Maximus Gene V Bios Update

Hi 8 Pack

I'm currently running the 0903 bios on my maximus gene, i don't have any issues apart from how long the intel lan takes to boot up, but i was wondering if there was any point updating it?

Might i get better/lower volts overclock on 2700k (at 4.6 at the moment) or should i just leave well alone??

OK so i've found the intel utility for updating the lan but it's asking me to do stuff in the command prompt window - which i'm a little fuzzy about, can someone help me out - this is what it says to do

82579VSKU.exe Version 1.2.2

Tool to update the NVRAM for the Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet PHY
Copyright (C) 2012 Intel Corporation

Three tools are included, to support three different operation systems (Windows 32 bit; Windows 64 bit; DOS).

Steps to run the update tool:

1. Download the utility from the Intel download center
2. Select the correct tool file name based on the operating system installed
3. Open a command prompt window with administrator privileges
4. Run the executable file from the common prompt
5. The NVM image will be updated. Reboot the computer for best results.

Usage: [Tool_file_name] [options]
-log [filename] - generate log info
-report [filename] - generate report file
-nosilent - display the user interface

Example command line using the Windows* 64 bit operating system:
82579VSKUW64e -nosilent

I'm on windows 7 64 so the filename above is correct...

Hmm I'm getting c:\ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file...???

i did this

C:\Users\Dave\Downloads\82579VSKU\Win64e\82579VSKUW64e.exe which seemed to do something - the network icon went off for a bit and i updated the drivers which now seem fine...is there a way of checking which version of firmware i'm on and if it's correct??
