Today we are looking at how to use the Gigabyte Qflash system to update the BIOS on the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX. The process is pretty much the same for any QFLASH enabled motherboard, with the exception of the actual BIOS file itself will need to be the specific one for your motherboard model, as i explained in the video intro.

I think you are the only one to show so many How to BIOS update 👍
yeah it is a bit of a niche for us
are you really apologizing for doing an "how to" video for being too long? i suppose its the "tik tok" generation where they just dont have the attention span these days , personally ithought it was the perfect length and covered everything you would want in a how to video
Thank you for the kind words
Everyone modern day has attention spans less than Goldfish, so GG
@@mikesunboxing10 minutes perfect; this video helped me with my X670 Elite
We want a problem to be solved quickly, how does that have anything to do with attention span?? Lmao
@@erlouwer That is EXACTLY my point !! You dont want to understand the problem you just want to solve it !! Its terrifying these days
I've made a custom build for a friend and we were struggling to get it to boot as the bios out of the box was not updated and didn't support the CPU we've bought. We tried contacting the stores and repair shops around, looking for a CPU that we can plug in and get the system to boot, but nobody was willing to help :< Your video saved us! Huge thanks! Didn't even know that it's possible to update the bios without all the components working prior to this day
Glad I could help, hope the new build turns out great
@@mikesunboxing it successfully passed the stress tests and is ready to game 🔥Should last a good 5-10 years ❤️ Thank you again very much for saving us a bunch of time and nerves! Loved that you went straight to the point in the video and covered in detail how to get everything prepared! + To your karma from both of us 🥰
I just used the wrong bios, it just didn’t want to flash. So I started everything again and discovered the right bios…. It’s currently flashing and hopefully everything else works. Your video is the best motherboard video I’ve seen.
thank you very much, did it work out in the end?
Perfect tutorial Mike👍 Good to know how to use dos commands for chkin usb drive👍 You are thorough and ensuring we all get it right. Thanks Mike and Kath 🐈👍
Thanks nick appreciate it
This video helped me so much! I was considering returning the motherboard until I saw a review and came across this video. Now I'm running on all cylinders!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the detailed instruction! Followed to a tee and got my motherboard running again.
Glad it helped!
You are a God sent for real. Had been battling with flashing my BIOS on a b650 aorus elite ax v2. It would turn on and 3 seconds later turn off. taking the RAM out fixed it and let me flash it. I was about to surrender on this mobo.
glad the video helped
I've done q flash before, but I always like to reference a video when I work on my pc so I know I'm doing things correctly. Thanks for the straight forward information.
thanks and good luck
@@mikesunboxing Update: I got the B650e version of this and it supports all 7000 series CPUs out of box, I didn't even go into the bios. I swapped everything over and after the memory training, it booted right up into all my same settings and OS. I also didn't need to change any bios settings to boot on the proper M.2 drive that runs my OS.
@@Sacred_Silence Thanks for the info 🙂
Thanks Mike for the tutorial. Flashing the BIOS is my least favorite task. Thanks for sharing Mike and Lady Kath. Take care all. Cheers
got another one to do today, but i am in a lucky position that if it goes wrong i still have other working computers. For those less fortunate it must be quite unsettling
Thank you so much, Mike. I cannot express in words my gratitude towards you spreading this information. I appreciate that you have shown this in depth, and, I hope you have an excellent day.
You are very welcome
Doing the BIOS Update atm. Without this video I would not have known to check if it was a rev 1.0/1.1 or 1.2. Furthermore this seems so much more straight forward than the official Gigabyte way to do it.
it is a lot easier when you have all the right information. this is why i do this :-)
@@mikesunboxing And I am glad you do :) Thank you!
You have a new sub! The part showing the command prompt was what I needed. Thanks so much.
Glad I could help
Awesome tutorial mate. Just got a new mbd and hadn't done this before. Thank you so much!. Good tutorial straight to the point and easy to follow. PS you shouldn't have to apologise for the video length.
thanks for the kind words
I think the video format and length were perfect. I understand what you mean about "going on for too long", however you are well-spoken with a clearly thought out path, don't worry about it :)
thank you very much
Thank you for this very precise guide. One thing I did wrong though was cleaning the wrong drive because I was not paying attention and used the same drive number as in your video. It is a stupid mistake but can be made easily if you don't pay attention. So be careful which drive you wipe!
hopefully you got there in the end
@@mikesunboxing trying to recover my data atm 😭
This was great. I just purchased this particular motherboard and the last time I did a build (2017) bios flashback wasn't really a thing. No you didn't go on too long. Better to go into more detail than less assuming that your audience knows what you are talking about.
thanks Larry appreciate that, hope all goes well

