barely a month has passed since the first release of BIOS version 1601, we now have version 1701, and unsurprisingly, without any changelog details. any early adopters here? any feedback? I'm dreading the reconfiguration of all the custom BIOS settings I have to make...

Much verbosity, such information. ASUS changelogs ftw

Looks like this update hit all Maximus VIII boards except the Maximus VIII Hero Alpha. Why am I forsaken?

Something new about Aura lighting?

Have any of these BIOs updates included faster memory by any chance?

I have the Ranger, which on the box/manual says 3466OC, but thats way back in 2015 manufactured date. Is there any way faster memory has been supported?
