Im now on v.7.30 beta bios but v.7.20 is the most recesnt version and wondered if 7.20 is the version I should use or remain on v.7.30 beta. I updated to v.7.20 a few min. ago and I dont see any changes whatsoever. I am enthusiast and overclock my CPU so ....... WHICH VERSION SHOULD I USE ? ? ? PLEASE ANSWER 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.

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?
