BIOS firmware for the ASUS Z170-K motherboard, in a 12.8 MB RAR archive. No version number is stated in the name, so verify the contents after extracting. A full image can be written to the SPI flash with an external programmer when the board fails to POST after a bad update. ASUS retail files are often CAP capsules with a header that must be removed before flashing via programmer, so check the file size against the chip. Always back up the existing chip first to preserve MAC address and serial data.
