It's approaching midnight near the end of a long day, and I just successfully updated the BIOS on my Gigabyte motherboard thanks to your instructions. You all are awesome.
You are amazing! Thank you so much for making this video! You can't believe how much this helps. Gigabyte really needs to have clearer instructions on how to do this on their website.
I looked up a video just like this to update my X570 bios when I bought my new processor last year. This was a much better, cleaner, how to Video, Thanks. 👍
This is great but resetting to defaults will turn off any XMP profiles(if applicable) for your ram’s max speed. Make sure you reenable your XMP profile in Bios if you do load defaults to get full use of your ram’s speed
Holy heck thank you SO much!! The idea of updating my bios has been so scary given I don't want to mess anything up and ruin my system. You made it so clear and easy, VERY much appreciated ♥
I'm running into the same problem, but i want to update the bios without a flash drive and it's proving to be a hassle because the manufacturer's App Center isnt working properly. Pesky pc tech always evolving...
What a nice lady. She must know Gigabyte's App Central software is useless, whether you're trying to update the BIOS from server or file. This worked like a charm, thanks
So glad this video was easy and straight forward. Needed to update my B550 to accept the 5000 series Ryzen CPU seeing I don't have a disc drive for the disc that came with the motherboard.
Thorough and helpful. Your video filled in a crucial detail I had not yet found. Additional tip: make the partition scheme of your flash drive MBR, rather than GPT.
If anyone's having problems updating from an older BIOS version to a more current one try first updating to version f-32 before downloading the other updates (for people struggling with the wrong bios image error)
Thank you for sharing this information. I just followed your steps and updated my BIOS that was outdated by a few years. I was a little nervous about messing something up but i took it slow. Tip: Make sure your Flash Drive is FAT32/16 file system. It's required by Gigabyte otherwise it won't read it when trying to update the BIOS.
Thanks for the video! I’m always weary of updating the BIOS and Gigabyte’s support pages didn’t make it any easier. I also realised for the update to read the file, I needed to plug my USB drive into the “BIOS USB” port on the back of the motherboard as no other ports would work. But I probably should’ve worked that out way earlier lol.
What if we don't have BIOS USB port? I'm stuck on this step as my drive is not getting listed in the dropdown in the Q-Flash. EDIT:- I came across another comment by @Anthony Szabo that the flash drive should be of fat32/16 file system. Mine was NTFS. Once I updated my drive file system to fat32, it worked. You can easily find a guide to update the file system.
Be worried , after installing update my bios crashed and pc won’t start. I advise to double check and not make my mistakes , update ran but wasn’t compatible and now my pc on maintenance
I have one question, can I download the files on a different computer and update the bios before installing windows? Or do I need to install windows first because I have a Ryzen 5000 series processor.
I couldn't understand what your saying when restarting the computer sounds like your saying smash the dell button to get to the bios loading screen.. I don't have a dell button, if I hit delete it will take me to the regular bios..
On the gigabyte website when I find my motherboard do I have to worry about what the description says or should I just download and do as you did in the video?
Thank you so much. Very clear and informative instructions. First vod of yours I've watched but going to sub and see what else you can teach me before my next build!!! Muchos gracias!!!
Nice Video !! But you dont need all the 4 files, just the bios file, in this case the .33j file. Also there other ways to update the bios like the q-flash plus and @bios that you dont mention.
Hi I've been trying to update my z490 master but I keep getting an oelmd error and the gigabyte utility keeps failing, any ideas? I've checked that there is only one rev. And it's the aorus board
Really nice and clear video. Question for anyone out there who see this. I am building a brand new system with a Gigabyte board. I went to Gigabyte's website and there are several BIOS updates. Do I want to install the most recent and will it contain the pervious BIOS update information?
I'm facing unexpected issue. Would appreciate the help. While my window 7 is booting, if i press any keyboard key, the boot is getting stuck and because of that, im not able to get in bios or boot menu. Gigabyte H55M-S2 MoBo. Award Bios. Any idea for that???
One big thing to note, that took me a while to find. Depending on the bios version you have it may only recognize the update if the flash drive is formatted as fat32. Some later versions support ntsf. I spent more then an hour to find that out.

bro gave us a poem
You are amazing! Thank you so much for making this video! You can't believe how much this helps. Gigabyte really needs to have clearer instructions on how to do this on their website.
Glad it helped!
Thank you, guys ! I updated my B760I Aorus Pro, from F2 BIOS to F5 BIOS like a breeze. Kudos to your short, simple, and clear video !!!
Straight to the point, and simple explanation. Thank you
Video actually starts at 1:15, not really straight to the point at all.

