14 DAY TRIAL // Today, EVGA has made available new BIOS updates developed for its Z87 motherboard series, namely version 1.06 compatible with the Z87 Classified and Stinger units, as well as BIOS 1.08 targeted at the Z87 FTW board.
These fresh updates fix the ESC key problem that made it unusable in popup boot menus and the Intel NIC issue where performance was lowered after the first install, and removes the Windows loading USB beep and the “No Keyboard Detected” message.
In addition to that, through these new releases, each board gets improved memory compatibility at frequencies above 2667 MHz, as well as enhanced memory performance at 2400 MHz and above.
When it comes to installing the updates, simply get and expand the compatible package, close all programs and processes that might interfere with the upgrade, run the “update.bat” file, and press “Y” in order to start the flash.
While the installation is in progress, make sure you don’t power off or reset the unit so that it doesn’t encounter any crash-related problems.
After the upgrade finishes, the system will automatically reboot, at which point you should enter the BIOS setup in order to verify that the new version has successfully installed, and to load the default BIOS settings.
That being said, if you consider installing one of these versions, from the links below, follow the one that best describes you motherboard, get the package, take into account all the above-mentioned aspects, and enjoy your newly updated device.
