3.11 Updating BIOS

The ASUS website publishes the latest BIOS versions to provide enhancements on system stability, compatibility, or performance. However, BIOS updating is potentially risky. If there is no problem using the current version of BIOS, DO NOT manually update the BIOS.

Inappropriate BIOS updating may result in the system’s failure to boot. Carefully follow the instructions of this chapter to update your BIOS if necessary.

Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com to download the latest BIOS file for this motherboard.

The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard BIOS setup program.

1. EZ Update: Updates the BIOS in Windows ® environment.

For details, refer to the section 4.3.5 EZ Update.

2. ASUS EZ Flash 2: Updates the BIOS using a USB flash drive.

3. ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3: Restores the BIOS using the motherboard support DVD or a

USB flash drive when the BIOS file fails or gets corrupted.

4. ASUS BIOS Updater: Updates and back ups the BIOS in DOS environment using the motherboard support DVD and a USB flash disk drive.


3.11.1 ASUS EZ Flash 2

ASUS EZ Flash 2 allows you to update the BIOS without having to use a bootable floppy disk or an OS-based utility.

Before you start using this utility, download the latest BIOS from the ASUS website at www.asus.com.

To update the BIOS using EZ Flash 2:

1. Insert the USB flash disk that contains the latest BIOS file to the USB port.

2. Enter the Advanced Mode of the BIOS setup program. Go to the Tool menu to select

ASUS EZ Flash Utility and press <Enter> to enable it.

3. Press <Tab> to switch to the Drive field.

4. Press the Up/Down arrow keys to find the USB flash disk that contains the latest BIOS, and then press <Enter>.

5. Press <Tab> to switch to the Folder Info field.

6. Press the Up/Down arrow keys to find the BIOS file, and then press <Enter> to perform the BIOS update process. Reboot the system when the update process is done.


3-54

• This function can support devices such as a USB flash disk with FAT 32/16 format and single partition only.

• DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system boot failure!

Ensure to load the BIOS default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Optimized Defaults item under the Exit menu. See section 3.10 Exit Menu for details.

3.11.2 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3

The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the

BIOS file when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can restore a corrupted BIOS file using the motherboard support DVD or a USB flash drive that contains the BIOS file.

The BIOS file in the motherboard support DVD may be older than the BIOS file published on the ASUS official website. If you want to use the newer BIOS file, download the file at http://support.asus.com and save it to a USB flash drive.

Recovering the BIOS

To recover the BIOS:

1. Turn on the system.

2. Insert the motherboard support DVD to the optical drive, or the USB flash drive containing the BIOS file to the USB port.

3. The utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file. When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 2 automatically.

4. The system requires you to enter BIOS Setup to recover the BIOS setting. To ensure system compatibility and stability, we recommend that you press <F5> to load default

BIOS values.

DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause system boot failure!

Chapter 3: BIOS setup

3.11.3 ASUS BIOS Updater

4.3.2 Thermal Radar 2

The Thermal Radar 2 comes with these four utilities in one interface:

Thermal Tuning, Thermal Status, Fan Control and DIGI+ PowerControl.

Thermal Tuning

The Thermal Tuning utility allows you to automatically optimize your system’s cooling solution such as the CPU fan, chassis fans, and the TUF turbo fans in just one click.

Thermal Status

The Thermal Status utility allows you to monitor the thermal conditions of your motherboard’s

CPU and VGA zones in real time. With this utility, you can also assess your CPU’s temperature level during system load.

CPU Zone

VGA Zone


Fan Control

The Fan Control utility provides an easy-to-use preset fan profiles that automatically tweaks the fan speed. It also allows you to customize the speed of each fan and save it as a fan profile.

The Fan Overtime is only applicable for the two assistant fans.

• The Fan Overtime is disabled when you enable the ErP item in the BIOS.

• The two assistant fans will use the system’s standby power after shutdown. DO NOT connect too many power-sharing devices as this result to power overload.


Customizing the fan settings

You can customize your fan’s speed using the Smart Mode and RPM (rotations per minute)

Mode.

Smart Mode

Smart Mode allows you to customize the fan’s rotation speed for a certain temperature. With this utility, you can also assign three critical components for the Thermal Radar 2 to monitor.

RPM Mode

The RPM mode allows you to set the fan speed when the temperature is below 75ºC.


DIGI+ Power Control

DIGI+ Power Control utility allows you to adjust the CPU and DRAM power settings for an optimum system efficiency, overall system stability and performance.

Adjusting the CPU power

4-10

CPU Load-line Calibration

CPU Load-line Calibration adjusts the voltage range and controls the system temperature. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions.

CPU Current Capability

CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery.

CPU Power Phase Control

CPU Power Phase Control allows you to get more transient and better thermal performance by increasing the phase number under heavy system loading. To increase VRM efficiency, reduce the phase number under light system loading.

* The system automatically sets the default to [Extreme] when using the Intel ® iGPU.

CPU Power Thermal Control

A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range, and extends the overclocking tolerance to enlarge overclocking potential.

CPU Voltage Frequency

CPU Voltage Frequency affects the VRM transient response and thermal components. Higher VRM frequency gets quicker transient response.

Active Frequency Mode

Active Frequency Mode allows you to enhance the power saving condition of the

CPU. Tick on to enable this item to get a quicker transient response while saving the CPU power.

CPU Power Duty Control

CPU Power Duty Control allows to balance the CPU load based on the temperature or on the current system load.


Adjusting the DRAM power

DRAM Current Capability

A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.

DRAM Voltage Frequency

Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency for system stability or to increase OC range.

DRAM Power Phase Control

Select Extreme for full phase mode to increase system performance or select

Optimized for ASUS optimized phase tuning profile to increase DRAM power efficiency.