@@AMDRyzenEnthusiastGroup Awesome! Welcome to the Channel 🙂
Hi, Mike. I'm curious as to way you always flash the BIOS with the Q-Flash button, and not in the BIOS as I always do.
Lots of people can’t access the bios so it makes sense to start at the very basic low level, this is becoming more important as amd are releasing more and more am4 parts that even the freshest motherboard stock won’t be ready for.
The same will be happening later this year for the 9000 series on am5
I love that i just found this video and therefor your channel! I was thinking if i should update bios through this method or through the bios as i just got all of the parts necessary for my next build! I really dont want to mess something up so whichever way is safest or easiest to do im doing that
either way is fine, the method in the video is more for those without a working system.
welcome to the channel by the way
In this video there was only 1 file that populated in the ZIP folder. I downloaded the latest F30 updated and there are 3 additional files plus an EFI Folder. Are all of these other files required or should I only copy over the file similar to your video? TIA
just do the bios file ignore the rest of it
@@mikesunboxing awesome glad i found this question! Thank you!
Hi there! I have this mb and face this problem. When i first builded the PC my BeQuite! Dark Rock Elite cooler's LED was on and working fine. Suddenly one day stopped. The guys from BeQuite have send a replacment cup it doesn;t work as well. They suggest it must have been turned of somewhere in BIOS settings but i cannot find anywhere a setting for this...

@@AntonisVlavo try the #1 tech support room
I read where Mike said it could be an incompatible USB drive so the board won't be able to flash the bios. My efforts so far are only resulting in the machine turning on for a second or 2 when pressing the flash button, then guessing it's trying to read the usb drive, failing and turning off. So as a last resort what exact USB drive, make, model, size, is recommended? Also, I'm downloading using a Windows 11 system, but the board is on a Windows 10 system, so I'm using the Windows 10 links. If that matters? Good clear video, seems so easy! lol.. Thank you.
try the sandisk flair 32gb
@@mikesunboxing Thank you for the fast reply. Much appreciated.
Hey Mike, have/could you have a quick look into th red light issue on this mobo?
I was thinking of getting this mobo for a 7800x3d and ddr5 2x16gb 6000mhz cl30 build.
But would hate to have that red light issue and not have a possible fix/tutorial.
Also is the audio on this good enough for gaming audio?
Thanks
Mike
sure i can do but do you have any info to speed up my research? not heard of this issue before
Red Dram Light is still going on. just built my son a gaming pc and it will not post. red dram light stays on have tried to let it train the memory but after 30 minutes still no luck. I'm using a ryzen 5 7600x. after looking all over the internet their still is no solution. all i see is forums of people having the same issue and months later they still haven't solved the problem.
thanks for the video it's super easy to follow, however, your bios download had just one file. My download has 4 files and a folder, containing another folder with 2 more files. I have the same board and rev 1.2 and currently latest update is FB2. So is it safe to assume I can just rename file "B650AORUSELITEAX12.FB2" or do I need these other files?? D:
just rename the actual bios file, ignore the rest
This worked for me, but with weird behavior.
Upon pressing the button, all system fans started spinning, but that's not unexpected. It first flashed quickly, then slowly. Took about 5 minutes. So far so good.
Booted, shut down and went to BIOS to re-enable XMP. Apparently this caused another memory training from scratch, which, according to Gigabytes website, is expected to "take longer" on higher speeds. However, after 25 minutes I still had black screens on 32GB DDR5-6000. I just shut it off and turned it back on to which it booted normally. Now this exact problem also occured when I put this PC together...I'm not sure if this is behavior is expected on this board on a full initial memory training?
Thanks though, I found Gigabyte's own manual a bit confusing, yours was much easier to follow.
thanks and hopew that all is well now
Hey Mike, im trying to update my bios, I have the same model you used in the video. I'm pressing the q flash button for 3 seconds, but no flashing light is appearing. I did it multiple times, I'm afraid i broke something. I don't know if you're going to see this, but I need some help. Thanks.

