Question regarding BIOS 77 for NUC8i5BEH

[Trial-Member]

Hi all,

Yesterday I updated my BIOS to 77. I had a brief look to the Notes and was wondering about some information given.

Has somebody an idea what Intel means, wenn they say ...

Fixed issue with basic standard speed performance

or is there more information on this that I haven't found?

Hello Trial-Member,

Thank you for submitting your question on this Intel® Community.

We will do further research about this. What is the model number of the Intel® NUC kit you own?

Yea, please do not use ambiguous titles such as "NUC8". This describes a large number of NUC systems, kits and boards. The naming convention for NUC product codes is detailed here. For your particular case, you should have use CH, IN, BE, HV or HV, whichever it is.

Sorry, I was too vague in the device specification. It's a NUC8i5BEH.

BTW: In the past (dome month ago) there were different Forum Pages for the models. I am missing this feature ...

Hello all,

I think the Bios 0077 has a issue. It doesn´t work with my M.2 SSD Samsung 979 EVO 500GB. I made a Downgrade to 0075 an all works well.

Hi @BMeis1​ ,

Do you mean a 970 EVO?

Haven´t found anything like 979 EVO.

I have a 970 EVO (MZ-V7S1T0BW) using as System Drive and a 850 EVO (MZ-75E1T0B) for internal Backups.

Both work fine on my NUC8i5BEH with BIOS 77.

In another NUCi5BEH I have a 850 EVO (MZ-N5E1T0BW) installed as System Drive and a 860 EVO (MZ-76E1T0B) for internal Backups.

Both work fine with BIOS 77.

Have you checked the Samsung Firmware using Samsung Magician Software?

My Firmware Versions are:

970 EVO M.2 = 2B2QEXE7

850 EVO SATA = EMT02B6Q

850 EVO M.2 = EMT21B6Q

860 EVO SATA = RVT04B6Q

Hi Trial-Member,

yes, I mean the 970 EVO M.2. The Firmware release is 2B2QEXE7.

I have a NUC8i7BEH, Build J72688-303. BIOS 75 makes no problems, BIOS 77 creates al lot of sudden death.

Thats strange.

OK, I have a NUC8i5BEH (instead of i7), but I can't imagine that this is the reason for the problems.

I have installed the BIOS 77 and absolutely no problems with the above mentioned SSDs.

Hello Trial-Member,

We would like to update this thead.

Fixed issue with basic standard speed performance: This is a fixed that was implemented with the BIOS update and has to do with processor speed/performance.
