    As lot of you guys know, there is the new bios update.

    Usually all updates have posted information under the downloading page to show which specific improvements or bugs are addressed. In this case, that section is literally blank, which very very very rarely happens.

    I am trying to figure out what exactly they addressed with the new bios update!

    Definitely not fan speed profile. Psssh. That's for sure.
