I have my ram and cpu installed already, do you know if I have to take them out to flash bios, or should it be fine. Im running 5600x/Aorus Elite wifi x570
Hi! I'm a noob at anything pc here but trying to learn. My current build is using a 3700x and I want to upgrade to the 5800x. Will I need to remove everything from the motherboard to do this bios update for the 5800x? Just looking for clarification. Thanks for your vid!
This was the last video of yours I watched so I figure I'll comment -- you are the only person who's videos helped me build my computer. I was stuck trying to flash my bios for my ryzen 5800x but nothing worked. I had no idea I didn't need the entire folder, just the file. After following your steps to a T the orange light finally started posting and the flash is now working. You may not even read this, but your guides are incredible. Thank you sir.
Great video :D For anyone having trouble with the q-flash button on the board itself, if you happen to be using an external drive make sure to specifically only format a small(i used 8gbs) sized partition as exfat/fat32 instead of formatting the entire capacity of the drive. The q-flash button wouldn't work for me until I limited the fat32 partition size to 8gb on my 1tb external drive as opposed to formatting the whole 1tb as fat32. Fixed the issue and the q-flash button then worked like a charm. Hope this helps anyone running into the same issue! gl out there gamers
I'm using a 64G thumb drive, used rufus to format it to FAT32, and copied the gigabyte.bin file to it, but I still can't get a flashing light from the q-flash button. Any ideas on where I may have gone wrong?
@@FifthPinned Only thing I can recommend is formatting only an 8,000 MB partition as FAT32 and using that partition to store the gigabyte.bin file. That's the only thing that got it to work for me :/
Wow I was behind like 4 updates. Thank you for the indepth guide. My bios had a bios command in the setting that you could boot it from so I did that way. Worked well thank you!
Thank you! I should have looked this up before installing my new 5950X last night, only to have to put the old CPU back in since it didn't even post. After initial panic and checking that I hadn't bent any pins I soon realized that I probably needed to upgrade the BIOS first, and this video gave the perfect instructions for it. *edit:* I forgot to mention, at 5:51 it says "I haven't installed the CPU or the RAM […] you can do it with it installed or not installed", but the manual says "Q-Flash Plus will update the main BIOS only if run *without the CPU* installed." (mb_manual_x570-features.pdf, page 6).
@@dlalleman3874just updated my bios with the cpu installed and it worked just fine. HOWEVER the flash button wouldn’t do anything for me until while the system was shutdown I flipped off my power supply waited a few seconds and turned JUST the power supply on, and while the pc was still shut off I hit the flash button and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps anyone who was confused
This video helped thanks a ton. Just got a 5950x and almost panicked. Did some research and someone mentioned the 5000 series may need bios update. Saw someone had mentioned swapping back to old cpu but i knew thatd take too long. Looked up alternate ways to flash bios and turned out my x570 can do so. Thank you so much for your help!
Exactly what I needed. I just bought this same CPU and motherboard and then I saw that it may need a BIOS update. Thanks for the great step by step instructions on how to do this.
thank you thank you! it's worth mentioning that using the default allocation table size may be required when formatting the flash drive. I tried this and it didn't work the first time with the allocation tables set to what windows had set, but... when i applied the 'device defaults' and tried again. worked like a charm. Thanks for the great video.
This video saved me hundreds of dollars yesterday. I got a new cpu, power supply and grahics card and nothing worked. I sat on the ground for hours, trying to get my pc to run. I was about to buy a new mainboard since it would not boot anymore, and maybe even cpu., All I had to do was flashing my bios. THANK YOU!
I should've searched this up over a year ago. I've been holding on to upgrading my 2700x for my 5900x for the simple reason that the BIOs update seem so alien to me. LOL this was an awesomely enjoyable and easy to follow video. Thanks a bunch!! awesomeness
Just got a conflict on PC Part Picket for a 5800x / X570 MSI for upgrading my stream, at least its just a bios flash, never had to do a bios flash in over 20+ years working with PCs / Hardware so appreciate the video fam =)
Q-Flashed before anything else here, and thanks to your help, it went good! Apart from a goof up on my end downloading the wrong bios (I have the X570 Pro Wifi, and I downloaded the x570 pro. The webpages look fucking identical.) Thanks for the short and concise tutorial.
