Firmware package for the ASUS Maximus VI Extreme desktop motherboard, version 1603 according to the name, in a 9.42 MB RAR archive. ASUS desktop BIOS files are normally applied with the board's built-in update tools or USB BIOS Flashback. A raw SPI programmer can also be used when the board will not boot. Note that ASUS capsule files often carry an extra header that must be removed before programming the chip directly. Keep a backup of the existing chip, since it holds board-specific data such as the MAC address and serial.
