Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
btw +5vsb is not a thing on a modern platforms the only thing its used for is usb everything is 3.3v or 12v now
5Vsb is required by the ATX spec from the power supply.

The ATX specification requires the power supply to produce three main outputs, +3.3 V, +5 V and +12 V. Low-power −12 V and +5 VSB (standby) supplies are also required.

However, this doesnt mean a motherboard needs to use it/feed power to the usb ports, etc. What each motherboard does with it is up to the discretion of the board/AIB. Back in the day (like pre 2010), I recall jumpers on some boards enabling or disabling it.

Edit: I'm not going to split hairs on the word 'normal'... this is simply something that happens with enough frequency that the behavior can be considered normal (for many boards across AIBs and generations - not all). I dont recall specifically if it is Asus ROG High-end boards or what. But, memory training on some boards is normal (and can be annoying). It s happening on my omega across several bios updates and 2 different psus, OSs, stock v. overclocked, etc and I recall this happening on dozens of motherboard reviews over the years.

Ummm, not really. "Wake on Mouse", "Wake on Keyboard", "Wake on LAN", as examples, are all standard options set in the BIOS. The +5Vsb supplying power to the USB ports and network controller enable those functions. If not present, we could not wiggle the mouse, press a key, or log in remotely to wake our computers. And again, DDR4 RAM keeps data alive in memory when in standby with that voltage. When the PSU is in standby, it is only outputting that +5V. It is not outputting 3.3 or 12V.

I'm going to say 99% it's normal, However it could be COULD be the battery. But that is only a .9% chance.
It may not have power enough to keep the settings but still run the clock and date. Maybe?

You could always try another BIOS or maybe see if there is anything in AI Tweaker to disable memory training and see if that is the issue (not sure its possible, just an idea?!??!).

You seem to be confusing required presence with required use. Again, it is only a requirement the psu provides these voltages. What a motherboard does or does not do with it is a choice. The features you mentioned can be disabled and would of course prevent users who let their pc sleep (most?) wake on those functions.

Anyway, on topic, I agree with smeeky...OP see if you have an option in the bios which may change that behavior. Not sure where it would be if it is there.

:( If the motherboard maker wants the board to be called ATX compliant and meet industry standards, they need to allow those feature, and thus the "standard" distribution of that voltages since, again, according to the ATX Form Factor standard, it is delivered to the motherboard via the ATX standard 20/24 pin power connector. The fact those features can be disabled by the user is irrelevant to this discussion. The voltage is still present.

My z87 does this. I've seen this for years. Heck, majority of dell machines do this. I work on them daily

Right. It is defined as a requirement for the power supply to provide and mobo to accept. I quoted the passage earlier stating as much. It is wiki, so if you have something a bit more respectable showing this is required on the motherboard side to function, post it up. :)

What a motherboard does with, is up to the board (but clearly has a purpose).

Edit: The 24-pin and 20-pin connectors on the mobo have them of course, but if it wasnt there, the pc would still function but could not WoL/Network/Mouse and case power button... nothing much :p . So, yes...its a standard, but how the motherboard uses it, or not, is up to the board/aib.

Edit2: And then there are these here already w/o 5Vsb (vrm feeds it as needed)- https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...-named-atx12vo-debuts-later-this-year.263213/

...a different standard, indeed.

It's good, EarthDog had it right from the start.

Normal operation, my Hero does the exact same thing.

Man come to think of it I guess I have seen this a few times over the years...and just dismissed it as a oddity and moved on. Now I know!!!

I believe there has been enough input on whether it is or not a thing.
Let's move on.
If you have a solution to the OP question... present it and let's see if he wishes to try it.

Thank You and Have a Good Day

Obviously all the big brain brads did NOT know more.

It is NOT normal.

Asus said it is NOT normal.

Pulled the CMOS battery and the problem was fixed. If it were the norm it would not require a fix.
