The new release improves Auto CPU C-State Control

Today, EVGA’s Intel X99 chipset-based motherboards get updated with a new BIOS package, namely version 1.12, which improves Auto CPU C-State Control for the supported Classified, FTW, and Micro X99 device models.

In addition to that, this new update also fixes the TjMax error in the event where C1E is enabled, and enhances 3200 MHz memory compatibility.

In order to benefit from these changes, first make sure your currently installed BIOS build number isn’t either newer or matching this release (displayed in BIOS setup menu).

If all is ok, make sure to load the BIOS factory defaults, as applying a newer version on overclocked settings isn’t recommended, and only afterwards save and extract the proper downloadable package for your board model.

Now, close all programs and processes that might interfere with the upgrade, search and run the “update.bat” file, press “Y” to initiate the installation, and wait for the computer to do its job.

Bear in mind that while flashing the BIOS, you mustn’t turn off/reboot the computer or interrupt the process in any way. Doing so will cause serious device malfunctions and you might also brick your X99 motherboard.

Moreover, installing a newer build should be performed only when it specifically implements a change that you can make use of. Also, downgrading the system’s BIOS isn’t recommended at all and might not always be possible.

With this in mind, download EVGA X99 BIOS 1.12 for the appropriate motherboard, carefully apply it on your device, and enjoy the changes that this new release brings about.
