Honestly I have a setup that works and is quite stable...  Switching to backup bios and flashing is going to entail not just digging out my case from under the desk and cracking it open, but also gaming with it for awhile trying to reproduce an intermittent blue screen.  
 
It seems to make more sense to just stick with what works, but I reported the bug really for y'all's benefit. I might mess around with it a little bit more, but it seems like a waste of my time when I already have a known working config that just happens to use older drivers/FW/BIOS. 
 
And honestly, the BIOS that shipped with the board was totally horrible. I didn't start enjoying stability until the second to last one came out. When Fallout 4 came out I had intermittent Blue Screens until I figured out that underclocking the RAM from the XMP default just slightly solved all my problems. 

All in all, I'm a little sad I didn't cough up the extra $50 for an ASUS Maximus Hero instead. In all honesty. Probably the last EVGA board I will ever use, but I feel stuck with this one for a few years. I may change out the boards if I ever go SLI, because this one simply doesn't seem stable enough to guarantee delivery of a fun SLI experience. Quite frankly. 
 
EVGA and nVidia are supposedly 'partners' and there is absolutely no reason that any of their product lines should have any kind of compatibility problems right out of the box. I had an EVGA board before this and it was a great little board. Heard that the company's quality had declined in recent years, and didn't believe it until I experienced it firsthand with this board. My EVGA power supply also failed, 9 months into its lifespan, and the RMA involved fronting a capital investment, plus I wanted to go with a more reliable PS anyway. So i literally chunked it into the garbage. The return process simply wasn't worth it. 
 
Anyway, this is all stuff that would weigh pretty heavily on my mind if I worked there. Thankfully, I don't.
