Bump to get Nikos attention

Niko, please don't double post/dump in other Users Threads.

There are certain times when a BIOS, BETA or Production, will necessitate wiping a BIOS clean. It has been this way for decades and should come as no surprise to Users that chase BIOS updates just for the sake of hoping for a magical one.


It says right there on their respective download page!. 7.30 "Improve HDMI Audio compatibility." and 7.20 "1.Update Intel Microcode.
2.Update Intel ME."

So.... I take it you don't spend the time tuning your own systems OC so much as just simply selecting an OC Profile from drop-down menu's?

WHICH VERSION SHOULD I USE ? ? ? PLEASE ANSWER


Use the 7.20 version. The microcode and ME firmware update may not be in the 7.30 version, but any good updates in 7.30 will also be in 7.20, since it's date is newer.

There is far more to a UEFI/BIOS update than what we can see. Most of the important parts of the UEFI/BIOS are the things we cannot see.

Many UEFI updates can mean different things. Do more updates mean something is better? Fewer updates, as in fewer for an SSD's firmware for example, is a good sign things were done right from the start.

Short answer: The one that gives you the best results



Long answer: The one that gives you the best results

I wanted to know what are the differencies between the two versions.There is no info on the site.I expected pre-defined overclock settings, ivx adjustment and a few other features which are in z270's. The other thing is the update reset all my overclock settings i've saved including those on the hard disk.
