It seems that a new bios was uploaded today (10/08/2016) but its version number 3.30 is smaller than the previous one which is 3.40.
Also it appears lower on the download page (since it is sorted by version number instead of date), which is counter-intuitive, especially for non-technical people.

Will you be bumping the version to 3.50 or should we update to 3.30 regardless? 

Also for people on 3.40, is it any risk to "downgrade" (from the system's perspective anyway) to 3.30 ?

Thanks.

Are you experiencing issues ?

Inside the downloadable archives, BIOS 3.40 carries a July 20 2016 date. BIOS 3.30 carries a June 21 2016 date.


Thank you for posting this. I will notify the Webmaster and have it corrected ASAP.

Haven't updated just yet, as a matter of fact I'm still on 3.20 .

Peculiar that 3.30 was not uploaded since today, but since 3.40 is newer (and not just the number version), will update to that instead.

Again Mazi, thank you for bringing that slip up that to our attention.
