Sorry if I missed any previous posts about this... so the older 150-SE-E789-KR has Bluetooth, but the new 150-SE-E789-K2 does not?
EDIT: Ok, I found the thread http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=2158333 Doesn't bother me, but I suppose if you really wanted Bluetooth connectivity you could just buy an adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AJ0ZV8608


Yep, you got it...

It seems the new board does not have the EVbot port either.

Would a bios update fix the incompatibility with the AX860?

You would think if it was possible, they would have done it already.  This has been a known issue since the launch of the board.

I find it sad that there is only one fix here for BIOs update. Was hoping they would fix more and attend to some issues that have been posted in the past, especially for older graphics cards to run PCI-E 2 instead of at PCI-E 1. If I had the money, probably would go with a different brand now.

forgive me but what is the problem with 860? I'm running an AX850 and my system is rock solid. I haven't updated to 211 but I'm from the old school of "don't fix it if it ain't broken"

It doesn't make sense that they halfway screwed it up (BT) with rev 2.10, and now looks like totally screwed it up with rev 2.11...  For those of us with the "older" Dark boards with BT, and those of us that use it, why remove the setting from the bios??  It would seem it could just be greyed out for "newer" Dark boards released without BT devices installed.  Or have two seperate BIOS's for the two different boards.  Something to that affect.



Yes, and maybe they should rename the new X79 Dark with a new Name.
For me it really make no different because I do not use Bluetooth. 
 


Well unfortunetally this is why I bought this Board because of the Bluetooth its a shame it doesn't work correctly is EVGA gonna do a RMA with a board that supports it or GIVE CASH back if they cant...

So I wanted to see what all the fuss was about since my Dark has Bluetooth and 2.11 Bios. So far everything works fine. I sent a pic to my Samsung S2 no problem.

You should go with 2.12 and not 2.11
This was the issue I had http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2164130 it was within the Bios not the OS.
I Disabled it in the Bios and once done it no longer shows in Bios was the issue I had.

So where is the 2.12 with the fix at? How much longer do we have to wait? What about other features that were listed and promised or at least said you guys were looking into it?


You're kidding, right?   It's a sticky.  Has been for awhile now.  Here you go.  >>  http://forums.evga.com/EVGA-X79-Dark-BIOS-212-Released-m2205283.aspx
