ASRock has made available a new series of BIOS updates targeted at some of its latest motherboards line-up, which improve DRAM compatibility, OC function, and boot time, as well as implement new Vcore offset options and NVME configurations.

However, bear in mind that not all these changes will be implemented by each of the BIOS versions highlighted below. Be sure to check the release notes suitable for your motherboard (provided on its description page).

Therefore, in terms of compatible devices, the producer has provided a 1.50 BIOS package developed for its B150M Pro4/D3, B150M Pro4S/D3, and Z170 OC Formula boards, as well as the 1.90 version suitable for Z170M Pro4 and Z170M Pro4S models.

In addition to that, ASRock has also made available the 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, and 1.60 BIOS updates compatible with its Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac, H170M Pro4S, B150M Pro4S, and Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6(+) motherboard units.

When it comes to applying these packages, you should know that the producer has provided 3 update files that allow its users to flash the BIOS through 3 different methods: Instant Flash, DOS, and Windows.

Specifically speaking, while Instant Flash download must be extracted onto a removable storage and executed from within the BIOS setup menu, the Windows package is to be unzipped and run from a Windows operating system.

As for the DOS download, the file included within this archive must be executed from a DOS prompt. Either way, upon completion, make sure to reboot your computer and load the default BIOS settings to be sure no problems will be encountered.

That being said, from the links below, follow the one best describing your device model, download the appropriate file suitable for your desired upgrade method, and apply the latest BIOS on your motherboard.
