GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX BIOS update

[@danielmuriano5866]

This is the third time I've come here to update my BIOS, I will always comeback to remember the steps. Thank you!

[@ppaulletta]

Hey, Daves, would like to give a big THANK YOU, for simply explaining this. Did here for F7A and went smoothly. GIGABYTE manual for Bios update is horrible.

[@Genshinlmpact]

love your accent daves. great and informational content!

Thank you. Thank you for watching and the comment.

Accent? Dude is slurring like he’s just had a stroke 😂 needs to E-NUN-CI-ATE his words more 🤣

[@boastyy]

Thanks man. One thing I would suggest is to load the optimised defaults in the bios then reboot back into the bios and do the flash. This is to minimise any problems when flashing the bios and suggested by Gigabyte on the forums.

Nice thorough tutorial. Thanks!

[@drdiscostu]

Thanks for this mate, I kept getting an error. Although you didn't cover the exact fix you mentioned my error was usually the wrong bios being updated. I have a "aorus elite b650 rev 1.0" and I was on the page for "aorus elite b650 rev 1.2 (1.0/1.1)" which I took to be correct but was not. Through a bit of searching on gigabyte's page I found "aorus elite b650 rev 1.0" and updated bios fine.

[@PsychicX720]

You deserve more subscribers brother. Saving lives out here lol

[@hydro1337x]

I struggled about 4 hours of trying this method and each time I got “Invalid BIOS image”. I tried multiple BIOS versions, even considered using an old usb drive just to test things. The final solution was to use the Q Flash Plus method for updating the BIOS, if your motherboards supports it just do it that way and save yourself some time. Seems that that is a common problem for Gigabyte B650 MBs. I’m using a B650M DS3H. Hope it helps someone. Edit: Aorus has a 30s tutorial on how to do it

[@aeron1758]

Do you need a specific usb for example 2.0 or 3.0 to update bios?

[@josecruz8803]

The exactly the tutorial I was looking for! Thanks!

[@MIkegrimm2]

Updating the BIOS the way you have just shown is way easier looking than using the q flash with the USB in I/O plate on the Motherboard.

[@kennyli5838]

What if I just normally restart the computer and go straight into bios to follow the steps? Without doing the UEFI troubleshoot stuff

Hi mate, If the price is same would you prefer this over MSI b650 mortar?

I don't really care MSI anything, But they look to be pretty close to the same specs. I think you would be be good either way you go. Thank you for watching and the comment.

Hi Daves. I watched your video. So I will need a USB Flash Drive to update my BIOS correct? I can't use my internal HDD or an SSD? Just want to confirm, before I go purchase a USB Flash Drive.

Is the audio on this Elite board ok? Would it be worth the upgrade to the Aorus Pro AX for the better ALC 1220? Nothing worse than hearing a whine or static constantly.

[@Revell25]

I’m new to the PC world and my first pc I had the store assemble and got everything ready because they had to configure windows but now my upgrade package has me a little confused. I got a similar MB of the B650 EX V ice I think it. I just liked the white lol like I said I’m a newb so didn’t know about Wi-Fi drivers. I chatted with tech support of store and sent me the one link to download WLAN but do I need the LAN? Ethernet cable works fine but WiFi it shows great connection but I have no internet connection in anything I do and don’t know if it’s driver related or network settings. Also, the guy made it sound like that’s the only driver needed but then I saw so many others for audio (can that make speakers sound better?), Bluetooth, AMD chipset, Bios like this. And really confused me and wondering if I’m not taking full advantage. My old os had issues and randomly just take me to the Lock Screen and wonder if a chipset would’ve helped. So new MB and Ryzen 7 if that means anything. But any help is GREATLY appreciated!! Sorry for it being so long lol

I just went to upgrade the BIOS as the last ditch effort to see if the Mobo needed compatible drivers.

Awesome! It was a success! I have purchased a new computer recently and the audio in one of the shooter games I play is weird.

Having serious issues trying to flash anything after F3b BIOS. F3b update worked great with EXPO and PBO settings to my 7700x. Tried to flash newer F3h or F3 bios updates and both just break my pc. I’m not able to restart without it getting stuck on a dark screen and never booting, have to force shut down to attempt to power back up. Sometimes it doesn’t even boot, it’s just totally bugged. No bios tweaks would work either. I’ve tried everything and I cannot update, sucks because if I wanted to get the new 3D chips I won’t be able to if I keep getting BIOS update issues with future updates. If anyone has any tips I’d really appreciate it. Tried different flashdrives, tried to load optimized settings before updating bios, restarting CMOS, etc. I have to end up reverting back to F3b to get a stable pc again.
