Better Know a BIOS: Touring the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming BIOS + How to use BIOS Flashback!

Nice! Glad to see this video because I am using this mobo for my new build. I know my way around my BIOS with my Asus Tuf B550-Plus and pretty cool to see that this BIOS is pretty much the same. Either way, can't wait to explore the BIOS on my new build once I get the rest of my parts.

[@scr3aming3agle83]

Just put my PC together a few days ago after spending the better part of the year getting the parts, had some issues initially but it seems to be running properly now. Im just waiting to get my OS to finish the job. I will use this video to help me out. Thank you.

Hiya mate, just a quick production tip - raise the aperture setting of your camera so that *all* the onscreen text is in focus, and even consider locking the focus when the camera and subject are both static anyway. I made it about 7.5 mins in, but the text was too blurry to read, so I bailed on it. It does seem helpful though, so cheers for the content. Also, this vid is over a year old, so you may well have corrected your technique by now, but I figured I'd mention it just in case you hadn't yet.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Thank you for the suggestions!

Very nice B550 board. Bought new RAM but had trouble running it at DOCP speeds (3600 CL16). Talked with ASUS support who wanted me to send the mobo in for an RMA. Despite being one month past the exchange period, Amazon helped me out and sent me a new one so I didn't have to wait for the RMA. Set the new board up and everything worked perfectly. Old motherboard must've been faulty in some way. Glad it wasn't my CPU that was the issue, but man dealing with RAM problems is such a nightmare.

[@elijahmckenzie9207]

I installed this board today and too had weird problems with DOCP, kept trying different slots then tried 1 stick and apply DOCP and it worked so I thought my other stick died or something as I would get boot loop every time I put it on my other stick but I added the other one in after enabling it on my first stick and it worked lol both at 3600mhz now

[@SOLDADITO76]

Running into the same issue with my build using the same board. Started with all four dimms populated no post, 2 and 4 slot populated of course no post. Goin to try your method and see what happens all this going back and fourth with RAM issues is annoying and funny enough never had this issue before. All my builds have had Asus boards so this is a one off for me. When you installed the one stick of Ram did you put it in the first or second slot on the CPU side?

I tried different drivers, even flashed controller’s FW through a bat file, many attempts to reboots, switching things in bios etc. Nothing works and looks like it can be a hardware issue of the chip itself or it can be fine with some routers. Btw the Wi-Fi part of the motherboard is meh for VR streaming, feels like drivers are raw, but theoretically should improve in the future. Nice board on paper, but these issues are catastrophic for my application…

Hey I’m late to this comment. Any chance if you would know if a 4060ti would work on this mobo

[@sydmichel]

Can you tell me why you refer to flashing the bios as a "flash back" are you flashing the bios back to a previous or older version of the bios? if so, why would you do that? you didn't explain why you would want to go back to an older bios. I have seen this done on some game consoles so that they can be jailbroken but I don't think that is the case here.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

The "flashback" term is just a another common name for BIOS Flash. Sometimes the buttons on mobos are actually labeled bios flashback. Here's an article from ASUS calling the feature flashback: www.asus.com/support/faq/1038568/ With regards to your other question, you may want to flash the BIOS to an older version if the newest one you have installed proves to be unstable, has a known bug communicated by the mobo maker, is a BETA version, etc. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching and commenting!

Hi! I wonder if there is a way to check the BIOS CMOS battery voltage somewhere on the BIOS screen, rather than having to take the battery out and use a voltmeter... But then you might lose all the settings...

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

I can’t recall if there was or not. If you’re worried about keeping settings l, you should be able to store them on a USB stick and then bring them back up. I know I can on my ASUS dark hero.

Up to you really. Doing it before ensures the CPU you bought or will use works right away, but there's nothing wrong with getting everything together and doing it after. Don't set any XMP or any overclocking just get it all together, install windows, update the bios or update bios first then windows, then after all your drivers and things are up to date set XMP and what not.

Make sure the usb drive is in the right port. Make sure it’s formatted to fat-32 and if it has multiple directories make sure you copy the file to those directories. Oh and rename the file appropriately if you need to.

Does it matter if I use a 3.0 usb drive? I have a steady green light.

It’ll blink for a second then stay on the green light.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

It shouldn't matter if you used a USB 3.0 Drive. That's all I had and it went fine. It can take up to 10 min for the BIOS to update. Just leave it go and when the light is off on the mobo or whatever, you should be done.

Your ability to set xmp may depend on your actual cpu as well. Research what memory your cpu supports. Intel isn’t nearly as dependent on ram speed as amd.

[@cameronkintop3537]

can I still do the flashback with the cpu in or do I have to take it out?

Yes you ought to be able to flash the BIOS with the CPU installed. If you're talking about flashing for compatibility issues though and not just a general update, that I'm not so sure. If the PC already works and you want to update normally, I'd just go into the BIOS and update via the utility.

