EVGA has just announced the availability of new BIOS packages targeted at its Intel Z97 chipset-based motherboards, which includes USB profile and load last saved settings functions, and adds UEFI RAID Configuration in Advanced Page.

In addition to that, the compatible products also receive support for NVMe bootable devices and will allow its owners to disable CSM item directly, without having to change launch video mode.

To be clear about the supported products, EVGA has rolled out BIOS 1.08 for its Z97 Classified and Z97 FTW boards, as well as versions 1.06 and 1.09 targeted at Z97 Stinger WiFi and Z97 Stinger Core 3D devices, respectively.

Now that I highlighted all there is to know about this update, go through the changes brought via these new BIOS versions once more, and decide whether you want to upgrade your motherboard or not.

If you consider doing so, save and unzip the downloadable archive appropriate for your device model, make sure to load BIOS default settings, and close all program and processes that might interfere with the installation.

Afterwards, locate and run “update.bat” file, press “Y” to initiate the update, and allow your board to perform the process. Once finished, the system will automatically shut down.

However, if the flash box either doesn’t appear or closes immediately when running “update.bat,” save the extracted content onto an FAT32-formatted USB drive and execute the included .bin file from a DOS command prompt.

That being said, from the links below, follow the one best describing your motherboard model, apply the new BIOS using the aforementioned steps, and constantly check our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
