I'm trying his method instead of the asus method too. Wish me luck! The only difference is that I extracted the files within the USB. What do you think was different in your case?

Your background is the same as mine on my Laptop I was watching this on. Freaked me out for a second. Have to love some of the Webbs images! (amateur astrophotographer here)
Thank God I found your video! I tried to boost the memory speed of my DDR5 RAM and messed things up. Couldn’t even get the keyboard to light up. Fortunately I use 2 PCs so I was able to prep the thumb drive and dl the necessary files on the other computer. Plugged the thumb drive in, pressed the button, the mobo and thumber played nicely and I am up and running. Thank you for the very clear and easy to follow instructions. The part where you mentioned if the light stops flashing after only a short time, to try again or use another thumber was keY! That’s exactly what happened initially. Switched to another drive and all is well. Thanks again and take great care!
Thanks, I don't usually comment, but this guide help with my scenario, I had a new pc build but didnt realize the bios wasn't up to date with my CPU, and that would make my computer turn on, but show no display. I searched up my ASU Z790-F bios version, and then it worked showing my display finally. Short summary: Follow this guide it works!
What do you do if you follow all these instructions and after it completed i turn my pc on and i get no display, with all cables properly installed and double checked
had been preparing for this for about a week, bought a USB drive, installed the necessary BIOS version on it, and prepared everything. But when the motherboard arrived, I decided to check its BIOS version (written near the RAM slots on the mb) and realized it already had the newest BIOS version for this model, so I guess I don’t need to update it after all :D

I want to give you a huge thank you. Like truly huge. I've been having problems with my PC for over three weeks. Games kept crashing, it wouldn't boot, so I had wipe the MB. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I thought it was my PSU, because it's about 9 years old, but I'm using much newer hardware. Installed that, the problems persisted. I found out it was because I had been setting my RAM frequencies to to 6400hz, which is what they say on the modules. I let my motherboard set them automatically, and it kicked them down to 4800z. This did not make me happy. I downloaded a program for my MB not too long ago, and my BIOS was massively out-of-date. I downloaded the new one, did what it said in the manual to update my bios, and I was met which countless black screen for way too long, for way too many times. I followed the very plain and well described tutorial that you've made, and BAM! Update took about 5 minutes. Since then I've been able to put my RAM back up to 6400hz, and zero problems. So yeah, thank you so, so very much for this. You've fixed several weeks of unbearable PC performance in 6 minutes and 37 seconds. I cannot thank you enough. Liking and subscribing which I have done, is certainly not enough. Thank you.

Gonna try this in the morning as currently I feel like crying my CPU and Dram lights have turned on on my b650m pg riptide after trying to re install my Argb fans properly and I’ve tried so many things to narrow it down and attempt a fix except for a bios flash
Just to add an additional piece of information to the puzzle, the USB drive you use needs to be formatted in MBR format. GPT will not work and will produce 3 blinks of the light and then a steady light with no progress.
You only power on the power supply. Do not press power button on the computer to start it up. You need the power supply turned on in order for the motherboard to have power to update.
Since a series 7000 motherboard should support the Ryzen CPU without a BIOS update right off the bat, which method would be preferred for the first BIOS update, performing the update via the BIOS utility or the flashback method? Great video, though. Very helpful.
Well that depends on who you ask. Some will say the flashback method should only be when you can't do it the other way. They feel at seeing more feedback in the Bios utility is better. But my feeling is they are really the same. And from everything that I've read from the manufacturers they mention using the flashback as being the easier way. Really it's a matter of choice. I usually would do it on a new-build with the flashback and just get it out of the way. Of course some say you shouldn't update the BIOS unless you have issues but I always do it on a new-build.
@@KLEEBZTECH ok I did it correctly where the light flashes for like 4-5 minutes then stops, then I push the power button but does not boot up I get an error still on my asus rog 690 hero

Hey sir, thanks for this! Small question. Im flashing Asus TUF x670e plus without cpu and ram. After flashing is done, do i need to take power off, add cpu, gpu and ram? Connect monitor on gpu and fire up pc? Im missing the step when i need to add component. Sorry for newbie question.
@@KLEEBZTECH wait I'm confused? its a fresh new motherboard, how do i do that when it still has no windows. im new sorry. or just follow instructions above and not update ME till windows is installed. ty
This is really different from how I used to update the BIOS on my ASUS Z170-A . With that one you could even do it from within Windows IIRC. So you can't even do it from within the BIOS anymore? I mean this does look pretty foolproof, but it's awkward getting to the back of my case (it's on the floor under my desk). Assuming you have to do a full shutdown first. My current board is a Prime X670E Pro WiFi.
