What is the exactly purpose of the 7.00 bios on Z170 Extreme motherboards. It says "Update Intel Microcode". It's not for 7th GEN Kaby Lake compatibility, because I see that there is a beta 7.10 BIOS doing that. |

7.00 does indeed address Kaby Lake compatibility. Nothing more. |

Exactly that. The Beta also adds support, possibly a more recent microcode update than 7.0. I like that ASRock has been changing the version number for CPU support significantly, the jump from 2.x to 7.x makes it clear that it is a generational support update that is or is not needed depending on if you plan to upgrade your CPU. -------------
