BIOS Flashing question

[c0d3man]

Hi there, new to the forums, just had a quick question --- I just ordered a new EVGA X58 SLI board and I'm seeing new BIOS's for this thing every week. Am I gonna have to install every revision one after another, or can I just install the most up to date one (Which is the SZ1N) and it will include all the hotfixes of the previous revisions with it?

Latest BIOS covers all other versions inclusively. Install latest version, not necessary to install previous versions when you do this.

Yeah, but why flash unless you have to? I would wait and try the board as is before flashing. Sometimes the original bios version works best, especially if overclocking. I've had a few dead boards from bad flashes. I would wait and see before flashing.

I only wish that it's gonna be that simple for me because I also happened to order some DDR3 1600 RAM along with the board and I'm gonna have to flash the bios right off the bat just to take full advantage of the RAM. (I spent hours reading up on this board before I got it lol)
