1.09 just created issues for me... now I have zero control on my channel fan so it's blasting at full speed ! I can't take the sound of it anymore... (I have z170 stinger). Please help.

I decided to try and update from 1.08 to 1.09 again today. My system hung on the restart after the flash and wouldn't boot. Showing post code 19 now. I've removed all hardware and still can't get anywhere. Trying to start a support ticket but site is having issues now... grrrrr

Started a support ticket. New BIOS chip enroute... oh I wish I'd purchased the Classified vs FTW... THAT dual bios would be amazing now

I have stuck with z170 FTW 1.08 bio's are there still problems occuring on upgrading to 1.09 and stability ???

I am one who always likes updating to the latest Bios. But I look at this thread and wonder if the 1.09 bios is even stable? Can anyone confirm their use of this Bios has worked for them? (especially on the stinger?) OR is everyone in consensus that this Bios causes issues? I do realize that the posts listed here.... just may be fluke situations.
I can't imagine EVGA would leave this bios update up if there were stability issues?!
 
thanks

I have not chanced it I am on 1.08 since release and happy with staying on them
 
If 1.10 come out and has major improvements I will/might update but there is no reason for me to go to 1.09 now my i6700k is happy on OC my 3200mhz memory has no problems in XMP everything is perfect just as it was on release date bio's 1.04 correct me if wrong

I want to add 16more GBs of memory myself but am seeing issue of z170 boards not just evga handling them then you have know issues of buying 1 pack on build and a addon pack to fill all 4 dimms not carrying XMP and rated hz because of a match issue of them not being mass produced even though the same model numbers etc...

pittbull

I've learned the hard way. If it's not broke don't update it.
