Is this 1.10 update not available for the Z390 Dark anymore? The link does not work and if I go to support site it only gives me version 1.09. Never mind I think I found it. Edit: Nope says incorrect image file - no idea where to find bios 1.10 for Z390 Dark. Cmon EVGA fix the links. Trying to find this bios is like finding a needle in a haystack. Already loaded defaults and can't get the bios.

Must have been a bit of a hiccup on our file server or you picked a time when maintenance was being done to it. I didn't change the links, and it seems like it's downloading now, so maybe it was just a gremlin.

Still not downloading from the link for me Lee. I checked with both Chrome and Edge.

Try clearing your browser cache. If you have a failed download sometimes, it stays cached for a while (it even happens to me when setting up the drivers to go on the website). You can also try copy/pasting the link in a private/incognito mode window. If you still get a broken link, let me know and I'll clear the cache from our side.

Well it is not a big deal for me now as I was able to get the bios and update with it by searching your website for it. No worries.
