Loves me a good old BIOS tour and I have to say this ASUS one doesnt look half bad. Im a total MSI BIOS fanboi but this one looks to be fairly functional and its a load better than the old style ones we used to get back in the day. Thanks Mike and Kath 🙂

[@mikesunboxing]

cheers bob! not my first choice to be honest, but was pretty cheap in a sea of overpriced motherboards at the moment so thought i would take it for a spin

[@OlettaLiano]

I agree. MSI and ASUS have the best-looking BIOS'.

Nice video, Mike. I have this motherboard and my BIOS was almost as old as the one you used in the demonstration. I watched your video a couple times, and followed your directions precisely. My BIOS upgrade was successful, and I'm looking forward now to a nice CPU upgrade - probably to the Ryzen 7 5700G. Thanks for your time and effort.

Thanks for the video it has really great infos. I ordered that motherboard with Ryzen 5 5600 cpu I did not know about that flash update thing before watching your video that's why i have a question . will both work together out of the box ? (it says in the retailer website that amd gen 3 ready . if not what can I do since I have no older amd cpu to use to make the update ? can you please help ? thanks in advance

[@mikesunboxing]

gen 3 is 3000 series, you need zen4 (5000 series) support

[@MrAnarchy04]

hi love your videos and i was just wondering i have a prebuild pc that has this mobo and i have a ryzen 5 5600x that came with my build and down the line i'm thinking in upgrading it to a ryzen 5800x3d and with a rtx 4070. Do I need to update the bios? cause the bio number i have on it is a 3205 and when i went to the website it showed a another bio whic a 3404. Do need to update to that to be able to use my ryzen 7 5800x3d or can i plug and play without downloading the new bios? also ive only own this prebuild pc for like 3 months now.

[@mikesunboxing]

it would be a good idea to update the BIOS anyway for security patches

[@jamesmiscellaneous]

Mike, did you ever find out if the AGESA 1207 equiped BIOS files that fix USB and fTPM issues tend to retain support for Zen+/Pinnacle Ridge CPUs? I'd like to try latest BIOS but not 100% sure if it drops 2XXX series CPU support. Did you ever put AGESA 1207 on any of your B450 boards and have that board still able to utilize a Zen+ CPU? Would like to try 7B85v1G for my board, but that would suck if it didn't boot because the CPU was no longer supported.

[@mikesunboxing]

the asrock b450 pro4 has the latest bios on it with a 2600 and seems okay

[@jamesmiscellaneous]

@@mikesunboxing thank you brother I will look up details of that bios

[@mikesunboxing]

Actually let me double check that to be sure before you uodate

[@jamesmiscellaneous]

@@mikesunboxing Let me know your findings when you can sir.

[@jamesmiscellaneous]

@@mikesunboxing ASRock states is doesn't recommend the latest BIOS for Pinnacle Ridge, so now I'm extra curious about your B450/2600 BIOS version on that board.

[@donfawthrop3263]

Quick question, my bios is out of date by a year, do I have to install each update individually, or can I go straight to the latest version? I didn't upgrade each stage before on an earlier motherboard and the result wasn't good. This time I'm asking first, sort of like measure twice, cut once..

[@mikesunboxing]

go straight to the newest one

[@busastars]

Something I've always stayed away from is Bios flashing. Horror stories of bricking a board. Do you offer a bios service Mike? For local'ish people 🤔

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah sure

First od all Nice video, now the bad part. I could very well be the only person that didnt back up bitlocker recovery key and suspend bitlocker encryption...I sam stuck on Asus logo screen, cant boot from any device what so ever .... Tried all the standard changing RAM modules, cmos battery, nothing Works.. Any advice

After i receive the memory ram which keys press get into bios Asus Prime B550-Plus Will i be able get into bios with the 9 5900x then update the system How often should bios need to be updated on a system thank you for your help

[@mikesunboxing]

press del to enter the bios, bios updates should only really be done to add new processor compatibility or bug fixes, but check the websites every 3 months or so

[@kristinebryson2701]

can you please send me a link where you bought your processor at for b550-plus athlon i can flash bios and then i can update it so i can have new processor working thank you

Came here just to make sure wasn't anything odd with the process, have the Prime B550M-A in the wife's machine with a R5 3600, the bios has never been flashed.

Maybe the command msinfo32 show a Prime b550-plus but i think have a different BIOS(i was making with the lastes Bios update but still with this option CBS instead of PBS ) my question is maybe this motherboard's Bios is compatible with another mother ? when Yes, maybe may i with other bios with the same compatibility trying? .

Hi, is there a way to upgrade the bios if the motherboard no longer recognizes usb ports?

[@mikesunboxing]

no there isn't sorry. unless you maybe add some USB ports via PCIe but that is unlikely to work as the bios flashback requires a specific port.

[@ates8129]

what happens if I install previous update before the current update? Because I feel like there is a problem on latest version. my motherboard is ASUS b550m-k

[@mikesunboxing]

that is fine you can roll back or forward if needed

[@kristinebryson2701]

which mempry do you use and which speed thank you

[@mikesunboxing]

i like to use 3600mhz really it is the best value for money and the ideal level for ryzen 3000 or 5000 series chips, i use v-color, kimtigo and thermaltake generally, but usually what ever is the best value at the time of purchase

[@williamlaude1814]

If I have a 3200Mhz of RAM should I turn on or enable the D.O.C.P or XMP of the Asus Prime B550M-A Wi-fi II?

[@mikesunboxing]

yes you should to get the most out of it

[@williamlaude1814]

yeah because the default I think is just 2122Hz? or something?.. but a 3200Mhz will do right? like if on a tight budget, is it worth to get a 3600Mhz? Ideally my plan is to use the ADATA XPG Spectrix D50 2x8gb White Silver RAM DDR4 3200Mhz ADT AX4U320088G16A-DW50

[@dominiksachs8632]

I maybe found out another problem with a Prime B550 Plus and Ryzen 3 2200g for the fault "selected file is not a proper bios". I cannot update further than 3002. My guess is that the processor is no longer supported?? I want to install the a Ryzen 7 5700x3D on the board (manufactured 2023). Now i wait for an answer from the ASUS support. Edit: The Ryzen 7 5700x3D is supported from version 2803 but it is not working with 3002, so there is another problem.

[@mikesunboxing]

is it because it removes support for the processor you are using? or maybe it is the wrong file or in the wrong format

received my Asus prime B550 Plus and have processor 9 5900x and checked the pc build websight says verson has be biso verson 1004 been reading alot of videos that the computer screen says no single i surpose that is due to bios and the furtue if i do those will it work or should i stay with the current version of bios i do not have another processor not able to afford another one any suggestion have single the the monitor to work thank you

So to flash the BIOS we need to have 2 CPU if I understand correctly or not ? I want to buy Prime B550 Plus and I have Ryzen 7 5700X means I cannot use it on B550 without flashing the BIOS
