thanks for the demo. I actually own a pair of Yamaha NS10T speaker... do you think it would be a good match with hte CR-420 receiver ? Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your clear explanation! I followed your video and everything worked like a charm. (I am always a bit scary about updating but your clear explanation convinced me it was possible for me too 😇). One last tip maybe to add. Your telling everyone precisely how to start the update but when is it finished? I found out I had to wait until the flash led has stopped flashing, and than i should hit the power button on the chassis to start the pc. Sounds logical ofcourse, but when i am busy with such a delicate operation It is also good to know when exactly the update has finished. maybe you said so but i could not find it.😊 ps: my Motherboard is an ASUS ROG Strix X670E-F Gaming WiFi

3 years later you’re helping me with my first ever pc build with the new ryzen 9000 series God bless 🫡

Great video 🙂

I'm having difficulty figuring out which is M.2_2, M.2_3, amd M.2_4. They are not labeled (which surprises me) and the manual is not clear

Thank you, bro.

Thanks for the tutorial! I went from a 7950x3d to a 9800x3d, but my previous bios was bugged because it would not let me restart my computer. I could only shut it down and then turn it back on. Any attempt at a restart caused it to restart and then freeze with a 00 post code. With that problem, updating my bios was impossible. However, looking it up, i had this bios flash available, and your video explained how to use it. After the flash i turned the computer on and i got the bios updating message. Only, this time it restarted itself no problem. A lot of words just to say thank you very much. Have a wonderful holiday season, cheers!

I have that exact same mobo. I had to flash back because the bios above 0805 doesn't allow EXPO. They claimed memory overheating issues. After extensive troubleshooting Asus told me there was no fix so I decided to try the beta for 0922 and turn the memory voltage back up. It was unstable so I reverted back to 0805.

My case light turn on but it did not booth up

How do I know which ones connect to the CPU?

It is important to note that when you have a Z790 mobo with gen 5 M.2 slot and you plug M.2 SSD in it, the x16 gen 5 slot for your Graphics card will go down to x8 mode. This is because Alder and Raptor lake cpus only have 16 Gen 5 lanes + 4 Gen 4 lanes. If your Z790 mobo only has Gen 4 M.2 slot from the CPU then it's fine cause only the PCIE x16 slot is using those 16 Gen 5 lanes from the CPU. Gen 5 SSDs aren't worth it anyway.

Hi Glenn! Great video - very clear. Im hoping you can help with my issue! I'm attempting this on a new ASUS mobo and 9800x3d and I think im following the procedure correctly (file name, correct mobo, correct usb slot), but its still blinking 3 times, making an attempt, and then solid green light. I came to this a little differently. I built the system, adding GPU and (perhaps fatally) storage from a prior system, intending to use a Windows boot USB to reinstall OS. Prior to POST/BIOS, it's throwing a "New CPU installed: fTPM/PSP NV corrupted error, Y to continue" - but my USB keyboard does not respond in any port. I've reset the CMOS, pulled the mobo battery, and removed all storage - same behavior. My thought was that a BIOS flash could help, but I can't get it to take. Any ideas?

Does having 2 m.2 SSDs installed bad for performance?

So it doesn’t matter that the first is 5.0 and you’re installing a 4.0 ?

Hey! My led flashes for a few seconds and then stays on. Any fix for this issue?

my pc after turning on, wont turn off and says no signal (it did before that), what should I do?

It's showing 00 but no dram light or flashing around the q flash button after around 5 - 8 minutes but the pc hasn't shut itself off. Now what? Edit: since the gpu and all other LEDs had taken back their normal color even though I hadn't seen any display on my monitor, I just hard reset the PC and it immediately booted perfectly again. Thanks so much for your video, I had been having trouble updating the bios the regular way via boot menu and it never worked. Then thought I had my pc bricked earlier today because after yet another failed attempt it wouldn't boot at all anymore. Q Flash Plus worked like a charm first try but it wasn't super clear how to do it if not for your video

I see a daschund, I like and subscribe. EZPZ

Great video, super clear, with examples of issues people make make. First time flashing a motherboard that's not built yet, first video I click on, and it shows it.

