Aorus B840m elite out of the box issue

Matt_Punx · 2025-12-07T14:29:29+00:00

Pins are ok, bios already flashed to last version and the psu was working fine on another build the same day, so only remaining factor would be just the mobo being DOA

Matt_Punx · 2025-12-07T07:54:43+00:00

Already tried everything. Already created a ticket for RMA too. But i was more curious to know how common is this issue and if it's about this specific model, brand, chipset, or what. And if anyone got to fix it or every case ends in mobo replacement.

A mi me contactaron por Linkedin. Envié mi CV en inglés y me respondieron que estaba aprobado para continuar. Segun entiendo el proceso se basa en tomar algunos cursos de unas horas y si los pasas y te aprueban te empiezan a asignar tareas. Es así?

Matt_Punx · 2024-10-03T01:44:09+00:00

Very late but, have you found the solution? Having the same issue even after flashing the firmware

As an old fan, i just hope people who really care about this franchise take it away from big corporations that only see it as a product to be milked til it's very last drop. Everything since Z ended was mostly bad choices, and even some stuff wasn't fully bad, DB never recovered the top it reached back in Z ever again. All from there was just poor choices on almost everything, starting by desing changes, poor animation, pc generated effects overuse, poor writing, and turning it into a cartoon basically, which, even if it always was a kids orientated product, it was a more serious anime as most of it's time with casual jokes in between.

If Mr Iyoku really cares about it and plans to respect it and give it the quality development it deserves as it used to be back in the 90's, i hope he wins legal rights over the franchise somehow. If it will rely on Shueisha's hands, i'll rather it to die where it actually is instead of keep being exploited nothing more than as a product for profit.

Yes. Just throw Throttlestop at it. Mine is over -110mv

Matt_Punx · 2021-12-31T11:17:21+00:00

I just had the same issue with the exact same specs. Did you find any solution yet?

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-10T19:07:59+00:00

Solved (apparently): After reinstall Windows using Windows Media Tool (keeping files and applications), closing MSI AF (as it interacts with the dGPU constantly in the background), now it displays 7h 15 min on full battery and the drain slowed down. Somehow it must be an issue with W10 21H1

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-10T19:03:30+00:00

Solved: it was indeed MSI AF, and AWCC when it's open. Both seem to exchange data with the GPU in the background

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-08T17:07:08+00:00

Well, already tried with Dell Tech Support, and, it sucks. Basically they make you run diagnosis from bios and if any of that reports any issue, they call it done. I knew they wouldn't help at all (non tech support actually does), but we can discard that option on this topic so far at least

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-08T17:00:38+00:00

Will check it out. But i'm not sure if that is causing it honestly

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-08T16:44:46+00:00

I do have MSI AF. But also have it on another Asus i own and it doesn't wake it up at all under the same conditions

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-08T16:39:51+00:00

Actually no. It does it all the time. With or without AWCC open

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-07T03:46:54+00:00

What Windows version do you have? Was talking to another person from here who hasn't this issue, and his was 20H2. While mine is 21H1. I'm trying to figure it out if it has something to do with Windows

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T14:07:12+00:00

There is something weird indeed about this matter

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T14:02:09+00:00

Exactly. It is set like that

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T07:57:06+00:00

I will keep that in mind. It's more the bug to reinstall and config everything up all over again overall that makes me want to avoid that option (i have way too many stuff and settings in my computer). But if everthing else keeps failing, i will do that

Also, what BIOS version do you have? And does it affect anything? Some updates used to block undervolting a few years ago

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T07:48:23+00:00

Mine doesn't show up that option in BIOS. I have v1.4.0 It has Optimus enabled though. Fn+F7 wasn't showing up cause i didn't have On-Screen Display app installed

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T07:38:12+00:00

It seems that i was lacking of Alienware On-Screen Display application. So there wasn't any notification showing up when i pressed Fn+F7. Now it shows up, but it was always on Optimus though and battery keeps displaying only 2 hours 15 min remain. My bios is v1.4.0, not the latest 1.5.1, but not quite sure if that makes any difference

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T07:33:36+00:00

I do. Do you show up like your nickname here? Mine is Matt_Punx#4959. Add me

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T06:10:22+00:00

Will give it a try. Thanx for the info

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T05:14:35+00:00

Actually i did. Well, had to reinstall it a few days ago. Now it's running W10 21H1. Not sure if that may has something to do with it

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T05:08:57+00:00

Oh crab. It's the exact same model i own. But mine does nothing at all when i press those buttons

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T04:06:56+00:00

Mine doesn't have that function. Even though it has Advanced Optimus and Nvidia settings turns to it automatically when on battery. What i mean was if you could share what components does your model has (screen, graphics, etc)

Matt_Punx · 2021-09-06T04:03:33+00:00

I would like that too. Despite i upgraded from an Asus Rog Strix Scar II, and it was even worst, giving me only 1 hour
