Today, ASRock has rolled out several new BIOS versions compatible with certain models of its Intel Z170 and H170 Chipset motherboard series, which update Intel microcode and ME, as well as improve OC profile and DRAM compatibility.

Specifically speaking, the producer has provided BIOS 7.10 for the H170M Pro4S unit, version 1.30 suitable for Z270M Extreme4 boards, as well as the 7.20 package targeted at its Z170 Extreme4+ and Z170 Extreme4 motherboards.

In addition to that, ASRock has also made available version 7.10 compatible with Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4 units, build 7.30 targeted at Z170 Extreme3 devices, as well as BIOS 1.11 suitable for the Z270 SuperCarrier board.

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 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.
