         141-HW-E877-KR - EVGA Z87 FTW

• 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.

  
USB Flash/DOS Drive Installation

• Create a bootable disk.
• Extract the above .zip file to your bootable disk.
• From a DOS prompt, run 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, shut the system down completely. Then power on again.

After flashing verify that the correct flash was applied by checking the version number on the lower right corner of the BIOS screen.

good work, fixed all my problems and gave me stable OC
 

Is there an additional download link? Each time I attempt to download the v1.10, it is corrupted. It will say 'done' before actually downloading all of it. I tried the one in the 'Downloads' section and the one on this page.
 
---UPDATE---
Never mind, I was able to download it from a different browser

I gave up and moved to z97.

When will this board get a bios update to support a devils canyon CPU???? 
 
 
 

How about the Intel Broadwell processors for the desktop PC, or for the Z97 and ZH97 motherboards that were recently released in the market? Unfortunately for PC enthusiasts and System builders, we will have to wait for one more year (starting today), since the BDW-H 4+3e LGA platform will be released by week 21 to week 26 of 2015, or somewhere in June of 2015.
This means that we won’t be seeing Broadwell processors for desktop PC for another year. And if you are going to buy the upcoming Intel Core i7-4790K or Core i5-4690K this June, you will have 1 year to enjoy the processors until the next generation 14nm CPUs comes out. For those who are going to buy a Z97 or H97 based motherboard anytime soon, don’t you worry because the 5th Gen. Broadwell processors are fully compatible with the Intel 9 series motherboards. Unfortunately for 8 series motherboard users, they may no longer be backwards compatible.

Anyone else having problems going into the bios after installing this update?

 
Yes - i flash the 1.10 BIOS via USB Stick - no POST.. 
 
Board hangs at errorcode "d6"
 
Highest BIOS version that works for me is 1.06 - but no warmstart possible, causes to hang-up the board at errorcode "FF"
 
 
Glad that EVGA Support asks me about the "Windows Event Viewer" when submitting a Ticket regarding this issue.. totally makes sense, as my Mainboard does not boot at all -.-
 
Whats going on with EVGA in the recent, are we regressing to mediocre massmarked support? Sad, i experienced different in the Years before..

I'm running a 4790k no problem but how are we supposed to know what bios version we are running on this board?  I don't see anything during post to tell me what version I am running.

You can see when you go into your BIOS. It will be on your lower right corner.

I cannot get this bios to install within windows or from a boot cd.  Why didn't evga create a bootable cd iso like they've done in the past with other mb's?  FWIW I'm running 1.01 and it will still boot with the 4790k however it will not restart without hanging but I can shut down just fine.

How do I create a bootable disc with those files on it?  I'm using nero and it will not allow me to add them to the iso of the msdos6.2 boot cd I'm using.  I tried it with imageburn but that didn't work either.

If you don't have a flash drive. Unzip the files and burn onto a cd. Boot off the cd and follow the instructions above.