The way the information is mentioned and how clear it is is just epic tysm guys!
This is really helpful. I found your tutorial more relevant and up-to-date than the gigabyte how to. Thank you very much.
The gigabyte how to reads like its out of 2003 lol
What a nice lady. She must know Gigabyte's App Central software is useless, whether you're trying to update the BIOS from server or file. This worked like a charm, thanks
thanks!
I've built/upgraded a dozen computers in the last 15 years, and somehow I've never had to upgrade the BIOS before. Thanks for the video!
So glad this video was easy and straight forward. Needed to update my B550 to accept the 5000 series Ryzen CPU seeing I don't have a disc drive for the disc that came with the motherboard.
Glad we could help!
This is the exact reason I’m updating!
Thorough and helpful. Your video filled in a crucial detail I had not yet found. Additional tip: make the partition scheme of your flash drive MBR, rather than GPT.
after 3 years still works love this vid
If anyone's having problems updating from an older BIOS version to a more current one try first updating to version f-32 before downloading the other updates (for people struggling with the wrong bios image error)
Still getting image error, guess try earlier ?
I get image error in the process of updating from F23 to F24. Anyone have a solution?
Thank you for sharing this information. I just followed your steps and updated my BIOS that was outdated by a few years. I was a little nervous about messing something up but i took it slow.
Tip: Make sure your Flash Drive is FAT32/16 file system. It's required by Gigabyte otherwise it won't read it when trying to update the BIOS.
How do I check that
@@OGslays right click the flash drive then properties and check the file system
thank u. i was wondering why it wasnt working and no one was showing it on youtube
Brilliant video, Clean and Step by Step and straight to the point. None of the heyyy guys and clickbait.
Thank you 😊
3y later & still helping. Just bought my pc yesterday & had to do my first ever bios update, tysm

Idk man, i just plugged mine into the back of the mobo and the files were recognized
Love how straight forward and to the point this instructional video is!
Yep, googled clicked and updated myself with no fear after watching it
Did you have that problem with the m.2 ssd on 12gen motherbaords??
Be worried , after installing update my bios crashed and pc won’t start. I advise to double check and not make my mistakes , update ran but wasn’t compatible and now my pc on maintenance
Thanks so much! First bios update I have ever done and you make this so simple for me! Subscribed!
Glad it helped!

Qflash cannot detect BIOS update file from my flash drive
Remember: You need to be in easy mode to find the option in the right side of the screen!
Hey man I have no idea what to do nothings showing on the right side it’s really confusing
OMG, thank you for this very clear explanation of what can be a scary process.
Q-Flash is easy to use Q-Flash plus though on motherboard hasnt worked on any of my previous 5 boards from them
You didnt mention that usb drive has to be formated to FAT32. In order to be visible in bios
Thank you, needed a double check on how to do this
Hi. Does it matter which USB port the drive is connected?
thank you so much i was geniunely scared but it worked
Short video, straight to point. Thanks a lot
Does it need a clean flash drive?
You save me from refunding my new processor I thought it was defective lol, thank you
I couldn’t do it

I have one question, can I download the files on a different computer and update the bios before installing windows? Or do I need to install windows first because I have a Ryzen 5000 series processor.

Clear, accurate and concise. Thanks very much!
I did everything correctly it’s telling me “Invalid Bios Image” help please!
yea me too. im very annoyed.
Can you update without USB?
so if i have overclocks and certain settings in the bios, they will be put back to default (overclocks, XMP etc) and i will need to do it over again?
Would this be possible on the b450m?
On the gigabyte website when I find my motherboard do I have to worry about what the description says or should I just download and do as you did in the video?
Thank you . Just make sure the usb is in format MS-DOS(fat32) , it was the only format it worked for me .
why would gigabyte control center dont show the latest available bios?
I downloaded the required files and put it on my flash, when I go to update bios I can't find the flashdrive?
I was so scared to update bios for some odd reason thank you so much
It's quite simple so there's no reason to be scared. Happy to help :)
You are amazing for making this video, thank you so much!
Good... quick but effective explain :-) its work for me.. thanks a lot!
Thank you so much. Very clear and informative instructions. First vod of yours I've watched but going to sub and see what else you can teach me before my next build!!! Muchos gracias!!!
DO I NEED A BLANK USB? or even with a file on it will work?
Nice Video !! But you dont need all the 4 files, just the bios file, in this case the .33j file. Also there other ways to update the bios like the q-flash plus and @bios that you dont mention.
Can I skip all the previous bios from F5 to F8?
Hi I've been trying to update my z490 master but I keep getting an oelmd error and the gigabyte utility keeps failing, any ideas? I've checked that there is only one rev. And it's the aorus board
What format for USB? NTFS, FAT32, ExFAT?
What if i checked the "also update bios backup" accidentally?
Thank you so much. This was very easy to go along with. U just got a sub 👍
Thanks for the sub!
This process still works… and thank you.

My bios doesn’t recognise the usb drive, does it need to be formatted a certain way?
Really nice and clear video. Question for anyone out there who see this. I am building a brand new system with a Gigabyte board. I went to Gigabyte's website and there are several BIOS updates. Do I want to install the most recent and will it contain the pervious BIOS update information?
I can't do this my bios is different

Bios isn’t detecting my USB at all
Can anyone explain to me why is this info or link not on the Gigabyte bios page?
I have Had BSOD only when playing games after 5-10minutes with X570 Aorus Elite and Ryzen 7 5800x.
Bios was F32
Any suggestions?
can't update says invalid bios image 😪
Thanks for this. One of my RAM slots kept working on and off, but after the update they seem to be stable.
format a small drive to fat32 btw
One big thing to note, that took me a while to find. Depending on the bios version you have it may only recognize the update if the flash drive is formatted as fat32. Some later versions support ntsf. I spent more then an hour to find that out.
none of gigabytes boards support ntfs
when i enter the bios, i dont see the file? help? at the bottom it just shows (A: Unknown device) and EFI at the top. Help?
can i use my phone instead of usb thing