How I know its flashed or not? I have the b650 Aorus elite ax v2
if it takes about 5 minutes then stops flashing then it is pretty safe to say it worked
How can i reset cmos？
Im using B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE 🥺
think the battery is under the m.2 shield
@@mikesunboxingi mean when i remove should i install a new bios from flash drive?
I attempted this but my monitor is not receiving a signal. (My DRAM LED is on).
Please, any ideas on what to do?
try one stick of ram at a time
@@mikesunboxing I have tried that and it didn't work. Would it matter in which slots they were inserted? I tried with one in the A2 slot, then removed it and tried with the other in the B2 one.
More detailed:
I downloaded some GCC updates and when my pc restarted the DRAM light was on and there was no connection to monitor/keyboard/mouse.
I tried to reset memory with the manual button, and the red light was alternating between CPU and DRAM.
I tried resetting the CMOS, and the DRAM light was the only one on.
I tried booting with one of my two RAM sticks at a time to determine whether either of them was faulty, no difference.
What else can I try? I've read online to flash my bios but I'm not sure how that would work if the monitor/keyboard/mouse aren't connected.
Lastly, I attempted to flash bios but monitor won't respond. There is no signal.

If the motherboard rebooted and the lights were still on, do you approach it the same way? Just switch off the power supply and unplug the USB?
Yes , not much else you can do really
One question, I have the b650m x ax, I have the old BIOS version, should I update one at a time or get the latest one?
You should be able to go straight to the newest one
Dunno if you will see this Mike but here goes, nobody else wants to help or even can help with this problem.
I bought a Ryzen 8600G and the board that was recommended as compatible was the Gigabyte B650 D3HP AX. I followed all the correct instructions for flashing the bios using a bare board but it will not flash from the usb. Ive used usb2 phat 32 with the correct bios downloaded from GB web site but it just will not flash. Ive literally spent over 40 quid on usb drives trying to solve this problem but to no avail. Ive formatted them ala your instructions, renamed the bios etc, tried all the ports besides the dedicated port and used around 12 different usb drives that are phat 32 and nothing. The psu fan spins the usbs light up but nothing flashes like its supposed to.
I cant find any help on line besides all the stuff ive followed already your my last hope. Do you think it could be a fault with the board? I only have 10 days left to return it and i cant see any other alternative unless you have any suggestions. Cheers in advance.

At 9:04 you said to turn off MB and try again if this takes to long but shouldnt it be turned on while updating bios otherwise it could affect it or even kill MB?
if it is taking too long, that means it isn't flashing so it isn't a problem
I’ve done everything right I think but I’m not getting any light from the q flash. When I press the button, the motherboard turns on but then turns off. Do anyone know any possible solutions?

yes that is also possible if your processor is supported out of the box
@@mikesunboxing ah that’s the catch. There are processors that aren’t supported out of the box. Thanks. Today I learned!

@@mikesunboxinghey, thank you for this video. I booted my newly built computer and the BIOS didn’t recognize both sticks of RAM. Unplugged one and then I was able to get into the BIOS and update from USB and I used your tip of renaming the downloaded file to a .bin. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

