BIOS Problems

ASUS Z170-K LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Z170-K LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Once I got it working its a very nice motherboard.

Cons: The board was delivered with bios revision 410 and when I first put everything together there was no video output. After trying many things I discovered that the board would work with memory in dimm slots a1 and a2 but not with memory in b1 or b2. Upgrading the bios to version 601 fixed the problem and all four dimm slots now work. I have had a number of ASUS motherboards and this is the first time I have had any trouble. The manual ought to have trouble shooting tips, it ought to include the beep codes produced during POST but does not. The board has a string of LEDs that blink slowly and I still don't know if these mean anything.

Overall Review: A more complete manual and shipping with a later bios would have been good
