hello! i have upgraded my Bios before using all the methods available, Returned a maximus hero thinking it was the MOBO when i got a dead 8700k through amazon. thinking i had terrbile luck i got my replacement board and intel refunded what i payed for my 8700k. things went smoothly since december 2017. OC's to 5.3ghz (-2AVX) 1.440 Vcore (credits to menthols' settings and patience), 3200mhz ram, prime95 tested for 24 hours. sadly after doing BIOS updates: 0802, 1003, 1101,1301,1401 (using internet through ethernet with temp cable and USB method for the last two.) my luck seeemed to run out. I tried using the revert bios with the light blinking indicating success would always get error code 22 regardless of what i do. swapped all the ramsticks to have 1 at a time each try, tried different brand. Everything was working fine before the failed bios update, i used the flash utility to try and upgrade but it died after it turned off. cant get into bios, cant revert bios etc. I have bought another MOBO and am waiting for it to come. :(. Just a heads up to everyone STAY AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN FROM THIS BIOS UPDATE 1602.
Id like to update everyone, I solved my issue many days ago by just switching the LN2 button on the board. Just to clarify as i saw someone changing my story, i saw the progress bar of the EZ flash utility start and went away from the PC to shower came back 15 min later to see a stuck mobo in q code 22.
I think there are a lot of great people here with the intentions to help out, i cant believe theres people that waste time trolling, moving on my overclock is still stable with this bios
PS: ASUS doesnt even have an updated instructions on renaming the .CAP file, and when i called the people who do tech support, they didnt know that either.
