This BIOS is a BETA and as such is still a work in progress. Currently this BIOS is meant for the new Broadwell processors only, if you are not using a Broadwell, it is recommended that you stay with the current BIOS release. BIOS R202 Updates (Stinger Wifi) BIOS R200 Updates (FTW) BIOS R202 Updates (Classified)
- Adds support for Broadwell Processors
Windows Installation- Download the correct .zip file below for your motherboard:
111-HR-E973-KR - EVGA Z97 Stinger Wifi 142-HR-E977-KR - EVGA Z97 FTW 152-HR-E879-KR - EVGA Z97 Classified- 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

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

Interesting... I heard lots about the desktop parts, but also that they wont really compete with enthusiast devils canyon... Still they may be work considering for a Stinger build if you don't want to drop in a discrete card (or if direct x 12 hits and allows for better use of onboard graphics). Also, fyi see my post about what seems like a minor bug re the current z97 classy bios.... seems my core ratio limit settings reset themselves when going back into the BIOS... hopefully that can be fixed in an update

My (Intel Employee Discount) i5-5675C arrived today.. Looks like I'm going to need to strip my 4670K from my main rig to flash the BIOS unless someone knows differently :-( I'm really impressed with EVGA support so far, let's hope it continues. CB

On the main download page for the E972 there's a version 2.00 BIOS with no description. Is this for broadwell only too? Did those 2.02 make it past the beta?
