.Getting a new ASUS motherboard delivered in a couple of days. I've been watching instructional videos on KZbin, and this one was the clearest and most up-to-date.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Awesome! Glad I could help.

[@tomdrinkwater8542]

Very helpful video, thanks so much for the info! I have done this before, but is has been a while, so it is always nice to have a video to help refresh that data in your brain :)

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad it was helpful!

[@reynosamanA3]

Thanks for the info man. This video was very helpful. Keep them coming.

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thanks, will do!

can i update my bios without disassembling my ram/processsor/gpu/ssd?

[@damienlim3544]

do we need to plug in cpu power supply too or just motherboard power suply?

[@lukapetrovic8040]

Thank you so much! This video was very useful!

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rizzxii]

Great video! One question, r u using the b550 (ATX) motherboard or the b550m (matx)?

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

It's an ATX. The link is in the description if you would like more info.

[@Marcelis]

Would skipping this prevent the computer from connecting to your wireless network?

[@DumbBuffon]

Im building a pc with this motherboard and a ryzen 7 5800x thanks for the tip

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

You're very welcome 🤗

[@cristiandavidramirezareval3737]

How long it takes to complete the bios update?

[@Baxwar2092]

Does the CPU socket heat up being powered? Wanna do this on a new MOBO before install, do I need to remove the plastic protector?

[@nilos.m.delima5164]

Respect from Brazil, brother! Thanks ! Btw, chinese version has different USB for flash bios. Ppl need to check their mobo printed guide from its box!

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Good tip! Cheers!

[@ryanrucker2801]

This video was perfect! Thanks!

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

You're so welcome!

[@kayadrien]

thank you really helpful video! just got my mobo updated thanks to this

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Glad it helped!

[@chol5808]

could this fix a no post issue? I am sure it should be one of the first steps after the whole checking to see if it's plugged in and all that, I am not getting a post no response to power button. removed cmos bat I did the normal multi-meter checks for shorts to ground... just not use to easy flash bios.I guess if the bios is faulty will it cause a no post but led is on?

[@themlotproductions]

According to the Asus website, it wasn’t clear that everything needed to be disconnected - unlike your tutorial!

[@mochascuter]

mine isn’t blinking will that cause any problems? the light is on still

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

This is the new version, the old one had a M2 slot for WIFI, I bought 2 of the older ones. Just because of the issues and the extra M2 slot.

hey man would you reccomend doing this before building your pc i just recieved my asus tuf gameing b550 plus wifi 2 i followed all your steps and downloaded the recent bios and firmware version 3610 beta version 2024/09/30 ran the renamer as well and ejected when it was done

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Typically it's something I do when building a PC to be sure all the specified components are compatible and function properly.

[@IMMORTALxCHAOSxGAMERS]

@@NorthernVikingEveryday can i follow these steps still with my cpu and wraith stealth cooler installed into my atx case

[@harveyjake1985]

My ASUS B550 gaming plus II wifi doesnt boot/post, it only shows the ASUS RGB logo on the VRM cycling different colors, no response from jumping the front panel pins either. I have a 5800x installed, could this flashback solve my issue? And would i have to remove the CPU to do the flashback? I only ask because i have a BeQuiet cooler installed and that thing is a major pain to take apart/reassemble. Would appreciate a response and thank you for the helpful video!

[@harveyjake1985]

I should also mention that none of my fans or my GPU turn on either, no debug LEDS, thing is dead as a doornail besides that RGB asus logo

[@G4ming_OG]

how u know it was updated? mine does this but it wont update

[@zodopi6]

Hello, i have seen some bad reviews about this motherboard saying that it cannot recognize it’s own wifi card is that true or it just needs the update to be fixed?

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

I haven't had any problems. It's worked great so far.

[@chumlee4357]

The problem with this mobo’s wifi is that the driver on the asus website is not the correct one. Asus has you downloading a mediatek driver instead of an intel wifi driver.

[@yasminsabour5789]

How do I do this if the pc is setup allready

[@saulorecipute2310]

Boa tarde. Tenho uma Asus tuf gaming b550m plus wi-fi ll. Tento ajustar a hora na BIOS mais não salva. As outras configurações salva normal mas a hora não. Já coloquei duas baterias novas pra t testar e não dá certo. Tentei atualizar a BIOS mas a luz verde lá trás fica acesa, ela começa piscando e depois fica acesa e não apaga mesmo depois de 30 meninos e não atualiza. Posso regular a hora com o Pc ligado pelo Windows mas depois usar por alguns minutos ela desregula de novo e se eu estiver jogando algum jogo online sou expulso da partida por causa disso. O que devo fazer?

For those who have the light of the flashback who stay on, try to format your usb key with Diskpart. 1) Open cmd as an administrator 2) diskpart 3) list disk 4) select disk (x) x is the number of your usb key 5) clean 6) convert mbr 7) create partition primary 8) select partition 1 9) format fs=fat32 quick ** and try with an up to 8gb usb drive, not higher **

[@benjaminesqueda2100]

Hello, I'm having big trouble with the flashback. First, is the button stiff/tactile or something? I can feel any mechanics or "clicks" when I press it. And now, the led light keeps flashing with or without the USB drive. I took off the CMOS battery, discharged the CLRTC pins and still haven't find out the problem! I can't run my mobo, fans and CPU not working.

[@Rick-Williams59]

How can I tell if my BIOS on my A520M PLUS needs updating? Thanks

[@jesperburns]

When it stops working if you install a new CPU. If everything works than no need to update.

[@letsdogaming481]

Or you can just press del or f2 on start up see what the bios number is go to the cpu manufacturer's website and see if the cpu number is less than the board if it is no need to update save putting in a new cpu first and then it not working

[@dogievenom]

Thanks!

[@NorthernVikingEveryday]

Thank you so much for the support! Much appreciated. 😃👍👍

[@luacitizen5891]

I don't see RAM in MB slot ?

[@otakuagdxx3194]

I did the same method but it did not work is it possible that the bios battery has a problem please answer brother

[@cheney22]

[@mt.channel]
