Crosshair V Form Z Bios Updates?

MenaceRx

Version 2101

Is that still the last BIOS for the board? Will we be getting any newer BIOS or am I going to have to buy a new board for Windows 10 and other supported technologies.

Hi MenaceRx
Yes that is the latest 2101 and no, you will not have to buy a new MB.
I am sure ASUS will continue supporting this MB for W10 release.

I created my own modded 2101 CVFZ that has most up to date RAID ROM. (see my other posts about CVFZ not being able to use Samsung 850Evos in RAID).

And no, it didn't help. Samsungs still don't work in raid.

I use this Thread, instead of create a new one.

I Updateted to the latest Version 2101, after that i get some messages from AI Suit that some temps are to high (but not in real), that some fans are not working (i have no fans on board connected, only cpu) and so on.

DId some one know this problem? What can i do? I wanted to ask here first befor i do something like install the bios again or change somehting in ai suit.

Would be great if someone could help me with this problem.

Ai Suit doesn't work to good. It gives false reading with just about every one. I UN-installed it and use different monitoring software that works a lot better..like HwInfo or Hardwaremonitor.
Chris...Have a nice day.

I am still on 1901, thought I had gone up to the most current version. Anyway I have never had any issues with AI Suite. I use it to monitor my H60 liquid cooling efficiency on the CPU and all my case fans. Mobo stays between 24 and 27C, cpu between 27 and 38C depending on the load.

I installed the update, and things seem a little smoother. However, I did this right after taking a 16GB kit of G.Skill Trident X 2400Mhz mem out of my machine. Now running a single set of 16GB (2x8GB) kit, so I have to take that into consideration as well.

More than lightly your DIMM configuration is what got you stable rather than the Bios update. As far as I can tell the only change Bios rev 2201 was for some USB device compatibility.
I am still on 2002 and imo its not worth the risk updating, if your system runs fine.