@@boughtonpresale4232 it was just the mobo, a usb stick with the bios, and the power supply. It was easy. I used the manual and this video as a visual aid since since diagrams in manuals can be quite vague in some places and I'm more of a visual person.
On the Gigabyte website it refers to the wifi version as rev. 1.x and the non wifi version as rev. 1.0. The weird thing is... my Aorus X570 Elite wifi board literally says rev.1.0 on the board itself. So now I don't know if I should download the rev.1.0 BIOS or the rev.1.x BIOS. ???
Thanks for the video. I had a really unstable sytstem after installing the F35 bios on and Aorus Ultra and was at the end of my patience / skills trying to resolve. I follwed your video and I now have a stable system. It's much appreciated.
I'm a late bloomer, just got a used motherboard like this one. It didn't work, nothing no power or anything. I just followed your video, so now the BIOS is being updated, hopefully that will fix it. :) I watched several videos, before finding yours, thanks.
I am now ready for MW2 =) My 3080FE is already installed my X570, as of now I'm running my 3700x and it's running amazing on 1440p for all my titles. My 5600X just came in and I got it for a steal on Amazon. $88.35 because I had a $100.00 coupon that I didn't know about lol So I'll stay gaming and just wait for MW2 to come out, when I see the need to try and push more FPS I'll bio update and slap my new chip in. Thanks for the video, didn't realize how easy it is to update bios on this MOBO. Supper happy I bought this one back in late 2020.
I wasn’t able to figure out if it’s possible on a mac, so I borrowed my aunt’s laptop and it worked fine. Thank you for this tutorial, it helped a ton!
I just bought v2 of this board, but it is mostly the same thing. The only difference is the location of the QFlash plus button. Looking forward to putting this together later this week once my graphics card is in. Went ahead and pre-flashed this so I can save some time build day!
Thank you so much .. I am building my first gaming PC .. I become sad when i didn’t see and video signal on my monitor .. your clear explanation helped me to solve my issue thank you
Ok, so I just followed this tutorial to install the latest in my non-wifi x570 elite and almost shat bricks, first attempt and no screens, no keyboard/mouse led's, no cpu fan LEDs nothing. Redid the process and on the second try held the q-flash button for 10 seconds before releasing, happy to report that it completed properly this time, if you encounter this same issue, you may have only clicked the q-flash button, but you MUST hold it down for that 5-10 seconds.
Hi, I just wanted to know can I use this way for my X570 auros motherboard with all the components installed, I have the CPU, ram, CPU cooler, and m.2 installed. The led did lit up when I press the button and it did turn off after 3mins but the fans and the RGB on my ram still and the fans on my Psu didn't turn off. Should I wait 30 mins then turn off everything?.
I noticed at 06:44 your x570 Aorus Elite WIFI board says "rev.1.1" on the bottom left corner of the board? My x570 Aorus Elite wifi doesn't. Mine says "rev.1.0" on the board. And yet, on Gigabyte's website they list the WIFI board as rev.1.x and the non-WIFI board as rev.1.0
*Ok ok ok ok ok........I rarely say, I love somebody.......but damn it, you saved my life. I love you man* !!!! NOW I can decide either A. 5800x or B. 5900x and HOPE the board can accept 2 channels with 32 or 64 Gigs :)
Massively helpful as I just bought the gigabyte z490 that supports 10th and 11th gen Intel but requires a bios update. This is the only part that makes me nervous on this build
@@NorthernVikingEveryday I do have a question though. It looks like the support for 11th gen was a couple updates prior. Should I update to the most recent or just the one that has support for it? Or is that all in the newest update?
@@NorthernVikingEveryday I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for your video and responses. Built my PC yesterday and it worked swimmingly. Thanks again man
I just did this for the Aorus Master. It was very picky about USB drives. Nothing happened during a few attempts with the first two (different models). Then I found an older Sandisk SD card with a USB adapter, and that worked perfectly. All were formatted as FAT32 from windows 11. I’m not sure what the difference was. All up and running now. First time going back to team red since their Thunderbird days!
I flashed my bios from v11 to v35, for some reason on reboot it was bsod trying to pull a windows file from G: drive. So if this happens restart, jump into bios and set your boot options right to the drive that has your windows installed on it. Good luck
I downloaded the newest edition like you said the f36e now, placed the usb into the bios flash back slot and press the button but no light goes on. Do you know why this would occur
It has been impossible for me to update this motherboard beyond the F30 version, it gives me an error that says "bios ID check error" I have tried it from the windows with the gigabyte applications and from the same bios and nothing, could you help me?