One Question, which, Software do i have to choose, when i have the Gigabyte B650 Gaming x AX v2 Rev 1.0, because on the gegabyte website there are no revision numbers.
get the newest version
Mike, I have 1.0v board and it has running for a while with a Ryzen 5 7600x which was a Starfield combo package from Best Buy, cpu/board/game =$289.99. I have been trying to flash a working system that has F4 bios and doing it the way that I flash all my MSI b550 /x470 /x450/b350 boards flash on a work system, the issue is Q Flash always says that it can't read the image, maybe I need to rename the file as you did and also check the usb drive.
I really want to flash a working system just like my MSI board do, copy and paste the file.
check you have the right board and revision and the bios matches, it should update easily in theory
@@mikesunboxing after renaming the file as you did and being in the right usb slot it worked in Q flash bios level on a working system, thanks for the help!
My computer is bricked after trying to update to FB3b. I tried this Q-flash method but it’ll flash and shutdown after 5 seconds. I read somewhere that it has to be 32GB or less. Is that true? I only have a 64GB stick
yes it needs to be either 32GB or a smaller than 32GB partition on the drive, we have done a video on how to create a smaller partition for BIOS flashing
Cool guide 👍👍
thank you
Hi Mike, I have a problem with my b650m elite ax rev1.3, when I try to flash with the button the light only blinks for 10 seconds and then goes off but the cpu light is still on
wrong file or the usb isn't compatible maybe
Not sure if anyone will see this but there are other files in the update download. Should all of those be on the drive with the bin file?
No just the bios
Hello, I have upgraded my cpu to a i9 13900 on my B760M Gaming X DDR4 motherboard, it boots until I get to the connect/profile selection phase where it freezes for a second then the PC turns off, it then turns back on and keeps doing this (it's worth noting the Cpu stays on during this whole process), I did update the Bios but I'm still facing the same problem, and yes I did check the Cpu fits on the motherboard

@@mikesunboxing thank you for the very quick response in a 5 month old video, I'll ask in the Discord when I have enough time to be working on my PC, I tried a lot of things and I'm currently hinging on replacing my PSU because it is quite old and probably doesn't have enough power to run my "new" config (300W to run a 3060RTX, 2*32GB of DDR4 3600MHz RAM, a 1To powerful SSD I don't remember the name and now an i9 13900 instead of a i5 13400 is probably too little, what do you think), I forgot to mention but when switching back to the old CPU it works perfectly fine, it probably even works better now with the BIOS update
Is wifi stable?
I recently build one with v2, but wifi is aweful.
Whenever computer goes to sleep, wifi isn’t there. Need to restart both pc and router. So annoying.
yes it has been fine for us, are you using the newest bios and drivers from the gigabyte site
Great video. However, I've been having issues after installing the latest bios. Just goes to black screen. Switched RAM position, cleared cmos, used display/hdmi straight to mother board and still a black screen. This was my last hope and yet it still didnt work. It blinks for a few seconds then turns off. Also have this exact motherboard. Any suggestions? Should I buy another board?
blinking for a few seconds is usually either a non supported USB stick or the file is wrong or damaged, try another drive maybe, or the board is just dead / dying
Great Video, many thanks!
Thank you too!
When I press my q-flash button, no light appears on the back plate, but power is supplied to the board for a moment every second or so. It stops when I stop pressing the button.
short circuit somewhere? is it a bare board?
@mikesunboxing There is nothing else connected to the board. When everything is connected and the tower is powered on the fans and rgb are constantly powered. It's only when pressing the q-flash button that they whole board flickers on and off.
@mikesunboxing Essentially, when I'm pressing the q-flash button, the CPU light flashes and when I let go it stops flashing. At no point does the q-flash light come on.

I'm currently working with this motherboard on my new mid gaming build and after some issues getting it to actually power on, my issue now is the Red CPU LED lit up on the motherboard, I'm going down the list of solutions from videos like this and if you'd like I can update once I figure out what's causing the issue, it's been a long time since building a PC and my OCD mind has me thinking that there may be something dirtying the CPU connectors which are gold plates so after I double check and clean it all with Isopropyl alcohol hopefully can share some good news
checked the EPS power connections?
@mikesunboxing yes I have, I took a friend's advice and after cleaning the cpu which didn't appear dirty and had no bent pins or anything the cpu light was on with only the cpu in the motherboard, so I started connecting everything else individually to see if there was any change tried each ram stick in each memory slot both individually and paired, reconnected the GPU, then the SATA SSD, tried different pin connectors for all the fans , have the cpu fan connected and 3 system fans, needless to say I have looked over the entire build configuration and can confirm 100% nothing is out of place, other things I've tried;
-Took cmos battery out and reset the bios via the connectors
-Tried the reset button underneath the 24 pin connectors
-followed this guide to update by q flash for the latest bios version
Still, all I have is powering on with the Red CPU LED and nothing displaying on the monitor, I've tried all hdmi and display port outputs but nothing shows

hello, couple of questions... Is it ok if i update the bios with my gpu, ram and cpu plugged in? Or atleast only with the cpu because the cooler is a bit tricky to come off. Also, when they release a new bios update file does it include the fixes from the previous updates? For example i have the version 1 and i want to jump to version 5, does version 5 include the fixes from 2,3,4?
yes that is fine, you can do it with a fully built system, it is just harder to diagnose it if it won't flash. and yes bios updates roll up previous versions
the led turns on for 2-3 seconds and then goes off and nothing happens, what could be the problem? nothing is connected
it can't read the USB or the file
@@mikesunboxing it must be no more than 32 gb and be connected only in 1 of those 2 ports?

