BIOS 1.16 updates:
 
  • Added boot mode back onto boot page (from reported Boot/CSM issue)
 
Windows Installation

  • Download the correct .zip file below for your motherboard:
         151-HE-E999-KR - EVGA X99 Classified
         150-HE-E997-KR - EVGA X99 FTW
         131-HE-E995-KR - EVGA X99 Micro
  • First go into your BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
  • Close all open programs.
  • Go into the folder where you unzipped this package and update.bat
  • Press Y to start the flash process
  • DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE FLASH PROCESS
  • After the flashing is finished, the system will automatically shut down. Then power on again and go into BIOS to setup.
  • NOTE: If flash box immediately closes after flash attempt, the flash may need to be ran from a CMD prompt with administrator privileges or DOS version.

  • Reboot the machine and go into the system BIOS
  • From the BIOS, navigate to the Save & Exit tab and open "Select BIOS File."

    Thank you for this update.  I did notice "Launch Video OpROM Policy" has been removed but other than that, everything works just fine.

    Update for Windows 7, 1.16 working Great . Here are the settings I use.
    Windows 7 users cannot Disable CSM altogether or they will not have a Desktop when Windows 7 Boots up.
    If you Disable CSM your Monitor will say in the Starting Windows Screen, But Windows dose boot up so you will need to push the Power Button to allow the OS to turn off your computer. Then you can go back into the Bios and Enable CSM

    Is it recommended to flash each bios setting on this board - for example, do BIOS 1 then shutdown. Move selector to #2, boot and flash. Repeat for position 3. Do we (or should we) do this?

    You do not need to shut down if you use the USB Dos Boot method, just change the switch and run the update.bat file.
    After you have done all three TURN OFF your computer and then move the switch back to Bios 1.
    But, I would not recommend doing this though. I find it best to keep the last Two Good know Bios on Bios 2 and Bios 3 and the Current and Active Bios on Bios 1.
     
    If you update through the Bios interface after you update the Bios it will Force a Reboot. After the Reboot go back into the Bios and then switch to the Next Bios position and then reboot back into the Bios and now update the current or active Bios that you are now in. I would also shut down the computer once this is completed Before you make the needed changes in the new Bios.
     
    Remember to reset the Bios back to the Defaults or use the Small Red Button to Clear the CMOS Before you Update your Bios.
    I have mine set at in order 1.16 / 1.16 / 1.14, I started with 1.14 but the motherboard did come with 1.09.
    I am on Bios 2 now doing more Bios testing and overclocking, this way I have a stable Bios 1 for regular use.

    I left the other two alone with what the MB came with.  Just BIOS #1 is updated to 1.16 and works flawlessly.

    Will this new BIOS deal with the boot up issues that plague the X99 chipset boards, regardless of manufacturer?
     
    I have been struggling with my X99 FTW since I got this build back from the shop that assembeled it.   Neither they nor I can get it to reliably boot up, unless there are no peripherals connected to the
    USB 3.0 ports, and even at that, the boot just before I posted this took several re-starts, which is new behavior.
     
    Both the owner of the shop, and myself have had this reported to customer service at level 2, with no resolution.
     
    I really need some help here as I'm at the end of my rope with this thing.

    I do not know of any boot issue, please explain the issue. 
    Change this: That is turn off all other boot devices other than your OS Boot Drive.

     
    To This and let us know if this has fixed your issue:

     
    I do this that is the above image on all my Motherboards.
     
    Also change your settings to Do not Launch as shown below.

     
     
    On "I posted this took several re-starts, which is new behavior." Disable Fast-Boot in the Bios.

    Fast boot "defaults to on" but when I load defaults it's always off. Using 1.16 on a Classified.

    Having USB (mostly at boot) issues, I started a thread. Not just on 1.16, but it still happens on this version as well.  http://forums.evga.com/X9...-related-m2320190.aspx
