Hello I am new here in the forum and I come here often to remove my doubts, thank you for help and share your knowledge, I have a Maximus Extreme IV Z with bios 1004, is worth doing a bios update to 3203? I wish I had your experience feedback, I've used the bios 3202 but reverted to the 1004 bios because I was having some problems with bios 3202 (AE debug code, the pc restarted itself, and not detected some usb devices etc.) Sorry for my poor English, I'm Portuguese, greetings and thank you all guys!

Hello my friend

If your system is working good with the BIOS you have. Stay there.

The new BIOS is getting ready for the next generation of CPU.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Thanks buddy Hivizman, not always for the bios updates bring benefits, however, when information contained in "Improve system stability" we are always tempted to update ... anyway thank you for your advice mate!

Mine work flawless since the first day 8 months ago, I will not change anything for sure. The new 22nm CPU ? .... will not be a good reason or excuse to purchase the Maximus V formula instead of update the BIOS .... Sorry no update, new build .... ROG all the way

Maybe you're right Area66, my bios version is 1004 and is stable, maybe not so important to update it.
Either way (and just out of curiosity) of all the bios versions released so far, who tested them, what is the best and most stable?
Thanks for the advice, best regards.
