Downloaded the new bios a few days ago and so far they are a lot better. Theres a lot more options to tweak (the bios looked a bit sparse before) and so far iv been able to get into them every time. There's still some random freezing but i find if i leave it a few minutes it fixes itself every time. On the old bios sometimes it would unfreeze and sometimes it wouldnt and require a hard reset. Hopefuly with future bios updates they will fix it fully.

They could also allow non k users to select the multiplier used for the cpu. On an older i3-3000 series cpu with an ASrock board i was able to underclock the cpu by specifying a lower multiplier. With there new top of the range board and latest cpu's i cant. Its probably Intel being ***** but if they can get around it so i can use a lower multiplier than my x37 that would be great Smile

It looks like a lot of motherboards including H series, B series and the lower down Z series have already gotten bios upgrades. Its just weird that ASock's top of the line and most expensive motherboards dont.

Thanks




The UEFI update for Kaby Lake is there now, dated 11/17/16. We won't be seeing Kaby Lake processors until 2017, so really no hurry for that UEFI update.

Any of the ASRock, Intel 100 series chipset boards that have a 7.xx UEFI version are Kaby Lake compatible.
