Thanks, this is the ONLY information online that enabled me to update my gigabyte mobo. Nothing else worked. This info isn't even on the gigabyte website, let alone reddit, the paper user manual, anywhere I looked. For anyone wondering, this works fine with all the components already plugged into the motherboard (at least it did for me).

[@mikesunboxing]

Great to hear!

[@dezpotizmOFheaven]

Gigabyte's own instructions lack of a lot of badly needed information. It's horrible to be honest!

[@fentom92]

[@WhizoRiz]

first time builder here with a quick question.. does the flash drive size really matter? I have a 128gb and I'm thinking of doing Q Flash first and then install Win 11. Will it work fine or do I need a 16/32 gb instead? Thank you!

[@Kaneguy]

Mike, your recommendation to qflash the bios without attaching all of the peripherals is spot-on. For the last 2 years, my Gigabyte Aorus X570 Ultra has been plagued by random boot failures. This problem continued despite keeping up with the latest bios put out by Gigabyte. The PC would eventually post after restarting her 2-4 times. This past weekend, however, my pc refused to boot up despite repeated attempts to restart her so I decided to qflash the bios with an older bios version thinking the most recent bios was causing the problem. The qflash failed so after reading some literature which stated that Gigabyte had recently changed their bios to prevent installing older bios for security reasons, I attempted to qflash the bios using the latest file. The qflash failed and I could not get the PC to post. The only thing that would run when I powered her up was the case fans. I was fed up and decided to scrap the board and spent the next hour looking for another suitable replacement online and then I found your video (again!) and decided to follow your suggestion of qflashing the MB without the peripherals being attached and this time the qflash worked. The MB now posts every single time the PC is powered up. Thanks for your informative video!

[@mikesunboxing]

[@TheBioniXman]

Just watched this and am going to go down to the main PC and see if I can breath some life into it! Unfortunately it did not work for me, correct bios file and did everything that you mentioned apart from removing the CPU, but it seems to flash and will not boot the system. Shame as it is a newish CPU, newish RAM, on board graphics as I have not put the brand new card in yet. The whole lot is going in the bin!.

hello Mike, i have a B550 Aorus Elite V2, and mine is revision 1.0. On Gigabyte support bios download, theres versions since 1.0 to 1.5. I should download only the 1.0 or go straight to the latest revision?

[@mikesunboxing]

the board revision and the bios version are to different things. The motherboard revision never changes and it is when the manufacturer makes a change to the design of the board. you use the newest bios version for the revision of motherboard you have. hope that makes sense

[@FlamingRobzilla]

Your diction could use some improvement. I could barely understand you at some points. You need to slow down a bit and enunciate. Doing so will help you to not slur your words as much. I'm just trying to be helpful. You have knowledge that I need badly right now and it's really frustrating trying to understand you. There many places I had to re watch several times. I even had to slow down the play speed to 75%. That said I want to thank you for this video. It saved me a second return to Amazon.

I plugged my old motherboard in and it has a standby power light with the same power cables so I know it’s supplying power. Any ideas?

no, that is another of the key uses of a bios flash, to recover a bad flash

I would stay away from Gigabyte MoBo

[@mikesunboxing]

any reason why? i am interested to hear your thoughts on it

[@samm928]

@mikesunboxing I got the B650i itx Aorus Ultra 1-12-1 VRM power bank, which gets hot to the touch. The first time I set it up on Win11, it all went according to plan. All he drivers installed and seemed to be running correctly with an AM5 7950x3d and 64gb crucial memory .. I updated to the latest BIOS F30, and now it takes 2-3 resets to get it to boot up .. I reverted back to F22b BIOS and reinstalled Win11 .. I keep having to reset to factory defaults .. The motherboard is a piece of junk for $250 .. blue screen every othe reboot, even thought it runs at 48cDeg ideling ..I lost two SSD drives, one on the back side of the board, which I don't have access to .. WiFi driver won't install, so I'm using my phone USB tethering for data downloads. It's a pain.

you can try

Have this board, getting a 5800x for it. When I tried to extract bios file for it keeps coming out 16mb. Did the FB file it says to but my question is, is that correct or am I doing something wrong?

could be that you are using a slightly different model motherboard? there are a lot of them with very similar names
