AW: ACHTUNG Bios für ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming
Ich hab jetzt mal beim Englischen Support eine Beschwerde eingereicht, ich will wenigstens mal ein offizieles Statement von ASUS zu dem ganzen...
Mir sind dabei am Ende leider die erlaubten Zeichen ausgegangen bevor ich auch nur die hälfte schreiben konnte^^, aber den Rest kriegt halt dann der arme Mitarbeiter zu hören der nächste Woche per Email antwortet.
"To whom it may concern,
I have recently had, and still have, major problems with my ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura Motherboard.
The trouble started when I installed the newest official BIOS version for the motherboard (v3016). Which was labeled as "Improve system stability".
However this BIOS version has some major flaws. Ever since I installed I can no longer save overclocking-profiles for the motherboard. I can also no longer run my memory's XMP profile, which means I cannot use the advertised frequency (3400 Mhz as listed in your QVL).
I am not alone with these problems, a short Google search finds probably hundreds of entries on different forums and websites of people complaining about the same issues. However there has been no response by ASUS on this matter, you are even still offering this faulty BIOS version on your website (it has been up there since the 29. Dec). You only relabeled it to "Support new CPUs" as if nothing ever happened.
I have then contacted the official ASUS support to resolve this matter (I ll include the Email-exchange as a attachment).
Your support send me a instruction on how to use ASUS-CrashFree BIOS to downgrade the BIOS to previous and stable version. Which I tried several times before giving up and going back to google. A short time later I realized that the instructions given to me cannot work because ASUS fundamentally doesn't allow you to downgrade your BIOS on these Motherboards.
A fact which the German ASUS support freely admits stating:
"Ein Rückflashen ist seitends ASUS für das MB Z170 PRO GAMING nicht vorgesehen."
which translates as:
"Downgrading is not supported by ASUS for Motherboards of the Type Z170 PRO GAMING"
A moderator on your ASUS-forums also states:
"USB BIOS Flashback is the only tool that is guaranteed to work for a re-flash or downgrade of BIOS to an older version.That function is not available on your motherboard."
Your support staff however does not admit that and therefore cant help me"
daher biete ich es Euch und anderen eben an zu flashen ...
