Hi
@@supdude5340 Hello. :)
I love how you put the time stamps soo much easier wish everyone would do this
How can i update my bios if i haven 2 booted up yet.? I bought a ryzen 5 3600 and a rog strix b450 f. Sadly the mobo supports 2nd gen ryzen only. Is there a way without the need to have a 2nd gen cpu?
@@prinsipe4life As far as I know you'll need a 2nd gen CPU in order to update your BIOS. Sorry man.
wish me luck i may never return here
edit: we did it bois the pc didnt explode
I am updating mine right now and I am so scared
@@HopperNation Did it go well?
@@blueknew nope he isnt replying
@@blueknew he died while doing it
@@Ramon06 yes r.i.p :"(
Saved my pc! Had the wrong bios for my CPU and had no way of knowing default settings (had friend set it up for me) and this simple tutorial fixed all of my problems, went from crashing every 30 minutes when gaming to not once in a whole 5 hour session, really happy :>
Literally exact same here hahahaha
It only crashed when gaming?? I am having the same issue and have been since I built this pc with my friend in 2019! It literally full restarts randomly. Temps are fine, plenty of headroom with power supply, vram isn’t an issue.. I have no idea what the issue could be if this doesn’t fix it. But it sounds like you had the exact same issue especially since it only happens in games smh
Thank you for the solid info on bios and how the update process goes. I am new to building pc's and your explanation was flawless, probably gonna watch the rest of your stuff too
I found you via Google as I'm trying to update my cpu from and i5 to i7. You're very concise, informative and knowledgeable. Thanks for the help
when he made the lightning storm sounds that scared the living s***t out of me
2 Years and still helping people out. Thanks so much.
Haven't tried anything yet, but this tutorial still holds up 2 years later. Thanks for the great tutorial!
I love the idea that you explained carefully why and why not update the BIOS coz I'm slightly new to this kinds of things. Thank you.
this didn’t solve my particular issue but i do appreciate you teaching me how to update my bios! it helped me narrow the issue and has gotten me closer to the solution. :)
Thanks for your help. I just updated my Aorus B450 bios from f5 to f64e. Now I can use my new AMD 7 and my new RTX 3060. A wonderful upgrade and your walk through really helped me do it.
built a new pc from nothing and needed to know where to start when it comes to getting drivers and bios updates sorted on a 100% virgin system build... dont even have windows on it yet lol, good video thank you
tysm man, i’m kinda new to pc’s i know a lot but i didn’t even know what BIOS UEFI even were, u went over everything helped me out a lot, thank u man
2 years late to the party BUT I can safely say that I have updated my BIOS thanks to this video! Cheers 🍻
Hey. Just wanted to say these videos are a godsend. I appreciate this a lot!
Cheers for the help mate, was in need up getting my motherboard updated for my Ryzen 5. Found you for exactly this need
You're welcome man. Enjoy. :)
@@Maraksot78 First, great video! Second, I got a question. Building my first PC using the new Ryzen 5600x with an Asus Prime x570-pro mobo. I’ve been told I may need to update the bios based on what version is on the board. So my question is will the mobo even be able to start and enter bios with the 5600x on it if it needs the latest bios to run the 5600x? Thanks in advance!
@@justinwilliams7305 My understanding is no... As far as I know you'll need to have a Ryzen 3000 series CPU in order to update to the BIOS to support a new 5000 series CPU. Of course if you get a motherboard that has already been updated by the motherboard manufacturer then you of course don't need to worry about that but if it hasn't then you'll need an older CPU to do it. There are some motherboards out there that do not require a CPU to update the BIOS but unfortunately I don't know what those boards are off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure the Asus Prime X570 is not one of them though.
I am upgrading to new ryzen 7 5800x3d this was very helpful thank you. You made it very easy to understand the process involved with preparing my PC for the new processor.
very simple, direct to the point. GREAT VIDEO !

Really helpful! Thanks a bunch! I searched for this cuz im building a my first PC.
Excellent video. Updated Bios so my B450 MSI gaming plus would be compatible for the 5800x3d chip. Didn't know the steps needed to complete this. Thanks for your help. I liked and subscribed.
Bought my PC about 3 years ago, Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 MOBO and was curious if I needed to update my BIOS to accomodate future RTX graphics cards and high meg RAM. That's what brought me to this video. Thank you for the information.
Thanks lots, your a life saver.
I came here because I need update my bios on a Asus Prime A320M-K to make tests with Athlon 3000G, I was using a Athlon 200GE and wanted to compare them on tests, your video was very helpful, thanks for the video! ^^
Thank you man very much. For once i dont have to aimlessly look through utube figuring out how to do something. This was the most helpful video ive seen to date
Very structured video I like that
Even though this video is 4yrs old and even tho i have a different MOBO - MSI, I appreciate this how-to. Seems legit and i wanted to make sure that i found the most clear, thoroughly explanation of 'how to' get my Bio update as quick and Easy way Before getting started. Thank you for this and i plan to use your clip as my guidelines. Wish me luck(just waiting to receive my new parts)Thanks again 👍
You just earned your self a new subscriber
First video I seen was on my cpu and then this one helped me out as well thanks for this videos
as somebody who is still new to the pc realm and still learning what i need to do for upgrades and keep up, your channel has been a massive help. thank you!
