stability, regarding the feedback from Intel that high power consumption settings may cause system instability with 13/14th generation CPUs.
GIGABYTE always prioritizes user experience, focusing on both performance and stability. Additionally, as a close ally of Intel, we promptly introduced the Intel Baseline feature with the latest beta BIOS. When using 13th and 14th generation K-SKU CPUs, the Intel Baseline setting will appear in the “Turbo Power Limits” option under “Advanced CPU Settings”. After enabling Intel Baseline, the performance will be expected to be limited due to the power setting adjustments.
If users aim for enhanced and optimized performance, we also provide the GIGABYTE PerfDrive feature tailored for each GIGABYTE motherboard to allow users enjoy premier system performance. Please note that when enabling Intel Baseline, the PerfDrive settings will revert to default and be grayed out due to option linkage.
The beta BIOS with Intel Baseline feature for Z790 and B760 motherboards is available now. Please visit GIGABYTE official site to download for the best user experience and stability.
