No stress, I didn't get round to updating today. The date is based on what I saw on system information. I assumed it was version date but it must refer to something else if it doesn't match
Is 7C84v1B a beta version?
Edit: Nevermind, did a bit of Googling and decided to update.

Has anyone had any problems using the secondary NVME slot of the chipset on this motherboard?
Just tried to install a Netac NV7000 2tb in the secondary slot (unclear if it was the phison or innogrit model).
Doing so resulted in a complete inability of the system to respond to the power button.
Taking the drive out resulted in the same.
Clearing the CMOS with the drive out, and hitting Power got me back to a normal boot.
Putting the drive back resulted in complete inability to respond to the power button.
Clearing the CMOS after the drive was installed resulted in complete inability to respond to the power button.
Taking the drive out, clearing the CMOS with the drive out, and hitting Power got me back to a normal boot.
Does this look like a quirk of the motherboard, or is it 'typical' of a defective SSD?
Many thanks. PgT

Id be testing that drive in another system / the primary slot on the board to confirm if the SSD is good or not.
I recently installed a 990Pro in my 2nd slot, and had no issues at all.

thank you all.
i do have a test PC using a skylake motherboard with an NVME slot, i'll test it in that.

awkward dilemma.
put in the test pc and ran the opensuse installer, sees the disk fine - appears more than happy to write to it.
so, two problems:
1. i do in principle need a bunch of 2tb drives for storage backup, but this one isn't accepted by the main PC (where I wanted it).
2. while it seems to work, i still don't know if its phison or innogrit (my fault) - i only bought it because phison has 3Gb/s full driver transfer (for backups).
seems like it might be better to return this drive and ditch Netac NV7000 2tb (given they cheekily swap different controllers in and out).

Anything of note added by this updated?
ITs always such a pain re-doing all BIOS settings after an upgrade that I am loathed to bother.
I am sure my old Z97m had a better update process, as the settings where retained if you did so via windows. (I think... memory might be hazy)

Installed latest bios last night, so far so good.

If it aint broke don't fix it
I go through the latest BIOS's whilst i'm still configuring (RAM oc usually) but once i'm settled and using it for a while, that's it. I'll only update now if there's an issue worth solving with it.
