Hello,
I have tried it, but I didn't had much time on hand at the PC, the only problem I saw so far are some serious FPS drops in games and it's pretty severe.

tries to cut off the power to the motherboard , wait 3 minutes and again by the current, otherwise proceed with a " CLEARCMOS "
P.S before working properly ? you have the latest drivers installed the ROG Front Base ?

Same here.

Anyone know how to flash back to 2012 after updating to 2401?

Update: seems that you can't downgrade directly to 2012 from bios 2401.
I managed to downgrade to 2304 (front base is now working directly from the bios)

We really need a change log here. We are not 2 year olds that figure out if we want to update a bios or not. We buy 300 plus dollar ROG boards for a reason. Improved system stability is not a change log. Can an admin post a real change log so we can make an educated decision as to whether or not we need to update...................... After saying what i think needs to be said...This bios did seem to improve sli communication and or pcie functionality. . My 980's are running smoother than ever even in a screwed up game like watchdogs. A REAL CHANGE LOG PLEASE...