Hi! I'm attempting to update my BIOS to the most recent version to possibly prevent PC crashes when playing games. I have the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice and the problem I'm running into is my USB is not showing up the update bios files in BIOS itself when I enter Q-Flash. I've been following tutorials online and I've mainly been following Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite tutorials with no luck. I was wondering if you had an idea to what was going on. In the actual BIOS update files there is a PDF showing me how to update my BIOS with EFI Shell so that is what I'm currently attempting to do at the moment. I also want to say just in case you think my USB might be faulty,: I've tried multiple USBs so I do not think that is the case. Your help would be greatly appreciated and I apologize for dragging this comment on for so long. Thanks again!
possible the file is wrong are your version or revision of the board doesn't match the bios?
@@mikesunboxing could you explain?
@@aqostle each board has a model number and also a revision number printed on the box and board itself. you nust have the correct model and revision number for the correct bios

Is this also true with B650M Aorus Elite? Great tutorial!
yes it is the same principle
Thanks Micheal. Shat myself then. 😂Updated new b650. Stick wasnt in fat 32. Ai my arse. Arxxole intelligence more like.🙆♀️❤👊🏼
glad it helped, all working well now?
I have a problem when updating BIOS, I have everything ready and when I press the button my motherboard turns on the CPU light and turns off. Help please 😢
sounds like a short circuit somewhere or the PSU not connected correctly
@@mikesunboxing I tested it with 2 different power supplies and with the first one only the white LED lit up when the motherboard receives power and with the second one it did what I mentioned first.