Thank you I am going to follow this step by step. I've done some of just to see the steps. Okay, thank you again for a simple way for beginners.
I came because I am finally building a pc after playing console for almost 20 years. I had bits of knowledge of pc components and uses but I knew nothing of the systems or afther the building part. Like BIOS or UEFI or CMOS. I am waiting for the B550 boards to launch before building my pc. As to my knowledge they are the budget friendly option of future proofing my rig compared to the X 500 series boards. Ive learned so much of about pc building in the past few days and I thank you for the knowledge!
I'm thinking of upgrading to a new cpu as my cpu rn is really bad so I'm searching for all info for it thank you so much!
I find this video in good I typed how to update BIOS. Thank you very helpful definitely i`m subscribing to your channel.
Great vid thank you so much u make sense
Just purchased a ryzen 3 3100 and needed to update my bios this really helps!
Thank you for the video mate!!! :)
You're welcome. Best of luck to you on your update. :)
BRO. very informative video.
I know this is an old video, but I found it researching issues with a motherboard I have purchased for a budget build. Long story short the BIOS Firmware that comes preinstalled often times will not work as is so, it needs a better version installed. I used to build components on a regular basis, but it has been at least 10 years since I have built anything so I just wanted to make sure I could still do it. Your video came up after a review of the motherboard I purchased, so big brother is still listening ha ha ha. Thanks for the video it has been most helpful.
This is a great video good job on explaining it!! :)
Glad it was helpful!
So i have recently moved from console to pc for the first time in my life and man i had a horizontal day since i unpacked the pc my gpu wasn’t functioning at all and i didnt had any idea what to do i just saw ur tutorial rn about bios and man just so you know you helped me alot like alootttt man i have been sitting here for almost 10-12hrs now
thanks for the help. I plan on watching more of your vids
ps:i subbed
I just built my pc, my friend who also built his pc just before kept telling me to be sure to update my bios. Everything I have is working completely fine and I have no complaints. Taking your advice into account have decided to let it be for now, because I don't absolutely need an update.
Edit: I found this video by looking up how to update my bios.
Just changed from an i7 7700k to a new i9 10850k and this was super helpful thanks mate!
Thankyou without this I would be in tears
Thank you made my motherboard easy to uodate by just following awesome
Man, you're very insightful and not speaking jibberish since I relatively new to trying to learn all this. Subbed with Notifications on.
Thank for the great information. I searched how to update bios because I need to update mine since I'm going to a i7-8700k on my z370-e
This was a very good and detailed video thank you very much. I appreciate the help and I’m building my first pc and was seeing why and if I needed to update my bios but if all my software works I’ll just leave it be (:
Hey man. Came here because my new 2nd hand mobo bios screen looks like its from the 80's and thought a bios update would modernise it aha. I'm now educated. Cheers man
Good video i learn a lot
Great video! The only thing I think you missed is that the USB drive may need to be formatted correctly to FAT32, and that some motherboards may want you to use a certain USB hub. That might just be for BIOS flashback, though.
Thanks a million man.
let me tell this first, I'm Iranian so, "sorry for my bad english."
I bought a sound card and PC won't post when I installed it. the pcie card was OK and I test it on other computers. the pcie slots also were OK, I was so confused. then after 2 days of thinking and watching youtube videos , I realize that maybe this card have some incompatibility to my motherboard. then I went to my motherboard webpage for bios . say to my self " why should i do bios update where as the new beta bios has nothing to do with my problem". last night I saw your video on youtube that mentioned a tip about compatibility of new hardware's on older motherboard's. that moment I remember the description of new beta bios of my motherboard that says "improve new high end graphics card compatibility", then say to myself "hey, GPU card is pcie, and you have a pcie incompatibility problem for pcie x1 sound card".
earlier this morning I updated the bios and install my sound card and PC booted to windows and everything is OK now.
Your video was very very helpful to me. I watched all 13:40 min. full of useful tips for me. I update bios for the first time.
Thanks.
I looked to do a bios update because I have bought 2 P7P55D LE motherboards that are new and I'm going build 2 computers from them using some used and some new parts..As I have never even built a computer before I am taking on a big job lol.. Hopefully thx to the helpful youtube videos I have been able to find my way around some older computers.
Your presentation is very very interesting :) Thanks for your sharing. I sub.
Super video bro. 👌
thank you so much .. great vid
Glad it helped. :)
Your source is absolutely right, I've found your tutorial by searching how to update my bios.
