Today, two days before New Year's Eve, ASRock has provided several of its Intel Z97 and H97 board users with fresh BIOS updates, so that their devices can also pass into 2015 improved and more stable.

To be more specific about the targeted devices, ASRock has outed BIOS 1.20, 1.30, and 1.80 for its Z97M-ITX/ac, Z97 Anniversary, and Z97M OC Formula devices, respectively.

In addition to that, BIOS 1.40 for Fatal1ty Z97M Killer, Z97 Extreme3, and Z97M Anniversary boards, as well as BIOS 1.50 compatible with ASRock’s Z97 Extreme4, Z97 Pro3, and Z97E-ITX/ac products, has also been released.

When it comes to Intel H97 chipset-based devices, the producer has improved its H97 Anniversary, H97M Anniversary, and H97M motherboards with BIOS 1.20, 1.40, and 1.60, respectively, as well as H97 Pro4 and H97M-ITX/ac device through BIOS 1.50.

As for changes, all aforementioned products benefit from updated Linux GUID table, VBIOS, ME, and Microcode, adjusted shared memory setting, as well as from NVME support.

Moreover, Z97 boards get their Pentium Anniversary G3258 EZ-OC table improved, as well as the i5-4690K table updated (except Fatal1ty Z97M Killer). Also, Z97M OC Formula alone receives enhanced overclocking compatibility.

Now, if you intend to apply these packages, you should know that a newer BIOS version is to be applied only when it specifically resolved an issue your boards has been encountering, or implements a change that you can really make use of. However, you can update it at your own choice.