My new b650e elite x ax ice with 7800x3d and F5-6000J3040G32G is only posting with a single stick. Each of them works without issues alone even @6000MT/s - spend hole day trying out several bios versions, cleared cmos like 30x, cpu wiggle - nothing helps so far
that is odd, maybe a bad board or needs a bios update
Hi Mike... I just purchased a new mobo (aorus b650e elite ice) with 7800x3d. Problem though it says boot loader failed. It has 3 options that include ENTER BIOS but nothing happens if i click any option.
Would bios flash help me resolve this issue?
worth trying it
hi, thanks for the vid. when i press the q flash button the motherboard turns on for a moment then turns back off. i took out my gpu and ram incase those were somehow the issue and it still does the same thing. any ideas?
could be a short circuit somewhere or a faulty case reset or power switch
Good video bro, thank so much!!
No problem!
will this work if the whole pc is put together? it’s my first build and didn’t realize i needed to download bios. i followed the steps and when i held button the pc turned on then quickly off
sounds like a short circuit of something like the power button is stuck
how to know which rev motherboard i have?
It will be shown on the box and the board in print
i just bought the b760 for my new intel cpu, but the red dbug light turns on and it keeps shutting off with no display. is getting the usb going to fix it?
if it shuts off that sounds like a thermal problem or the power button is stuck or faulty
hi, can i follow these steps to update my gigavyte x670 aorus elite ax as well?
yeah same principle just a different bios file
@@mikesunboxing Awesome, thank you
I ordered arous b650m elite ax with r7 7800x3d do i need to flash bios ?
probably unless it is very fresh stock, and it is worth doing for the security and performance side of things
@@mikesunboxing how I'm going to know if it's fresh bios ?
Ive just updated my motherboard but i found out it was an rev 1.0 and it wont update the bios again what should i do
I was and still am struggling. I joined your discord to get help, the guy just basically said "don't bother doing it" "if it's working, you don't need to bios update" totally not helpful at all!
reading back it seems you were struggling with the concept of unzipping or extracting the bios files? it that still the case
The problem wad/is there is no unzip option from what I can see.
Hey Mike, do you need the cpu power connector connected to the motherboard. Or is it an option?
i think you need it, but you are welcome to try it without and report back how it goes
@@mikesunboxing I will try to remember to report back 😅
I have more than 1 file in the downloaded folder. I have:
- EFI (folder)
- B650AELITEAXICE.F30 (F30 file)
- efiflash SOP (pdf)
- Efiflash.efi
- flash.nsh
what do i do?
rename the f30 file ignore the rest
after creating a new volume, i could only select NTFS and exFAT. i chose exFAT. does this also work?
no sorry, it needs to be a fat32 partition, maybe your drive is too big and needs a smaller partition created on it. We have a video on how to do that as well
@@mikesunboxing thank you. i just figured that out myself, it is a 64 gb stick. i will try to create a partition or just find a smaller one
bios updates scare me enough as is so i will just stick to doing it through the bios settings knowing my luck doing it this way i will mess something up and have an expensive paper weight
you do it however you feel comfortable with. Thanks for watching
@@mikesunboxing oh I know I was just saying I know all of the things that can happen if you get the wrong bios or a power outage or surge happens at that moment in time it's a important thing to update but not fun to do once you start the process cause there's no backing out till it finishes and is hopefully successful and your welcome glad I found your channel very informative
Hey dude good video but how I did it was I plugged in usb drive and then formatted it to fat32 and then downloaded the bios. After I copy and pasted it to the usb drive and then I extracted it and deleted the name except for the dashes. Now I see in the usb drive that there are two files one EFI which just has a boot file and then one bios file with like 5 different parts to it? Is this correct? Can I just change the bios to gigabyte.bin and then eject the drive? Thank you man
yes you just want the bios file and unzip it and rename it
@@mikesunboxing ahhh I see thank you but another question? What happens if I don’t unzip it? Would that mess things up?? I finished ejected the usb but not sure if I unzipped it. Thank you
Okay so I’ve finally updated my bios thinking that it’d solve my problem of monitor not displaying whenever I restart pc but it didn’t work :(
But do you know why it’s like that? My pc seems to work fine except the restarting part. Monitor no display but pc is still on and the dram led light is red???
Please help thank you :(
Also good video too thank you dude I finally updated bios after so long thanks to you :D
sounds like a ram training issue. either reset the cmos or try one stick of ram at a time
@@shrimpfryry6927 Did you ever find a fix currently struggling with that dram light as well
@@gabrielgonzales1860 did you have the same problem with a restart issue? Or was it something different??
@@gabrielgonzales1860 hey did you end up fixing it??? I think it’s a problem with ram did a windows memory diagnostic and detected problems and will do memtest soon. Did you find or fix anything???
Thanks🤓
dude!
Muy bien explicado.
Hi, does the ver 2 of this mobo still needs to be q-flash?
I would recommend flashing it anyway regardless as there are always new security fixes and stability patches that need to be applied
You mister, you just sabe my life :D
haha glad to hear it, have a great day
super helpful thanks a lot
Glad it helped!
Mine flashed for about a minute and a half is that okay?
sounds quick but might be okay
So my pc just turns on when i hold and then it turns itself off after a while
power button or reset stuck?
@@mikesunboxingso I have taken everything out of my pc and doing it the way you have shown me on the video, the board flashes quickly for a minute but then turns itself off and stops flashing so I don't know what's going on
@@mikesunboxing Have similar issue here. Following your instruction, I was able to get the Q-flash light to flash for one minute, looks like everything was running. but then it turns off. then I tried RST-SW, as well as short circuit the RST pins, the mobo does not turn on.
On the second try, I put in GPU/RAM, then Q-flash it up. GPU and CPU Coolor fans running; PSU fan not running; RAM led light went up. No Graphic output. The Q-flash light was flashing for 1 min then turns everything off. then RST_SW and RST pins, still not turned on.
For now I'm suspecting on the RST pings and button not working, will wait for the case to come in and try it with the case switch

Couldn't Change the £2 to fiver lol, sent 3x£2 Have a pint on my m8
thank you very much, really appreciate it
Yippie
buddy. You really wanted to suck all the life out of something so simple. So much unnecessary fluff
maybe consider others that need the time and extra detail as they are a little scared to do this. These videos go out to a very wide range of people some of them possibly their first ever build.