I'm using an Asus Z170-A, and there is no bios slot for USB or flash button, I clicked on this video for that exact problem since you put that motherboard in the title lol
Just to make sure I got this straight......I'm going to do my first build within a week. I get the flashing of the BIOS (without anything on the MB)..Great job explaining that!!!! But I've also been reading that you should update the ME driver and FW first before doing the BIOS update. So to me that means installing Windows 11 first with CPU, Memory, Storage, etc., correct? I really want to update the BIOS first because I want to make sure that the MB is ready for my 14th Gen CPU, Mem, Storage, etc). Can I update the BIOS first then build and install Windows 11 and update the ME drivers and FW after that? In what order do I follow the steps?
Quick question, what about Intel ME download before bios? I can't really do it before bios update in my case because I'm building brand new pc. I see one guy already asked but not sure what to do exactly? Windows will automatically update it?
@@KLEEBZTECH Hey man hope you’ll reply Quick I have the Asus ROG strix Z690-A Gaming wifi D4 as I put the USB device on my pc on the bios marked on it. I tried to follow my manual motherboard as it says “the utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file, When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 3 automatically” And I don’t see any changes in my bios screen And then I tried to follow your method.. as I put the usb with the BIOS file I press the little button with a stick and I waited for almost 2 minutes and it didn’t flash and my BIOS screen doesn’t have any changes again. What is the solution of this man? please help btw you have new sub❤
If you fuckup the flashback during, since this is internal can you just restart the process and try again unlike a regular BIOS flash? Or will you brick your motherboard?
If something goes wrong in theory you should be able to do the flashback method and do it again. I have only needed to do it once so really can't say exactly how reliable that is.
Understand. It used to for me as well. But honestly it is rare I run into issues these days and when I do it is usually a defective motherboard that gets replaced. Nothing you can do about that.
There is not always a way to know for sure. But if a new motherboard that has not been on the market for a couple years then likely it has an early version installed. If they improved support for a CPU you are installing it is likely that you will need to update. I personally update to the latest on a new build and then only update in the future if needed.
Thank you for this, perfectly explained! I just put together my new build, it has a i5-1:600k , asus z690-I gaming, ddr 5 and 1tb m. I, is not posting at all, i tried everything except updating the bios, could i use this method to make my 13th gen cpu to run? I don’t have a 12th gen laying around with me to test if that works , thanks again!
for me, after the bios flashback (3.5 min), the boot up did not just lead to updated bios. I got message saying hold up we need to flash bios before we can continue. It then rebooted a few times before it went into bios with latest version. Difference might have been my bios also included latest ME. Mine was a new build ... with only the bios flashback as the source for the code. I just find it strange that no one else has mentioned this behaviour.
what do you mean by "if the pc is already assembled" "do not power up"? You do have to turn the power on to be able to run the bios Flashback or? Can someone explain the nuance ?
Does ASUS TUF GAMING B760-PLUS WIFI DDR4 support this feature? Also do I need to flash the bios to install 14th gen CPU on this motherboard or should the stock BIOS be enough to run this CPU?
From what I can tell it does not support BIOS flashback and I do not see a button so I would guess not. Looking at the support page it seems you would need an update from a few months ago to run 14th gen and I doubt a new board would have the latest BIOS versions.
I have little experience with Asus Crash free BIOS but my understanding is it only works when it detects a corrupt BIOS and you still need compatible components.
I want to update a new TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI Mainboard without CPU and RAM for the next AMD ryzen 9000 3D CPUs. Can the BIOS Flashback via USB Stick be done without CPU and RAM? Or must there be an old compatible CPU on Board to make the New BIOS Update that supports 9000 3D?
Hi, im just about to buy a z790-a asus rog motherboard, but dont have a CPU yet. Can I still do this procedure with aboslutely nothing added to the motherboard appart from the 24-pin power cable?
Hello, I am about to do bios update and some tweaking on my ASUS board and have some quetions : 1. If my system wont boot up due to bad tweaking (RAM settings or other), and i am no longer able to access BIOS, can I possibly just use this method to Flashback bios from USB (same version) ??? Will that work ? I would dodge the CMOS battery /header reset. 2. Lets say I want to go back to previous version of BIOS, if the new one is not stable. Is this still possible with this Flashback USB method ?
