Considering they only state the same old improve system stability and now better usb support for some usb products, I won't be updating...especially after the problems I had with 1402 lol.

Btw what the heck happened to changelogs being added so we know why the need for another BIOS revision?

I updated last night and everything is working great. I had no problems with 1402 either.
I do have a strange issue every time a change my BIOS no mater the version.
I have 2 raid-0 set up. 1 raid is 2 SSD drives and I named it SSDRAID and 2nd raid is 2 hard drives named RAID0.
My operating system is on the SSDRAID and what I like to do is disable all other boot options and just have SSDRAID as my 1st boot option but right after I do a BIOS update I always get a error saying missing boot file. The only way I have been able to fix this is to set SSDRAID as 1st boot option and set RAID0 as 2nd boot option and when booting I notice a blinking bar for a few seconds top left of screen like its searching for boot files before Windows boot starts and then it boots. After that 1st boot I can go back into Boot options and disable RAID0 as 2nd boot option only leaving SSDRAID as a option for booting and everything works great again till another BIOS version change.

is it worth updating or should i stay with 1402?

what kind of speeds do you get with your x2 samsung array?

[speed]

If your current bios is running well don't fix it. A bios flash has no guarantee that it will work. There has been a number of folks who flased it and it was game over. They had to get new bios chips. So if you have to flash go ahead, but be for warned you may end up dead.

I have only bench tested my Samsungs in SiSoftware Sandra Lite 2012.SP4c and my 1st bench after loading Windows 7 on them was 1027Mbs read speed. Now after windows has been on them for a while(dont know if that has anything to do with it) I get 956Mbs every time i test .

Firsth rule of all after BIOS update? ...No mutter what MB.

Yep, cleard CMOS via hand as shown on Manual of your MB.
Then set your system as it should be to your setup!

That is what im doing. I am setting BIOS up after it has been cleared from the update. I have 3 profiles I set back up and I like in my boot order settings I have my SSDRAID( OS drives) as the only boot option but after a update windows will not boot unless I also add my second RAID( Storage drives) set up as a 2nd boot option. After that 1st boot into windows I can then go back in to BIOS and disable the 2nd boot option and only have SSDRAID as boot option = the way I like it
I know some one else that has this issue as well and I was just throwing it out there.

Yes I am that other person that is having the same problem. I have to go into the BIOS and set my Storage raid (2 samsung 1tb HD's) as my BOOT drive and my Main Drive (samsung SSD raid as my SECOND BOOT DEVICE to get Windows to boot??????????? This is clearly a problem with the Raid drivers or BIOS and it really needs to be fixed. People who buy ROG and even ASUS MB geeanerally spend a lot of money on them and to have this type of problem is not good. This happens every BIOS update and sometimes get the same problem after CLEAR CMOS.
