Today, ASRock has rolled out several new BIOS versions compatible with certain models of its Intel Z170, H170, H110, and B150 Chipset motherboard series, which update microcode to 0x74 and improve DRAM compatibility.

Specifically speaking, the producer has provided BIOS 1.10 for the H110M-ITX/ac unit, version 1.40 suitable for B150M-HDV boards, as well as the 1.50 package targeted at its Z170M Extreme4, H170M-ITX/DL, H170M-ITX/ac, and H110M-HDV motherboards.

In addition to that, ASRock has made available version 1.70 compatible with H170M Pro4S, H110M Combo-G, Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac, B150M Pro4S, and B150M Pro4 devices.

Moreover, the B150M Combo-G (1.90), H170M Pro4 (1.90), Z170 OC Formula (2.10), Z170M-ITX/ac (2.00), Z170M Pro4S (2.40), and Z170M Pro4 (2.40) models also benefit from newer BIOS versions that apply the same updates.

When it comes to installation, first of all, take into account that the BIOS should be upgraded only when the newer version includes changes that can really improve your board. Also, this process must be performed in a stable power environment (it would be a good idea to use a UPS system).

As for the update method, there are several ways for flashing the BIOS as ASRock has provided three downloadable files, each capable of applying the newer version. Make sure to follow all instructions displayed on each description page.

That said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your motherboard, carefully read the details of each update procedure, and save the appropriate installation file. Also, constantly check our website to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