I haven't tested on Asus boards if you can reflash the same version. I know with others when I have tried that it doesn't update because it detects the same version. And personally going the other route with the CMOS battery is probably the safer route. As for flashing previous versions you would have to check the BIOS updates and see if any notes about that. I know I have seen some that say you can't flash a previous version after a specific update.
Do you have to format it to FAT32? I am currently updating my bios with instructions from the motherboards manual and it never mentioned that. Just thought I'd check videos on my laptop while I wait lol
It is possible that they have changed things when it comes to that. But usually they don't change things when it comes to the BIOS very quickly. I would usually still do it myself with FAT32 but if you do it a different way and it works would love to know.
@@KLEEBZTECH I tried, but nothing happened. I let it sit for like 20 minutes after the light on the back stopped flashing, and when I turned on my pc it was normal with no update. .-.
please answer me.. i just did and flashing ended in 3-4 min on asus b660-A wifi mobo.. is this normal or its too fast to end flashing? should i intall cpu and open pc or need try again? bcs asus on support site says “depending on bios size will completed in 8 minutes”
I just went back and checked the original video in real time and mine took about 3 or 4 minutes for the last two updates I did. I actually flashed it to an older version since it was already updated so I could make the video so I did it twice. Both times were around 4 minutes.
hi i have asus rog strix 650E-F now i wait for new ryzen 7900x3D what is better before update bios before inserting a new processor or when instaled new procesor on motherboard and after update bios ?
Just upgraded my sons PC turned it on and Nothing. No Picture Detected and None of the Peripherals turn on. The Fans are on and the AIO is on too, (Motherboard Asus B650 plus wifi, AMD Ryzen 5 7600x, Crucial DDR5 4800mhz RAM) Hopefully this will help.
Hard to say but I did a quick look at that board and should support all CPUs. But could be something like the RAM. I would check the support page and check if the exact RAM is verified to work. That is sometimes an issue.
@@KLEEBZTECH thanks for the reply. As you said in the Video the BIOS Flash didn't work first time so I formatted the USB Stick and redownloaded the BIOS Update and this time it worked and the Board RAM light. took both sticks out and just swapped them around and jobs a Good'un. Now just reinstalling Window etc.
So I recently changed my settings from Normal to Power Saving in the bios (ROG B660-A) because the 13700k cpu was running way too hot 95-100 Celsius in cinebench r23. It did change the temperature(70-75 C), but it lowered too much the performance and the rgb lights are not turning on anymore. Any changes I make to the bios, like restoring back to default, or change Normal to Power Saving and vice versa doesn’t help to bring it back to Normal. I tried flash ez tool for the newest bios version(no results), now tried this method, flash backed to a previous version and yet no results. Still works like in power saving mode. I would leave it like that, because the performance I get is enough for me, but without rgb is kinda weird…
My asus rog won't work with 13500. I did BIOS flashback latest update which went as expected but then I'm getting fans and lights working but nothing in monitor (connected to motherboard since I don't use graphics card)
I did a bios update and something happened where it's now stuck in bios update forever Tried to reset cmos, nothing, is there a way to stop this bios updates the flbk light keeps flashing green when I power on the computer, it won't turn on just stuck with flashing green light Unsure if you know how to fix this?
Hello, My Mobo ( B450 Mortar Max ) has Bios Flash back. My pc can boot up but it suddenly went off becuase of false cpu temp that it reaches 90-127 c that send to mobo. Msi already released the bios update that will correct the cpu temp and fan speed but in beta version. Can i use that method that you did in updating my bios? Thankyou
@@tayfuraltinay1894 hello, im already done flashing new bios update to my mobo and it works, gone the prompt overheating issue before booting up. Thanks again.
So im doing this litle project and have some parts ordered. What should i do when they arive, should i first assemble the pc and see if the cpu needs the bios update or straight on just instal the newest bios update? The cpu and the motherboard is nothing special, its the (Ryzen 5 5500 and Asus prime b450m-k II).
But if my board doesn´t have flashback, I am screwed. Because my new Z790 plus wifi came with old FW and my procesor is 14. generation KF. So Asus made such great TUF board ... but forgot to include this crucial function.
It is pretty random when it comes to this stuff. It's not the same as when you're running the operating system. I'm not sure entirely why. Sometimes it's just a matter of formatting again I have seen solve any issues.
Mmmmm I know enough to pretend like I know, but that won’t get me very far here. If you wouldn’t mind letting me know how I can get ahold of you to so you can give me a couple of pointers, I would be happy to sub to your channel with every account in the house.

hello. Can you explane me how to make bios update like this steps, on ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI , on this MB do not have extra USB port and button for bios.
