EVGA has just made available a new BIOS package developed for its X79 FTW motherboard, namely version 2.01, which adds support for Ivy Bridge-E processors and applies a new GUI BIOS interface.

In addition to that, version 2.01 also includes various improvements and compatibility updates that will raise the device’s overall performance and stability.

So, if this release provides changes that satisfy your needs, then consider upgrading the board’s BIOS to the latest version. It’s not recommended to install a newer BIOS if it doesn’t resolve any of your current problems.

In order to apply the new release, get the downloadable archive, extract its content, and close all open programs or any other process that might interfere with the update.

Now run the “Windows_Update.bat” file, press any key to continue, select “Yes” at the User Account Control message, and press “Y” to initiate the flash process. At this point, the installation starts, so make sure you don’t interfere with it. Doing so could crash the update and render the board unstable.

When the BIOS upgrade finishes, the system will automatically power off. Turn on the computer to check the currently installed BIOS in order to ensure that the process was successful.

That being said, follow the link below, click on the “Download” button, get the 2.01 BIOS, and apply it on your EVGA motherboard.
