14 DAY TRIAL // Today, ASRock has made available new BIOS packages developed for some of its Z170 series motherboards, which improve boot time, enhance DRAM compatibility, and update Microcode, ME, and RC.
To be clear about the compatible devices and their related BIOS versions, the producer has provided build 1.40 for its Z170 Extreme6 and Extreme6+ models, BIOS 1.50 suitable for Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 and K6+ devices, as well as version 1.80 compatible with its Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4 boards.
When it comes to installing these new releases, bear in mind that this process should be performed only when the newer version fixes a specific issue that bothered you or implements a change that you can really make use of.
Considering this, if you intend to update your board’s BIOS version, take into account that ASRock has provided 3 downloadable packages for each board and BIOS version that describe different flashing methods.
Specifically speaking, the DOS archive must be extracted onto a USB stick and executed from a DOS command screen. Similar steps apply to the Instant Flash file as well, and only its content must be executed from BIOS’ flash utility.
Last but not least, to flash your BIOS using the Windows-related archive, simply save it, extract it, close all programs that might interfere with this process, and run the available setup file.
That being said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your ASRock motherboard, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and enjoy your newly improved device.
