Z690 Hero: Updating BIOS from version 2204 to latest 3701.

[NewSlang22]

Hello! I wanted to update my bios to ensure the stability of my 13700k with the provided 3701 update but I was wondering, if I am updating from 2204, are there any additional BIOS updates that I require or can I just update directly from 2204 to 3701?

Hello @NewSlang22 

Generally, you can update the BIOS directly from version 2204 to the latest version 3701.
However, if you have any concerns, you might consider performing incremental updates, such as first updating to version 2802 before proceeding to 3701.
For detailed instructions regarding BIOS updates, please refer to [Motherboard] How to update BIOS of the motherboard? (Including different generation CPUs) and ensure that your data is fully backed up.

Additionally, regarding the Intel i7-13700K CPU, could you please specify the issues you're encountering that require a BIOS update for stability?
Kindly refer to [Intel] July 2024 Update on Instability Reports on Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen Desktop Processors and contact the retailer or supplier for further assistance if needed.

Thank you.