@@chrispertab I was able to solve it, I installed the first version that the motherboard comes from the factory and then I was gradually updating, of course with the usb in fat32.
If your light does not work, my fix was that my flash drive was far too large(128gb). I used an old smaller one (couldn’t have been more than 32gb-64gb) and worked fine. It also took a few seconds to start doing anything, so don’t be alarmed if it isn’t instant.
I have one question if my flash drive is 64GB and it says it’s exfat default but I do some coding and it changed the property to FAT 32 will that still work for the bios update?
Thank you for being so detailed. My x570 is also version 1.1 which made me hesitate to flash the board thinking that the newest bios version was for version 1.0 boards. unboxing mine, it had f30 bios. im running 5600x. Updating bios gave resizable bar. I was having issues connecting PCIE risers for more than 2 cards. Im not sure if the bios helped or if it was that I changed the bifurification to 4x4.
Awesome video and really appreciate the effort and time to upload. I want to build an all AMD build but was finding the updating a little daunting. I imagine this is the same process for all brands? Looking at MSI currently.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I installed the F36e version of the BIOS on my motherboard and i am facing a lot of issues with it. For example, in the bios screen it shows that my secure boot is enabled but when i log into windows and check system info, it shows secure boot off. because of this, i cant play certain games. after watching your video, i am planning to qlash and update the bios to F37 and see if that works out the issue or not. i would be very grateful if you have any insights on this. thank you once again for a great video. :)
This video is going to be a lifesaver, ok maybe that's over dramatic. But, I do have a question before I try. Can I leave everything plugged in as is, or should I remove anything?
Make sure the format on your USB flash drive is FAT32. If the flash drive is over 32gb, you can't format it to FAT32. Use a smaller drive. The file is only 16MB or so.
I know this is an old thread. But I just want to add, I have the x570s. I accidentally downloaded the x570 bios. Tore my pc apart. Tried the usb and qflash with literally all my pc internals removed. Nothing worked. I tried from within the bios. I tried the @bios utility that you can download from gigabyte…All because I downloaded the wrong bios version. I forgot I had the “s” freaking… yup….Keep in mind…. I’ve been working as an IT professional for 15 years. I just want to say that so you know… anyone can have a holy crap how am I so stupid moment. It doesn’t matter who you are. That is all!
Thank you for the help! I had one question: if I have the 5600X, should I stick with the F30 or just get the lastest BIOS version like you did? Will it be incompatible with the 5600X?
Hello, so ive been trying to flash my X570 but i get no blinking light whats so ever. Ive also have had nothing but issues with windows on this mother board. any ideas?
I pushed the button and nothing happened except for the usb flashing. Does that mean it worked? Also when I turned the power supply on the motherboard lit up for half a second then turned off. Is this normal?
Nevermind that I figured out my problem! I downloaded the bios update for the gigabyte wifi board and I actually have the non wifi version😂. Oops oh well I got the right bios update and non it worked. But one last thing. The fan continued spinning after the light went off. I gave it like 10 min but it kept spinning. I ended up just shutting it down after that. You think it still worked?
Hello! Liked your vid. I'm doing a new install with this board. When I try to use Qflash, my usb will flash for a little bit, then stop. The light for Qflash will never come on. When I flip the power on my PSU the lights on the board will flicker, then turn off. I'm also unable to jump start the board. Do you have any advice? I've opened a ticket with Gigabyte, but of course I've yet to hear back from anyone. Thanks in advance. You've earned a sub.
I would double check to make sure your power supply is connected to the motherboard securely. Other than that I would say a ticket with gigabyte would probably be your best bet. I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems. If you are able to figure it out let us know here in the comments.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday Putting this out there for anyone that was having trouble like me. I removed the cpu and ram, grabbed yet another USB drive (did a full format to fat32) & used the F32 bios version. For some reason or another this finally was able to be Qflashed. Afterwards I installed my ryzen 7 5800x, my Ram, a crappy gpu & viola! I can post now. I was able to jump this board using a screwdriver touching pins 3&4 (from the top left) I hope this can help anyone that was struggling with this board as much as I was. Cheers.