And the reason is: I've build my new gaming PC using ASRock b650m pg riptide and pairing it with a Ryzen 5 7600x. Turns out some AMD's CPU's have problem with fTPM module. So around May, 2022, AMD has sent patch to motherboard manufacturers to issue bios version which rectify this error, but as it turns out that ASRock didn't do this I had horrible stuttering trouble. New version of bios is coming out and I'm educating myself 😊
There is one more solution, to buy TPM module myself, there is a port to install it directly to motherboard, there is some process to follow but is also a viable workaround to my problem.
Anyway thank you for the video! 🤗
I had a blue screen error i hope bios update would fix this error. Great video sir :)
awsome person.
Thanks for the solid and fleshed out info and succint but not rushed step by step walkthrough. Earned yourself a sub 👍
I bought a Corsair Vengeance 6182 pre-built rig last year during the lockdown ( 3700x + 5700xt + X570 inside a Corsair 280x case) and I'm upgrading to a 5950x w/ a larger AIO this weekend and a RTX 3090 (whenever I can get my hands on one down the line lol)
found the video using google, I will need at some stage to change my computer cpu as it is not windows 11 compatible. I just doing the home work learning the different things I need to do to have successful upgrade of the computer. thanks for the clear instructions in the video.
Hey Man. Thanks for your great video. I really like your clear pronunciation and your joke with the storm was really funny (big laugh). I came across your video because I am considering to update my BIOS/UEFI because the new beta version of my MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX supports "Re-size BAR function to enhance GPU performance". As my PC is new and I have still guarantee I am thinking if its worth taking the risk to update it or not. I read in the internet that I would improve performance by max 10%. Thanks for your advice.
Thanks for the info, found this very helpful. Found the video searching for bios update on TH-cam, as I was thinking about updating the bios on a motherboard (Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2) I recently purchased for an upgrade just to have the newest version from the start. In some other vids they update before they even install CPU, (I'll be using that, Ryzen 5-5600G from my old board also a Gigabyte).
Gigabyte has different revisions on their support page, not sure if other boards are the same but as an example the B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 I purchased has the revision number 1.1 on the bottom left corner of the board and the are also Rev 1.0 and 1.2 and the bios versions change as you change revision numbers, why I got an older revision board I don't know, old stock probably but no one mentions this during their videos updating Gigabyte boards though and I'm guessing that rev 1.1 has already been updated to the latest rev 1.0 updates and needs an update to catch up to rev 1.2. The update before the latest 1.1 update states:
• Major vulnerabilities updates, customers are strongly encouraged to update to this release at the earliest.
Credits to "Assaf Carlsbad and Itai Liba from SentinelOne"
• Introduce capsule BIOS support starting this version.
Checksum : E921
Update AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.5
Change default status of AMD PSP fTPM to Enabled for addressing basic Windows 11 requirements (support.microsoft.com/windows/1fd5a332-360d-4f46-a1e7-ae6b0c90645c).
do you think I should at the very least do this update because of strongly encouraged to up date?
sorry to be so long winded, thanks for reading.
Thumbs Up for you Sir i just watched your video and its very detailed .
you got my like and Subscribe :D
Keep it up !

@@fuuzzzy what does "brick" mean?
Hello really good videos love it keep making them. I have a question if I have a Ryzen 3 and I want to upgrade to a 5 or 7 do I have to download the update for my motherboard?
That's how you do a guide. Thank you!
Thank you. That's very kind of you. 🙂
Thanks for your help; I am looking to build a PC and my cpu and motherboard required a possibility of updating of the bios.
Glad to hear the video helped you out. :)
Yo dude looking at changing my cpu and need to update my bios great video 😃
Should I be looking at all my bios settings prior to installation and then setting them up the same?
Great video, and his guy reminds me of Moo Snuckel... am I the only one thinking this??
thank you
The video was brilliant and really informative! Thank you, and I will now begin to update (I hope I don't brick my mobo)!

Now i can update my bios. You made it look easy and simple 👏
Many thanks for the video, just purchased Ryzen 5 3600x for my setup and was having real probs getting it working, windows wouldn't boot, black screen etc, thought I had latest bios but guess not and you've help me alot..😉
hey can you help me please i just got 3600x and got black screen
do i have to put old cpu back in?
extremely helpful video i also passed out waiting for the update to finish
Thanks, I plan to build a PC in a couple of weeks and plan to use a 13th gen intel cpu and will likely need to update the motherboards BIOS to make it compatible if it isn't already.
Sorry I forgot:excellent tutorials you do.
But may you can mention that it seems to be better to update the BIOS first, before installing the new CPU.
I'm planning on buying one of the new Ryzen CPUS and some beef RAM to support my gaming and art. Installing parts? No biggie. Updating the motherboard bios? I'm terrified. Thank you for this video, it's the most helpful one I've found on this topic by far!!
Thanks
Thanks for the video, I just bought Asus Tuff x570 MB and was told I need updated bios to use the AMD 5800x3d. My question is do I need to install the CPU in order to enter the bios and run the flash drive?
