Hello guys,
At hwbot.org forum, user elmor posted a link with a new BIOS version for our Maximus motherboards, the 3201, here is the link:

I premise that i didn't overclock my system and my actual processor is the i7-7700k.
Last week I've flashed my M8E with the mentioned release, it's quite stable, the only two problems i got were a BSOD from a Windows driver (WDF01000.sys) that i don't know if it's related or not (it was the first time i had such a crash) and i can't access the BIOS settings with my actual keyboard (Logitech G510) because the system doesn't recognize the inputs, pressing F2 or DEL does nothing, and it was the same with the official BIOS version 3007, with version 2202 works flawlessly and i read i wasn't the only one with that issue.
In return, since i bought the motherboard, november 2015, of 10 shutdowns, rougly 9 weren't done correctly (system on with all the fans spinning, need to force shutdown by pressing the on button), this new BIOS seems to resolve the issue, in fact i shutted down my system and it goes off correctly 100% of the time, but i will report if it lasts or not.
Try at your risk.

This Bios 3201 is not official, so to install an official BIOS is to get in trouble. Always download BIOS from official source and not from a third party source. Why do you link to an unofficial page. No one knows whats inside that BIOS. No description, no nothing.

Modded BIOS would be a more fitting description. Beta suggests it was released by the manufacturer. This isn't the case, or at least not a public beta release. If it is a beta release that was shared then put out publicly that person won't see another one.*
Just be forewarned that this is an unknown source and make your own decision on whether or not it's with the risk of bricking your board and voiding the warranty.*

Hello
This is complete nonsense. Elmor works for ASUS. I'm sure you are familiar with the saying regarding assuming something.
What is complete nonsense is for someone as astute as you are to stomp on someones toes because I don't know who Elmor is posting BIOS files on a non ASUS sponsored forum making further assumptions. If its not posted on an ASUS sponsored forum by a known reliable source or available for download on ASUS webpage and tagged as BIOS beta I consider it unreliable.
Would you download and install a file on your machine if I make one up and posted it elsewhere under the name Elmer Fudd and told you that Bugs and Elmer run the R&D for ASUS?
Thanks for assuming everyone knows knows that username elmor at hwbot works for asus.
