Anyone having problems flashing back to a previous bios after installing 2401? Whenver I tyr using EZ flash with USB drive formatted as FAT32 I get message this is a not a proper bios. I can flash 2401 repeatedly using the same flash drive but no prior version. Thanks

Use USB BIOS FLASHBACK

tries to cut off the power to the motherboard , wait 3 minutes and again by the current, otherwise proceed with a " CLEARCMOS "
P.S before working properly ? you have the latest drivers installed the ROG Front Base ?

Same here.

Anyone know how to flash back to 2012 after updating to 2401?

Update: seems that you can't downgrade directly to 2012 from bios 2401.
I managed to downgrade to 2304 (front base is now working directly from the bios)

We really need a change log here. We are not 2 year olds that figure out if we want to update a bios or not. We buy 300 plus dollar ROG boards for a reason. Improved system stability is not a change log. Can an admin post a real change log so we can make an educated decision as to whether or not we need to update...................... After saying what i think needs to be said...This bios did seem to improve sli communication and or pcie functionality. . My 980's are running smoother than ever even in a screwed up game like watchdogs. A REAL CHANGE LOG PLEASE...

After using maximus vi hero and now with maximus vii hero, i learned that if the changelog is "Improve system stability" means that it destroys system stability. I got multiple bsod's all the time with the same oc settings on 2401. So I revert back to 2304 and everything is fine.

You are lucky! I flashed to 2401 and now I can't flash back or revert to a previous version. If I try to revert to an earlier version it doesn't recognize the BIOS file as a valid BIOS file. Right from the start it has been a nightmare. It doesn't load the keyboard and mouse, so i have to switch them around to find a USB outlet that will recognize it. I have BSOD randomly now in windows with different exceptions. None of this was happening to me with 2012. What I find particularly annoying is that it will allow me to flash with 2401 over and over again, but it won't let me flash a previous version to get rid of this nightmare. My solution, send the board back to Amazon for a refund and buy a different motherboard...

For people trying to roll back, did you use the bios level flash utility or the windows utility in ai suite 3?
