Fremont, California (April 14, 2016) -- ASUS today announced support for the upcoming Intel® Core™ i7 X-Series processors and Intel Xeon™ processors*, with UEFI BIOS updates available immediately for ASUS X99 Signature and ROG Series motherboards. These updates contain a number of exclusive ASUS enhancements to extract every ounce of performance from Intel’s latest architecture.

Easy BIOS updates with ASUS USB BIOS Flashback and EZ Flash 2

ASUS X99 Series motherboards include the renowned ASUS USB BIOS Flashback feature, which enables users to apply UEFI BIOS updates with ease. This tool downloads the latest BIOS to a USB flash drive, enabling users to update the ASUS UEFI BIOS quickly and easily. The motherboard does not even need to have a CPU or DRAM modules in place; simply connect the power supply, plug in a FAT32 formatted USB drive, press the USB BIOS Flashback or ROG Connect button and then sit back and wait until the flash process is complete.

Alternatively, users can apply the necessary UEFI BIOS update with the easy-to-use EZ Flash 2 utility — which is built into the UEFI BIOS — using a USB flash disk.

Users keen to take advantage of the power of Intel Core i7 X-Series processors and Intel Xeon processors can visit the ASUS website (http://www.asus.com) and download the relevant UEFI BIOS version today.
