hello all.

i have at this time bios version 2201 on VII Hero.

no problems with hardware or other issues, it looks like that all components are working for my satisfaction. i know also that you should never touch a running system.

But i'm so unsafe, to put now the new version on.

i feel it is a risk ,after flashing, one problem to other is coming.

i don't know what to do.

If your system is stable and the newer BIOS doesn't offer a functionality that you're planning to use, stick with your current BIOS. 🙂

IF 2201 is working fine for you then you don't need to do anything. I run 2801 and it works well for me. Just make sure that you're on a battery backup before you try to flash and have the power go out in the middle of it which would most likely brick it.

thanks to chino and puffnstuff for your reply 🙂

YES , my system works without any complaints , i have never seen any mistakes or instable facts. i control the stable state by running the 3DMark Test completely and after that , it shows me the test result. i can't find any issue.

i have heard from two friends, that they have problems with their systems with similar mobos after flashing to newer bios. i can't say witch hardware they using, but it's everytime a lottery game to make it ,downflashing is more than difficult and when you have done this and system not working well ,you will ask yourself ,why you
have done.

Puffnstuff: oh , you mean with battery backup ,that the battery just not be empty ...... true?

I keep my systems on a battery backup, APC, so they are protected from a power loss. If you lose power while in the middle of performing a flash and you don't have a battery backup it can brick your system.

Ich halte meine Systeme auf einem Batterie-Backup, APC, so dass sie von einem Stromausfall geschützt. Wenn Sie verlieren Macht, während in der Mitte der Durchführung einer Flash und Sie nicht über eine Batterie-Backup kann es Ziegel Ihrem System.
