Hi guys,

Just wanted to report the bios version 2.1 and 2.0 is slightly broken. It wont execute the Secure Backup UEFI (A-B) correctly.
 

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Gaming%20K6+/index.us.asp?cat=Download&os=BIOS


I had to downgrade to bios version 1.8 and it is now working as it should.

Would this issue be addressed on the next bios release??

Thank you

Also the fantastic feature is broken, the UEFI hangs when I click on it.

But this happens even in 1.80 and 2.00 version.

This is the first time we've heard of these problems with those UEFI/BIOS versions. The 2.00 UEFI has been available for over a month, but I guess no owners have used the UEFI backup feature.

You're also saying the FANtastic Tuning feature in the UEFI causes it to freeze?

Yeah I have been busy testing other firmware stuff(mainly routers).

The Secure Backup UEFI could be better on bios version 1.8, but atleast I can get it to work from a complete power shutdown from the wall. It kinda struggles doing it on a normal reboot.

But on bios version 2.0 and 2.1,  it just doesn't want to do it at all.

I never thought of providing feedback as I assumed there would of been others that would of done so. I guess I was wrong there.

From now on I will provide a proper feedback on future bios  releases.

Thank you

I just want to say my thanks to the Asrock Support & Development Team for fixing this issue on the latest bios firmware 2.6.

I am really impressed with the quick fix. Thank you guys. I will only buy Asrock Motherboards from now on. Big smile

Thank you

Thanks to you as well, for bringing these obviously real issues to ASRock's attention, in a way that was not condescending and unnecessarily critical. Thumbs Up
