Re: ASRock FM2A88X+ Killer BIOS
There may not be many other people with that board who are having issues with their BIOS and are looking for answers here. Are you having an issue? There are only three versions available for that board: 1.10, 1.30, and 1.70.

ASRock recommends to not update the BIOS unless you are having issues. Most of the time I don't update unless 1) there is an issue or 2) new features that I will use become available.Comment

Good advice. If I wanted to be continually challenged with updating BIOS to correct for problems I'd have bought Gigabyte instead.Originally posted by vuldin View Post

I've had 100% success updating the BIOS of my ASRock boards... until my Z97 Extreme 6 met UEFI 1.30...

By the way, I just bought this board to resolve some issues with one of my family member's computer. I'll post once it arrives to mention which BIOS version it comes with. I'll be using the AMD A10-7850K along with it.Comment

Re: ASRock FM2A88X+ Killer BIOS
You mean there are lots of people having issues with this board? I'll have to read up on it. I'm hoping it will be painless since I'll be helping a family member through the installation remotely, wish me luck (starts tomorrow)!Originally posted by - wardog - View PostComment

Re: ASRock FM2A88X+ Killer BIOS
So the motherboard and CPU arrived today, and as I mentioned I was planning on helping my family member remotely to get it installed and tested out. As it turns out he wasn't really interested in working through the details and was in a hurry to just see if it would work. He got really lucky from what it sounds like.
He was coming from a Intel-based MSI board (and old server-focused X** chipset, can't recall the exact model) with some Intel CPU and an Nvidia 500 series GPU. He bought the PC from a friend a few months ago, and it had one of those Corsair water coolers on the CPU (similar to the new Radeion 295X2) that sprung a leak which shorted out the motherboard and video card. All he did was install the ASRock motherboard and the AMD chip in place of the old components, plugged back in the hard drive and peripherals, booted up in the same Windows install as before and all is working according to him. I would have never been ok with going that route... even if it did work I would have still done a reinstall. He never even went into the BIOS, and he is using 4 2GB memory sticks which aren't even on the supported mem list.
I'm betting he runs into issues at some point, but so far he's happy.Comment
