    Are we going to get a new version of ELEETX with this Bios, it has been in Beta from day one and it shows no temperatures and other information.
     
    It the Bios Different for each OS now and even Different between 32Bit and 64 Bit the support page shows that it is now?

    Just got this board a week or so ago. Love it. Just started boosting the power. Ram fix is nice worked perfectly. Only thing is now instead of computer starting after shut with keyboard press, my keyboard lights come on with keyboard press after shutdown. Thanks for all the hard work. Couldn't be happier with this mobo.

    Why cleaned boot mode selection (Legacy or UEFI)? I installed windows in UEFI mode, could not boot, had to save a profile with 1.14 and download it in 1.15. Fix please.

    Same Here I have to go back to 1.14 Windows Boot Device works and the OS Win7 will come up at the Desktop never comes up. The OS is up, so once you here the Windows Startup Sound press your Power Button and the computer will shut down.
     
    Back to 1.14 due to CSM issues in 1.15.
     
    This is what is missing in 1.15

    • Fix USB Keyboard/Mouse can wake up system after shutdown on Window 8.
     
    FYI: This also happens with Windows 10. So I hope that the fix for Windows 8 will work for Windows 10? Yes I know its still Tech Preview but its also happens with Windows 10, just a heads up....

    Works fine with windows 8.1, maybe it's a windows 7 issue.

    I was running Windows 10 for a while and this issue was happening, so I went back to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit which has NO issues. But now that 1.15 fixes the issue for Windows 8.x I assume that the issue could be resolved for Windows 10 also. I might install 10 again and see if it still happens now that I am running 1.15 bios.

    I also need a confirmation, if this will not effect my Windows 8 since I use a XP941 512GB as my OS boot drive on BIOS version 1.14.  Will hold on this 1.15 BIOS update till I can get a green light from a EVGA rep to upgrade without issue.  
     
    If no answer is given in the next few hours, I'll be giving tech support a call.

    Good News Everyone....
    I spoke with engineering last night, (had a convo with BCavanaugh about this as well as he was PMing me) and they looked into it, they were able to reproduce your issues (I sent them to this thread so they could test and reproduce),and have a release of 1.16, this is 1.15 with the boot mode added back into CSM.
    I apologize about the issues everyone, but good catch and thank you for bringing it to my attention.  Granted not everything is able to be fixed this quickly, but, when we can we try to get fixes out this fast.  I will make a 1.16 thread for the announcement and have the new BIOS available there and I will be adding it to our download site as well.  Since I have to add things one at a time, the download site will likely be done in about 30 minutes from now.
     
    Thanks for the patients.

    Did this happen after you updated the Bios to 1.15 or was it like this BEFORE you updated the Bios and then what Version are on?
    If it was like this before Bios 1.15 then you should open your own Thread.
    I have four cards are only one card runs at X16 the other 3 run at X8. Are you set to Auto in the Bios and also did you set the GEN to Auto or move them the Gen 3? And what "PCI Disable" did you disable?
    Do you have a Sound Card installed in one of the PCIe Slots?
    Take a image of your Bios and post it.

    This is how I set mine.

    Thanks BCavanaugh, have you tried the new BIOS yet?
     
    Let me know if there are further concerns, as this should fix the issue that was reported.

    sett all to 3.0 but all showed as 8x only it has been that before long time before :/ if you disable pci-e lanes does it for you automatically change to 16x if you got all cards in the system 1 or 2?... If I disabled 3 of the lanes onl 1 card lane enable it stays at 3.0 8x

    The Specs do say that with 4 Cards you are going to get only X8 X8 X8 X8
     CI-E Slot Arrangement – 1x16, 2x16, 3x8, 4x8
    Also your card will only run at the lowest speed card, so even if one of mine show X16 in SLI it will really only run x8 as the rest of the cards do.
