Nice to see EVGA keep the X99 MB up to date

Will EVGA be updating the memory compatibility list for this bios revision? I noticed there are few mistakes in the list as well.
Thanks for the update.

Thank You

I just built an X99 FTW K with a 5820K processor on Friday (and it's great so far) :)
I'm on bios 2.0 and everything seems stable.
Should I update the bios or leave it as is, if there are no issues with the current bios?

I would recommend you do update to the current Bios as you have a fresh OS Install and All.

So I installed this update, and lost my second graphics card.  Restored to 2.01 to get it back.  Any idea why this would happen?

Will the G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14Q-32GTZSW work on the x99 classified mother board with the new bios update ?

Cool GTX

Does GSkill list them as tested / approved ?

No they do not: http://gskill.com/en/configurator

Did you reset the Bios back to the Default Settings Before you update to the New Bios. THIS IS A MUST
From Post 1) First go into your BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
You can also Power on your Computer and Hold the Small Red Button on the MB or the Back I/O Panel and hold for 6 seconds.
You will then need to re-setup the new Bios.

Appreciate the response, however this did not work.  I tried twice, once using the Load Defaults option, and another using the Reset CMOS button.  Almost same result, except this time I had to re-seat the graphics cards to get both to activate on v2.01.  On v2.02 re-seating the cards did not produce any change.
 
Just to verify, each card works on v2.02, individually and using either slot.  But they will not both show at the same time.
 
Thank you.

Sound more like you may gave a settings set wrong in the Bios to cause what you are seeing.
Maybe you should open a New Thread about this and complete the template file located here: X99 Troubleshooting TEMPLATE  **READ ME BEFORE POSTING**  Remember to also post the template on your Thread.

 
I will create a thread with the template as suggested.  Thank you.

Really basic questions here.
 
In the BIOS update instructions for Windows Installation, the precursor step is to load default BIOS settings before booting into Windows to do the update. The BIOS update instructions for BIOS Installation instructions do not include the load defaults step. Is that an oversight, or can we skip the load defaults step if doing the BIOS Installation method.
 
The instructions do not make mention of how we get out settings back if we go through the load defaults step. Can we reload those from saved profile? Will the profiles be retained on the system after the BIOS update or must we export/import them to a flash drive?
 
 
I have been putting off the BIOS updates for way too long and need to get caught up (I am running a 1.x version). At the same time, i have a largely stable overclock setup and really do not want to lose it!
