The new release fixes E5-1680 CPU instability issue

Today, EVGA’s team has rolled out a new BIOS update developed for its X99 Micro, FTW, and Classified motherboard models, namely version 1.15, which resolves the ELEETX memory information read error, the E5-1680 CPU instability issue, and more.

This new update allows owners to disable CSM items directly without having to change launch video mode, adds support for NVMe bootable devices, and fixes POSTing issue encountered with certain memory kits of 2667 RAM.

In addition to that, BIOS 1.15 also resolves USB keyboard and mouse problems regarding the ability to wake up system after shutdown on Window 8, and changes the USB profile in order to be compatible with R114.

When it comes to installing EVGA’s release, first of all you should bear in mind that performing this task is recommended only when the newer version specifically solves an issue that bothered you until now, or includes a change that you can really make use of.

Therefore, if you want to flash your board’s BIOS, save and extract the appropriate archive for your device model, make sure you have loaded the BIOS default settings (do not install on overclocked values), and close all programs and processes that might interfere with the upgrade.

Now, locate and run the “update.bat” file, press “Y” to initiate the installation, and allow your X99 motherboard to do its job. Do not turn off or reboot the system during this process, as this can lead to serious device malfunctions or even render your board unusable.

However, if the flash box doesn’t appear or closes immediately, then save the archive content onto a FAT32 USB drive, and execute the included .bin file from a DOS command prompt.

With this in mind, download EVGA X99 BIOS 1.15 for your specific model, carefully apply it on your device, and constantly check our website to be aware when a newer version is available for your product.