Life saver! Thanks

Just stays green for me

I have the VT7000, but can't get it to work

What is the model.of motherboard

For people who are stuck with a solid green light do this: Download and open Rufus Boot selection: MS-DOS File System: FAT32 Cluster size: 8192 bytes Hit Start Copy the renamed bios file on the stick and flash the bios. I tried 2 usb sticks that I often use for installing a clean windows on systems, regular format in windows, placing the bios file and flashing did not work for me (tried everything), green light flashed few times and then became solid. Formatting the USB-sticks in windows was the issue. Tested with a Verbatim PinStripe USB 2.0 32 GB and a SanDisk Ultra 64GB USB 3.0.

Very nice explanation, sadly it didn't work for me, led stays solid. Probably a fault board or something else. (USB is freshly formatted & FAT32 and file is named SB650EF.CAP, in the root directory)

Hi! Did you use usb 2.0?

I just finished building my dream setup with the Strix X670E-E and the 7800X3D, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! I owe so much of this to your video-it was truly a game-changer. THANK YOU for the incredible guidance; I genuinely appreciate every bit of advice you shared. This build turned out amazing, and it's all thanks to you!

Thanks; I'll try mine tomorrow and maybe leave feedback; Gorgeous Dachshund !

What happens if i follow the steps, and after i push the button the light by the bios button flashes for a few seconds and then turns solid red instead of flashing for five minutes?

Thank you so much for this video. Made things sooo simple!!! :)

I was nervious and pressed the BIOS button short and once and the fancy LEDs of the mobo turned on, I thought it was updating but no. After watching this I later pressed the button for a few seconds and the led in the BIOS button started blinking. Thanks for the video!

Really great video, unfortunately it didnt work on my b550 mortar wifi that had it's bios bricked during a bios update.

I don’t know how much help this will be, but for the 650E-E, BIOSRenamer says you need the “.CAP” at the end of the bios file when renaming it, but when I ran that, it automatically renamed it without the “.CAP”. I added the “.CAP” manually and my system would not blink after 2-3 seconds, after plugging the drive into my motherboard and hitting the bios button. It worked, though, after I renamed the file to not include “.CAP”. The blinking goes faster on the motherboard once it “captures” that bios file from your thumb drive and took only a few minutes for it to run its course.

Best explaination. So concise and clearly explained. Not that I understand every point but this is priceless. Big thumbs up and thanks 💯%

My m.2 slot near to the cpu has no heat sink. But the one in between the gpu slot has heatsink. Which slot should i put it

How come this video doesn't include footage of Chorizo?

I did this on an x570 aorus elite wifi which I am troubleshooting for no POST. The flash appeared to complete, but the chipset fans kept running and I still get no POST. Was worth a try.

Very nice, Chorizo!

Very Helpful! Thank you.

I have everything connected right in a fully built system. Can’t get anything to display on my monitor or even get bios up and running

So can I put a gen4 SSD in a Gen 5 slot?

Bios flash back LED flashed 3 times and is solid green. Is that an issue?

ty for the video im having issues with my new pc, i get a lot of amd errors. im having 7800x3d and 7900 xt and it seems amd has a lot of errors. should have stayed with nvdia i think. im trying the bios flash now and hope it will work. btw a nice dog you have, my sister has also a dackel 😛

hey bro 3 NVMe SSD's..differents speed, which slot to put OS on and games? does it matter why? I mean if I just have the faster m.2 with the cpu but without the os am I going to lose any benefit..? Can't I just have the faster m.2 with the cpu but without windows and install windows on the second faster or third drive, and the games on the first faster one

hi, thanks so much for the video, i follwed all your steps before running my new motherboard, assembled the pc an when i switch the psu on the RGB lights on the motherboard light up ok. so i continued to turn on the pc - the three case fans and the cpu fan kicked in for a split second then stopped again and nothing. any ides please? i havent tried with the monitor yet either, i didnt want to try it again just incase something fails

Have had a Samsung external T7 drive and I love it. Just used your video to more easily instal and check different parameters using Samsung Magician. Crystal Disk showed the S.MA.R.T results were good and now samsung Magician just showed it’s still VERY healthy! Thank you for your video :-)

I followed the instructions to the T renamed the file with automatic name rewrite plugged it in switched on the power supply installed the flash drive into the bios pushed the button for three seconds the light flashed 7 times and stayed green. Did it flash?

Спасибо большое! А еще у вас красивая собака, хорошего вам дня :)

So I have a 2x8GB kit currently installed on A2 and B2, if I plan on adding another 2x8GB kit with the same specs but different brand, should I put those to A1 and B1? Or should I re-arrange to kit 1 to A1 and A2, then kit 2 to B1 and B2?
