Could the new 1701 bios be the root cause of my problem with the spinning fans on shutdown.
anyone else having this problem?

Updated fine here. iROG2 version changed to RGE2-Z170-0125 from RGE2-Z170-0124.

Anyone using on-board Intel RAID...

This update wiped out my RAID. 4TB. Poof.


It was easy enough to get it back, but gut-wrenching just the same.

Same problem over here with fans not spinning after updating from 1504 to 1601.

CHA_FAN1 - NF-A14 iPPC-2000 IP67 PWM - works correctly in [PWM Mode].
CHA_FAN2 - NF-A14 iPPC-2000 IP67 PWM - only starts spinning when powering on in [DC Mode], switching to [PWM Mode] later works correctly.
CHA_FAN3 - NF-A14 iPPC-2000 IP67 PWM - works correctly in [PWM Mode].
CHA_FAN4 - NF-A14 iPPC-2000 IP67 PWM - only starts spinning when powering on in [DC Mode], switching to [PWM Mode] later works correctly.

Updated to 1701, system reboots and all fans start to spin.
Switched all fans back to [PWM Mode] in UEFI and fan speed goes down.
Turned off system and back on, fan connected to either CHA_FAN2 or CHA_FAN4 doesn't start.
Why would a fan that works in [PWM Mode] only start in [DC Mode]?

PS An option to put the chassis fans in [Auto] mode like the CPU would be useful, or would that require extra hardware?

No need to be cynical, was an honest question (i'm a hardware person, not software). Why wouldn't this be on the current 1701 BIOS, Asus slacking off ?
