Super helpful video as other channels assume that this is easy or straight forward but you showing us this from start to finish gives us courage to try this ourselves. Thanks Mike!

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks for your kind words

[@Jeymez]

not too many channels cover how to do a bios update, so that's super informative especially for someone new to PC building, or just anyone in general looking to upgrade. im used to this sort of thing since I've had both Intel and AMD builds, but there's always new information to learn. i wish KZbin exited back in 2003 when i built my first PC when i turned 18, because there's alot that goes on with PC.

[@Druze_Tito]

Thank you! If anyone has a problem with stutters/sound distortions/intermittent slowdowns of the computer after updating to a new and then reverting to older (known to be stable) BIOS, a possible solution is to do the BIOS Flashback to the factory BIOS and then update that to the BIOS you want. According to some owners online this is a solution. I just did that and I am going to do testing. I will report my findings.

[@darren990]

hi mike..isn't the one at the top of the bios list.would be the newest . or wouldn't it have all the rest of the older ones in the newest top bios or do you just go by processor type and not whats at the top of the list if you get what i mean

yes the top is the newest but sometimes it will be a beta or just released so might be safer to hold back a little

[@patricklebel1141]

I don't remember which board it was, but the bios refuse to update with an usb drive that was greater than 8gb. It was a bit surprising to me as I never had a problem before with my 32gb drive, but that was not a msi. Maybe one of the Asrock or Asus I used for some build.

Not that my x570-a pro was bad, but was clearly budget board. But still good enough for mid range build.

Hello Mike, i have a question for you. If something were to go wrong during updating the BIOS of my Gigabyte B560M Aorus Pro, lets say a power outage. Can the Q-Flash still install a fresh BIOS to save the board? It says it has Q-Flash+ , does q-flash+ still work with the CPU/RAM installed?

I had to do this with my B450 Gaming Plus Max. I was surprised because the 5000 series processors have been out for a while. MSI should have marked the packaging that it didn't support to 5000 series chips. once it was updated to accept the ryzen 5000 series chips the bios needed to be updated to a latest release to bring it totally up to date. its funny how they are marketing these boards, the tomahawk plus and gaming plus look identical except for the colors....

Should i update my bios to the latest version regardless whether the motherboard is compatible with my cpu out of the box? Or is updating the bios to the most recent version a bad idea? I have the msi gaming plus max b450 and a ryzen 7 2700x cpu. i’m pretty certain the CPU will be compatible out of the box although when I look at all of the bios updates, some of them have bug fixes and compatibility updates so I’m wondering if it would be best just to get the latest version of the bios to make sure any bugs or security issues and compatibility issues are prevented.

[@mikesunboxing]

get the newest bios for the reasons you stated

[@born2slay_yt1997]

thanks so much sir@@mikesunboxing

[@damightyshabba439]

Just a question... why doesn't the extraction process create a correctly named file? Seems odd that they deliberatly provide a file that can't be used unless you know to rename it?!? I'm lucky - my box has the Ryzen 5000 Ready sticker on it, so once the rest of my kit arrives I'm good to go. But its odd that you have to manually change the file name to get something as basic/important as your motherboard to work. I'm sure there is a reason, but I can't think of it - PC's are supposed to simple and easy, even at the tech end of the stick. The only time I have encountered renaming issues before was on unrecognised drives - USB / HDD / SSD - just renaming them seemed to work. But anyway my question is - why doesn't the package name itself correctly?

[@mikesunboxing]

it is more for a upload or file management side of things, if the files were all converted to the same name there would be increased risk of using the wrong original file.

[@leoleo-kp9lf]

In the video it says to go to the cpu support section and I did, I have the msi b550 tomahawk+5600x and the support said to download the 7C91vA7 can you make sure that I'm downloading the correct bios so I don't brick my mobo

I flushed mine for 5600x but now it is not recognizing my hard disks.i installed back my 2600 and worked again .very strange

[@mikesunboxing]

[@ZeusKyriacos]

I did nothing helped it just don't see sata drivers.I will try 5600x on different system

My cpu still isn’t being recognised by my board what do I do?

[@mikesunboxing]

keep trying and double check the process is being followed and maybe use another bios revision or another USB drive

For me it didn't work when I disconnected everything. It was flashing slowly 3 times and nothing after that. Once I connected everything back it worked. Just gonna leave this here in case someone finds it useful.

glad it worked in the end