Without BIOS flashback feature you will need to update with this method which does require that the computer can boot into the BIOS: th-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/w-d-xo.html

@@PapagenoX09 you can also do in the bios. I do have a video on that as well.
I'm using an Asus Z170-A, and there is no bios slot for USB or flash button, I clicked on this video for that exact problem since you put that motherboard in the title lol
Some Z170 boards do support it. It all depends on the model.
Just to make sure I got this straight......I'm going to do my first build within a week. I get the flashing of the BIOS (without anything on the MB)..Great job explaining that!!!! But I've also been reading that you should update the ME driver and FW first before doing the BIOS update. So to me that means installing Windows 11 first with CPU, Memory, Storage, etc., correct? I really want to update the BIOS first because I want to make sure that the MB is ready for my 14th Gen CPU, Mem, Storage, etc). Can I update the BIOS first then build and install Windows 11 and update the ME drivers and FW after that? In what order do I follow the steps?
That would only be if you already have Windows installed. Otherwise you can do it after.
Quick question, what about Intel ME download before bios? I can't really do it before bios update in my case because I'm building brand new pc. I see one guy already asked but not sure what to do exactly? Windows will automatically update it?
I believe they say to do it before the bios update because if you already have Windows installed you should. Otherwise you should be good.
@@KLEEBZTECH Hey man hope you’ll reply Quick
I have the Asus ROG strix Z690-A Gaming wifi D4 as I put the USB device on my pc on the bios marked on it. I tried to follow my manual motherboard as it says “the utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file, When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 3 automatically”
And
I don’t see any changes in my bios screen
And then I tried to follow your method..
as I put the usb with the BIOS file I press the little button with a stick and I waited for almost 2 minutes and it didn’t flash and my BIOS screen doesn’t have any changes again.
What is the solution of this man? please help btw you have new sub❤
@shadowkage6403 same situation... wild it is not more streamline
My z790 does not have any bios drive in the back.
Me too
Mine is z790 tuf plus wifi d4
It is required to download specific drivers before update bios
If you fuckup the flashback during, since this is internal can you just restart the process and try again unlike a regular BIOS flash? Or will you brick your motherboard?
If something goes wrong in theory you should be able to do the flashback method and do it again. I have only needed to do it once so really can't say exactly how reliable that is.
Brilliant … thank you muchly 🤗
You’re welcome 😊
Flashing BIOS gives me anxiety. But I will follow this video once I buy my new PC. Thanks!
Understand. It used to for me as well. But honestly it is rare I run into issues these days and when I do it is usually a defective motherboard that gets replaced. Nothing you can do about that.
@@KLEEBZTECHYesterday I finally bought and built my PC. It worked like a charm, thanks!
sir sorry for bother , at 4:32 should i turn on my switch on ground after i turn on the switch on psu??
Not sure what you mean. Once you turn on the power supply you can then proceed. Do not boot the computer though if assembled.
@@KLEEBZTECH thx sir i have try it already no boot computer and update my bios already :D thx for video~~
Thanks for sharing, very informative. However, if you have a brand new uninstalled motherboard how do you know the BIOS needs updating? Thanks.
There is not always a way to know for sure. But if a new motherboard that has not been on the market for a couple years then likely it has an early version installed. If they improved support for a CPU you are installing it is likely that you will need to update. I personally update to the latest on a new build and then only update in the future if needed.
Thank you for this, perfectly explained! I just put together my new build, it has a i5-1:600k , asus z690-I gaming, ddr 5 and 1tb m. I, is not posting at all, i tried everything except updating the bios, could i use this method to make my 13th gen cpu to run? I don’t have a 12th gen laying around with me to test if that works , thanks again!
ye it should work + you wont do anything bad by trying it
If the motherboard have b660 chipset you have to flash bios for 13 gen to work but as i said this should work
If the motherboard supports BIOS flashback then I would give it a try. Especially with a new build since it is probably outdated a bit.
@@KLEEBZTECH thanks much!
@@tongoso did it work and could u update to the latest version directly?
for me, after the bios flashback (3.5 min), the boot up did not just lead to updated bios. I got message saying hold up we need to flash bios before we can continue. It then rebooted a few times before it went into bios with latest version. Difference might have been my bios also included latest ME. Mine was a new build ... with only the bios flashback as the source for the code.
I just find it strange that no one else has mentioned this behaviour.
On rare occasions there can be things that are updated on first boot like that. It is not common.
Great Vid, thank you!
