ASUS Z97-A BIOS & EC

BIOS .rar 10.2 MB Shared

BIOS and EC firmware bundle for the ASUS Z97-A desktop motherboard, packed as a 10.2 MB RAR. The name states that both the main system BIOS and embedded controller firmware are included, so two separate images are likely present for two different chips. Reflashing both can help with boards that power on without display or show erratic fan and power behaviour. Identify each chip on the PCB, read and back it up with a programmer, and check each image size against the chip capacity before writing.
