14 DAY TRIAL // Today, ASRock has made available two new BIOS packages targeted at four of its Intel Z170 Chipset based motherboards, which update the unit’s “DDR4 OC” function and improve resume behavior for Windows 10 HT2 10586.
To be clear about the targeted boards, the producer has provided BIOS 1.80 suitable for its Z170 Extreme6 and Extreme6+ device models, as well as version 1.90 compatible with the Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 and K6+ motherboards.
Now, if you consider a BIOS upgrade, bear in mind that you must perform this process only when the newer version fixes a specific issue that bothered you or implements a change that you can make use of.
In addition to that, since an installation failure can seriously damage your motherboard, this task must be completed under a steady power environment and shouldn’t be interrupted in any way.
As for the downloadable files, ASRock has provided three downloadable packages for each board and BIOS version describing different flashing methods.
To use the DOS archive, simply save and extract it onto a USB stick, connect the drive to your computer, and run the appropriate file from a DOS command screen. Similar steps apply to the Instant Flash file as well, only its content must be executed from BIOS’ flash utility.
Last but not least, to flash your BIOS using the Windows-related archive (must extract it as well), close all programs that might interfere with this process, and run the available setup file.
That being said, follow the link that best describes your ASRock motherboard from the ones below, take into account all aspects as mentioned earlier, and enjoy your newly-improved device.
