ASUS Announces Support for Upcoming Intel Core i7 X-Series Processors
ASUS today announced support for the upcoming Intel Core i7 X-Series processors and Intel Xeon processors, with UEFI BIOS updates available immediately for ASUS X99 Signature, TUF, and ROG Series motherboards.
Easy BIOS updates with ASUS USB BIOS Flashback and EZ Flash 2
ASUS X99 Series motherboards include the renowned ASUS USB BIOS Flashback feature, which enables users to apply UEFI BIOS updates with ease. This tool downloads the latest BIOS to a USB flash drive, enabling users to update the ASUS UEFI BIOS quickly and easily. The motherboard does not even need to have a CPU or DRAM modules in place; simply connect the power supply, plug in a FAT32 formatted USB drive, press the USB BIOS Flashback or ROG Connect button and then sit back and wait until the flash process is complete.
Alternatively, users can apply the necessary UEFI BIOS update with the easy-to-use EZ Flash 2 utility - which is built into the UEFI BIOS - using a USB flash disk.

They really should warn about this though, i remember a lot of people bricking boards or at least needing to replace the Bios chip back when that Ivy update happened.
Just finished updating the BIOS to v 3005 on Asus X99-A/USB 3.1 and now I have lost manual control of my fan 2 and 4 in my case. With old 2101 I was able to control the fan speed manually. I am in the processing of testing out rest of the connectors !!!
CPU and CPU OPT fan seems to be working fine with this bios.
I had that same problem with one case fan connector on my board.
Here I have my fans in Halt mode perfectly fine after the bios update.