Your great for this bro thank you
Can you do this if you already have an older bios version installed? I just want to update to a newer bios version.
Yes this is to update whatever you currently have to the newer version. It will replace the BIOS currently installed.
what do you mean by "if the pc is already assembled" "do not power up"?
You do have to turn the power on to be able to run the bios Flashback or? Can someone explain the nuance ?
Yes you need to turn on the power switch on the power supply but do not boot up the computer.
is it fine if i have to copy it to my usb drive? it just automatically saved it to my downloads so i copied it over to the usb drive
yup
@@KLEEBZTECH thanks man
Does ASUS TUF GAMING B760-PLUS WIFI DDR4 support this feature? Also do I need to flash the bios to install 14th gen CPU on this motherboard or should the stock BIOS be enough to run this CPU?
From what I can tell it does not support BIOS flashback and I do not see a button so I would guess not. Looking at the support page it seems you would need an update from a few months ago to run 14th gen and I doubt a new board would have the latest BIOS versions.
@@KLEEBZTECH uh, okay. But I see it has something called Asus Crash free BIOS. Would it work or not?
I have little experience with Asus Crash free BIOS but my understanding is it only works when it detects a corrupt BIOS and you still need compatible components.
I want to update a new TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI Mainboard without CPU and RAM for the next AMD ryzen 9000 3D CPUs. Can the BIOS Flashback via USB Stick be done without CPU and RAM? Or must there be an old compatible CPU on Board to make the New BIOS Update that supports 9000 3D?
Hi, im just about to buy a z790-a asus rog motherboard, but dont have a CPU yet. Can I still do this procedure with aboslutely nothing added to the motherboard appart from the 24-pin power cable?
If it supports bios flashback.
thanks, yep it does@@KLEEBZTECH
Im planning on upgrading my 12700k to a 14700k but once i take the 12700k chip out will the motherboard go back to default factory setting?
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Hello, I am about to do bios update and some tweaking on my ASUS board and have some quetions :
1. If my system wont boot up due to bad tweaking (RAM settings or other), and i am no longer able to access BIOS, can I possibly just use this method to Flashback bios from USB (same version) ??? Will that work ? I would dodge the CMOS battery /header reset.
2. Lets say I want to go back to previous version of BIOS, if the new one is not stable. Is this still possible with this Flashback USB method ?
I haven't tested on Asus boards if you can reflash the same version. I know with others when I have tried that it doesn't update because it detects the same version. And personally going the other route with the CMOS battery is probably the safer route. As for flashing previous versions you would have to check the BIOS updates and see if any notes about that. I know I have seen some that say you can't flash a previous version after a specific update.
Lets hope this is the reason my 13th gen cpu didn’t work…will try this when i get home , thank you for the amazing video
Good chance. You can always look on the support page to find that info out usually.
Thanks ☺️
You're welcome!
sorry, is the cpu,ram, gpu already installed or not?
Do you have to format it to FAT32? I am currently updating my bios with instructions from the motherboards manual and it never mentioned that. Just thought I'd check videos on my laptop while I wait lol
It is possible that they have changed things when it comes to that. But usually they don't change things when it comes to the BIOS very quickly. I would usually still do it myself with FAT32 but if you do it a different way and it works would love to know.
@@KLEEBZTECH I tried, but nothing happened. I let it sit for like 20 minutes after the light on the back stopped flashing, and when I turned on my pc it was normal with no update. .-.
Can you use this method but instead download the drivers related to lan network/ wifi
please answer me.. i just did and flashing ended in 3-4 min on asus b660-A wifi mobo.. is this normal or its too fast to end flashing? should i intall cpu and open pc or need try again? bcs asus on support site says “depending on bios size will completed in 8 minutes”
I just went back and checked the original video in real time and mine took about 3 or 4 minutes for the last two updates I did. I actually flashed it to an older version since it was already updated so I could make the video so I did it twice. Both times were around 4 minutes.
Did this work for anybody who tried using ai suite 3 and couldn't use the ex installer?
hi i have asus rog strix 650E-F now i wait for new ryzen 7900x3D what is better before update bios before inserting a new processor or when instaled new procesor on motherboard and after update bios ?
Using this method it should make no difference.
Just upgraded my sons PC turned it on and Nothing. No Picture Detected and None of the Peripherals turn on. The Fans are on and the AIO is on too, (Motherboard Asus B650 plus wifi, AMD Ryzen 5 7600x, Crucial DDR5 4800mhz RAM) Hopefully this will help.