If your CPU has integrated graphics, plug your monitor into the display or hdmi ports on the motherboard. Should work automatically. IF not then you might need to activate it in the BIOS. Only certain AMD CPUs, usually ending in G, like 2600G or 5600G have integrated graphics. Zen 4 CPUs (7000 series) have basic integrated graphics for displaying a signal but nothing you could game on.

hey guys i have all my parts now really tempted and scared too... i was really concerned about the bios update and i am really not sure if i need to update the bios since my asus b550-f says its 5000 desktop ready and windows 11 ready and for cpu i have 5600X if anyone can recommend anything pls do so thanks!

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

If it says 5000 ready you should be good to go. :) also if you have to update the BIOS at any time it can be pretty Intimidating but it’s not too bad.

[@arrnobroy7513]

@@MiddleofKnowhere thanks alot seth really appreciate it.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

You’re welcome. Hope your build turns out great.

[@rudy1197]

for some reason, I am not able to save my profile to a USB. It seams simple enough but it never works.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Format the usb drive to fat 32 and make sure it is plugged in before you turn the PC on then try saving. See if that works.

I just bought a ryzen 5 5600 and i replaced my 3300x and my pc wont boot, my motherboard is asus tuf b550 plus bios 0608 should i update the bios to the latest version for 5600?

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

You might need to yes.

Excellent content but please hold the camera steady! Nauseating after 5 minutes

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Yeah, I hadn't discovered the focus lock yet so it was breathing a lot. Sorry about that.

[@grzegorzlisiecki5033]

I love this shaking camera - it brings this realism like in Bourne movies. Lovely touch and goes well with smooth jazz in the background. Can you do more of this ultra real shaking?

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

1. Thanks for the view. 2. It's lo-fi. 3. Bourne is my jam.

Αny good video tutorial how to oc the b550 f or e gaming pbo2 or all cores?

[@johnmcneely6967]

shit i have this exact this board and it don't have the above 4g decoding where yours does

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Might not show if you don’t have an rtx 3000 series or amd 6000 series gpu OR if the BIOS isn’t more recent. Not sure.

I always assumed Asus didn't provide overclocking instructions because its a liability. As soon as someone bricks their motherboard messing with something they don't understand ( I don't necessarily mean timings ) - ' WeLl i fOlLoWEd yOuR iNsTrUcTIOnS!'

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

That makes sense. They, like AMD with Ryzen Master, could always have a disclaimer in the BIOS and require you to hit the checkbox and then that's saved somewhere on the bios chip or something where they can then retrieve that info later should you brick the board while oc'ing and rma it. Having said that, ASUS has videos using their software to overclock within windows, but never delves into the BIOS for a manual OC, which annoys me. I don't like the software and want to learn how to BIOS OC.

well done

Thank you!

i am still having Green light

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Green is for your Boot led. Can you post and get into the BIOS or Windows? If not, make sure whatever hard drive you're using is plugged in and/or seated properly. Additionally, it might remain on b/c you haven't formatted the drive yet prior to installing windows. Do that during installation. You may have a malfunctioning drive. If you're using an NVMe drive, try a different slot. If it works, it might be a malfunctioning slot. If a SATA SSD or HDD, try plugging in the SATA cable into a different SATA port. Hope some of this helps.

[@thejakwick]

I have a constant light man

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

which light, and does it boot? If it's the RAM light, try reseating your memory.

13:25 Going on so much in here, its not even funny 😂

[@pirojfmifhghek566]

Was really hoping you'd go into the detail of what all those annoying acronyms actually mean. Been beating my head against a rock trying to get decent explanations from the internet, but it's a lost cause. So much of this BIOS is self-referential meta bullshit too. "Oh this is the thing that's incompatible with 'the stilt' EDC tweak." Okay Asus, then tell me what the EDC tweak is so I know not to do it. Oh, you're not going to? I'm supposed to just KNOW what that means? Asus, I don't lurk your dumb overclocker forums. I don't get the reference. I'm just a monkey trying to keep his CPU from automatically setting the core voltage to 1.50v out of the box for no sane reason.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Honestly I don't even know. I'm not an overclocker. I know enough in a BIOS to be dangerous, but that's about it. I agree that ALL mobo makers need better BIOS guides. I've even asked ASUS in their vids for OC guides via the BIOS not their software and they never have.

[@Rizz311]

Hi I have emailed you for help on this motherboard can you please get back to me thank you

[@DJAulix]

Autofocus is giving me a headache, i you use 1 single composition in your video you should turn off autofocus... Should be off anyway if you're not following an object or person

[@vitek245]

Nice guide, no idea why, maybe because you have no idea what are you talking about😂

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

I know enough to get through the basic set ups for 99% of people out there
