Hi Community! I was trying to update my z370 Taichi mobo and I got the following message - Warning! Rom file information does not match system bios! I have tried updating from Windows and from BIOS using instant flash but I get the same message and BIOS wont update. Tried the search and could not find the solution. Can someone help with that? P.S. I have downloaded BIOS from official site below z370 Taichi specs |

I was trying to upgrade to version 3.30 from here - https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z370%20Taichi/index.ru.asp#BIOS I even tried online update through ASRock App shop and I got the same warning message. There are a number of files when I downloaded BIOS, the one which has exe extension called ASROM.exe. Not sure if that's the name of BIOS |

Z370 Taichi(3.30)ROM.zip is the file you are trying to find https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20Taichi/index.asp?cat=Manual is the page containing the files you need ------------- Asrock Z370 Gaming K6,Intel i7 8700K, Asrock x570 Taichi |

Yep, I have used the file Z370 Taichi(3.30)ROM.zip from the link above and I had the error which I have described in my first post. Any ASRock representative on this forum? |

I don't mean to be insulting, but you did unzip it right? Then copy the unzipped file to a USB drive formatted as FAT32 and then plug in the drive and reboot pressing F6. https://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSIG.asp?cat=BIOS8 ------------- Len |

Sure I unzip it and did everything which you described above. It does not work, keeps saying that the size of ROM is different. |

I have tried everything it just does not work! Ridiculous! This is an official BIOS and it was released for Z370 Taichi and it MUST work without any issues. I'm really dissatisfied with the support that ASRock provide to their customers. No single response from the customer support on an official forum. This is my first and last product from ASRock. |

| Similar problem. When updating the BIOS, the installation is interrupted with the error " WARNING !! ROM file information does not match system BIOS". How to solve this problem? Wait for the developers to fix the error? Developers reading this forum? |

Same problem here. Just downloaded from APP SHOP and it is telling me that "ROM file information does not match system BIOS", followed by a freakish "Want to continue...?" question. Anyone from AsRock reading these? Can you at least acknowledge the problem if not provide a fix quickly? |

| Thanks Xaltar, just in case this helps, I'm using AsRock Z270 Killer SLI/AC motherboard. APP SHOP says that my current BIOS version is 1.0 and the one it downloads is 3.3. Interestingly, if I go to the [URL=https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z270%20Killer%20SLIac/index.asp#BIOS]official page[/URL] of Z270 Killer, the latest BIOS version listed there is 2.3. This gives me an indication that APP SHOP is most probably not detecting my motherboard correctly (or else the official page is outdated). |

OK, so I have reached out to my contacts at ASRock and they have gotten back to me about this issue. They apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and say that you can go ahead and press "Y" to continue the update. In essence, you can ignore the message. They also assured me that the issue will be resolved in the next update which should be along soon. So if you are uncomfortable ignoring a warning you can just wait for the next update. In addition, I would also like to address the fact that this forum is not a Tech Support channel, it is a community forum for ASRock users. Yes, it is owned by ASRock and yes, ASRock's Tech Support department do post here quite frequently but they do not read and reply every thread and post. If you are seeking direct support you need to use the ASRock Support page: https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp These forums exist so users can help each other out and I do my best to help users wherever possible, be it using my own experience or passing things along to my contacts at ASRock. These forums are a valuable resource to allow users to post their experiences with ASRock products and for ASRock to learn what their users want out of their products. -------------

Also get "ROM file information does not match system BIOS" on my z370 Extreme4, version 3.1 to 3.3. When I read "do you want to continue?" my mind says "do you want to potentially brick your PC?" I'm not a gambling man. Hopefully they get around to fixing this and there should never be a continue option in release builds, if validation fails it fails, it's poor programming practice. |

| Just a minor correction. I incorrectly posted above that I had Z270 motherboard. I actually have Z370 Killer SLI/AC. Not sure how it affect other things that I mentioned there. Anyway, I do get the error msg and "want to continue?..." question. |

I have got not so much lucky. I filled the form for technical support for the same issue and they don't answer nothing. |

I had the same problem with my Z370 TiaChi motherboard i.e. "Warning: ROM File does not match system BIOS". I ignored the warning and selected the 'Yes' option, but no luck with upgrading the BIOS. I found that if I used UEFI at boot time and selected the Utilities > Internet Flash utility, the update proceeded and was successful. For reference there is a video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAx5ifXNjR0 |