Hard to say but I did a quick look at that board and should support all CPUs. But could be something like the RAM. I would check the support page and check if the exact RAM is verified to work. That is sometimes an issue.
@@KLEEBZTECH thanks for the reply. As you said in the Video the BIOS Flash didn't work first time so I formatted the USB Stick and redownloaded the BIOS Update and this time it worked and the Board RAM light. took both sticks out and just swapped them around and jobs a Good'un. Now just reinstalling Window etc.
So I recently changed my settings from Normal to Power Saving in the bios (ROG B660-A) because the 13700k cpu was running way too hot 95-100 Celsius in cinebench r23. It did change the temperature(70-75 C), but it lowered too much the performance and the rgb lights are not turning on anymore. Any changes I make to the bios, like restoring back to default, or change Normal to Power Saving and vice versa doesn’t help to bring it back to Normal. I tried flash ez tool for the newest bios version(no results), now tried this method, flash backed to a previous version and yet no results. Still works like in power saving mode. I would leave it like that, because the performance I get is enough for me, but without rgb is kinda weird…
Strange...
My asus rog won't work with 13500. I did BIOS flashback latest update which went as expected but then I'm getting fans and lights working but nothing in monitor (connected to motherboard since I don't use graphics card)
This feature is only available on specific boards. Not every board has it.
I did a bios update and something happened where it's now stuck in bios update forever
Tried to reset cmos, nothing, is there a way to stop this bios updates the flbk light keeps flashing green when I power on the computer, it won't turn on just stuck with flashing green light
Unsure if you know how to fix this?
Can you tell a way, if the usb flashdrive really as Fat32 after doing the process whit Rufus?
if you want to manually flash bios without flash back you shouldnt use renamer right?
Correct.
Hello, My Mobo ( B450 Mortar Max ) has Bios Flash back. My pc can boot up but it suddenly went off becuase of false cpu temp that it reaches 90-127 c that send to mobo. Msi already released the bios update that will correct the cpu temp and fan speed but in beta version. Can i use that method that you did in updating my bios?
Thankyou
Yes, using USB BIOS flashback is also recommended in these cases.
@@tayfuraltinay1894 hello, im already done flashing new bios update to my mobo and it works, gone the prompt overheating issue before booting up. Thanks again.
hi i have mother board asus b350 and i have problem >>>>> the Q-Flash Plus button is not found >>> what i do ??
If there's no Q flash plus button then that probably means your board doesn't support it. Does it have a USB port that indicates bios update?
So im doing this litle project and have some parts ordered. What should i do when they arive, should i first assemble the pc and see if the cpu needs the bios update or straight on just instal the newest bios update?
The cpu and the motherboard is nothing special, its the (Ryzen 5 5500 and Asus prime b450m-k II).
Personally I usually update first to avoid issues. But really up to you.
@@KLEEBZTECH Okay, thank you
Better than Asus's own video 🤣
But if my board doesn´t have flashback, I am screwed. Because my new Z790 plus wifi came with old FW and my procesor is 14. generation KF. So Asus made such great TUF board ... but forgot to include this crucial function.
Yeah I don't understand why they don't put this feature on more of those boards.
What are the cases when a USB 3.0 will not work for this? I thought as long as you put the USB 3.0 in a 2.0 slot its fine.
It is pretty random when it comes to this stuff. It's not the same as when you're running the operating system. I'm not sure entirely why. Sometimes it's just a matter of formatting again I have seen solve any issues.
I have a broken bios flash button on my asus strix 670e-f. Anyway to active the bios flash without the button?
Well... Not that I can think of unless you know a little about electronics. But not something I would try to explain in comments.
Mmmmm I know enough to pretend like I know, but that won’t get me very far here. If you wouldn’t mind letting me know how I can get ahold of you to so you can give me a couple of pointers, I would be happy to sub to your channel with every account in the house. I count about 10 😅 or point me in the right direction would be much obliged.
hello. Can you explane me how to make bios update like this steps, on ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI , on this MB do not have extra USB port and button for bios.
Without BIOS flashback feature you will need to update with this method which does require that the computer can boot into the BIOS: th-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/w-d-xo.html
so if it only went like you said flashed seconds and turned to solid green then bios update never worked right?
Most likely not.
My motherboard is tuf gaming b550M-E and the motherboard is not flashing it flash for 3 times then it has the ligh of the bios update always on and not turnig off
Have you tried any other USB drives? That is often the issue.
Is this method going to work on Rog strix z790 hero??? Please let me know. I am so confused.
If it has the BIOS flashback button it supports the method.
