Revert to older BIOS ASUS M4A78T-E

Hello guys,

I have just updated my BIOS to the latest version from ASUS website using EZ Flash 2. The computer is running ok but the boot time has increased after this update. Since I had no issues with the old BIOS version, I would like to revert to it. Unfortunately EZ Flash keeps telling me that the version is older then the current one and denies update (or downgrade so to say).

Is there any posibility to revert to the older BIOS?

I have tried to find anything on the web and even on ASUS forums but unfortunately there was nothing.

Thank you.

My initial thought is not to downgrade, try disabling the Logo Screen in the BIOS. Every time you Flash the BIOS there's always a risk involved of bricking your MOBO.

Q - How much 'longer' are you talking about?

"I actually was able to downgrade my bios using ezflash at intial boot up (Alt + F2) with Rampage Formula board. I guess we don't have to go through all these hassle.

BTW - I like to thank Mr.Q for introducing the engineering version of AFUDOS.

With the HP USB system format utility ( http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197 ) and this AFUDOS, I can freely update Bios and go back whenever I want to...."

If it were me I won't go any lower than 3303, or 3401 with a 6-core. The latest version -> "Legacy Diskette A" is enabled in BIOS setup. => {Disable} in the BIOS.

I reboot my rig once every week or 2 if that {thank God} and the delays aren't a thing that would make me think twice, I would think twice if I had a problem. The RISKS outweigh the 5 seconds.

Cool! - I'm glad that corrected the issue
