Thank you for not forgetting about us old timers EVGA

Well, it was thanks to one of the H370 users that it was brought to our attention.  The MB team went back and looked at other boards that had similar issues and provided updates.  As for the microcode updates, I think we are just updating to the latest.  I wasn't given any additional details or particular concerns for them (i.e. a security update, etc.).

I already flashed newer one. That's you don't want flash it and maybe brick it...why the hell just didn't send a spare chip?

I have a Z170 classified K and flashed to 2.06 and now I'm getting a 0d post code, any suggestions?

Switch to the other bios, and then do this... https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2796350 to fix the bad one.

Mine did the same thing, i had to switch to the 2nd one and it finally boots but it's on the original bios.  Thanks for the link.  I want to update my 2nd bios but i'm afraid because i don't want to brick that one. 
 
Thank you, i'll let you know how it goes.

Update CPU microcode means z170 does support 8700K？

Will there ever be a Bios update for the X99 Classified that gives the onboard audio it's correct name?
 
I can't be the only one who is wondering why the onboard "Creative Core-3D" is called "Azalia" in the Bios.