I also have the same problem, i think its just windows 10 in general. I have 5 thumbdrives that are 2.0 and 3.0 and i've read that 2.0 are more effective. I downloaded and created the files and used the same exact steps but the q-flash is not working so i constantly format the flash drives in a windows 10 computer. Then, after hours of work, i tried to use my Macbook for the gigabyte.bin file, put it in the MOBO and now its working! I was honestly a little close to go back to Canada Computers and let them do it LMAO.
Great video man I just got a question. Since I have a zen 2 CPU and I'm getting the CPU you are using in the video can I update/flash with my old CPU, ram and GPU (that I'm not changing) in the motherboard or do I HAVE to remove them in order to update/flash the mobo.
I'm no pro, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to remove them. The more updated BIOS I believe just adds *additional support. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

@@dlalleman3874 what did y'all end up doing?
Thank you sir! I forgot to update my bios before my CPU upgrade
Glad I could help 😃👍
Thanks Kenny. Really helpful.
You're welcome 👍
Thank you very much for this tutorial. Immensely helpful.
You're very welcome 👍
I noticed at 06:44 your x570 Aorus Elite WIFI board says "rev.1.1" on the bottom left corner of the board? My x570 Aorus Elite wifi doesn't. Mine says "rev.1.0" on the board. And yet, on Gigabyte's website they list the WIFI board as rev.1.x and the non-WIFI board as rev.1.0
When I pressed the flash button the light it didn't turn on. Did I do something wrong?
*Ok ok ok ok ok........I rarely say, I love somebody.......but damn it, you saved my life. I love you man* !!!!
NOW I can decide either A. 5800x or B. 5900x and HOPE the board can accept 2 channels with 32 or 64 Gigs :)
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
Massively helpful as I just bought the gigabyte z490 that supports 10th and 11th gen Intel but requires a bios update. This is the only part that makes me nervous on this build
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday I do have a question though. It looks like the support for 11th gen was a couple updates prior. Should I update to the most recent or just the one that has support for it? Or is that all in the newest update?
For myself personally I would choose the newest update but it's up to you.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday thank you so much for your time and quick response. I will go with the newest.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for your video and responses. Built my PC yesterday and it worked swimmingly. Thanks again man
I just did this for the Aorus Master. It was very picky about USB drives. Nothing happened during a few attempts with the first two (different models). Then I found an older Sandisk SD card with a USB adapter, and that worked perfectly. All were formatted as FAT32 from windows 11. I’m not sure what the difference was. All up and running now. First time going back to team red since their Thunderbird days!
Thanks for the tip. 👍
Yeah, I've tried a couple different thumb drives and nothing is happening... guess I'll try a different one, thanks for the tip
Great instructional video as usual!! Thank you!
My pleasure!
I flashed my bios from v11 to v35, for some reason on reboot it was bsod trying to pull a windows file from G: drive. So if this happens restart, jump into bios and set your boot options right to the drive that has your windows installed on it. Good luck
Bro you may have just saved my computer.
Glad I could help 😃
I downloaded the newest edition like you said the f36e now, placed the usb into the bios flash back slot and press the button but no light goes on. Do you know why this would occur
I'm doing that right now and am having that problem did you fix it?
Down grade
For anyone having issues, i had to hold my button for about 10-15 seconds
Thank you for this comment. I was straight starting to panick
Thank you my friend, you save my life!
You're very welcome 👍
It has been impossible for me to update this motherboard beyond the F30 version, it gives me an error that says "bios ID check error" I have tried it from the windows with the gigabyte applications and from the same bios and nothing, could you help me?
Same here no clue what to do
@@chrispertab I was able to solve it, I installed the first version that the motherboard comes from the factory and then I was gradually updating, of course with the usb in fat32.
I'm assuming this also works with the non wifi version? Anyways, beautiful tutorial, so easy to follow!
If your light does not work, my fix was that my flash drive was far too large(128gb). I used an old smaller one (couldn’t have been more than 32gb-64gb) and worked fine. It also took a few seconds to start doing anything, so don’t be alarmed if it isn’t instant.
oh mine is 32 gigs ish but it still isn’t flashing 😢
Mine is flashing, but it still didn't boot after installation. I have a 20GB fat32
Very helpful. Thanks!
You're welcome 😃👍
Had to make a comment. Thanks for the help.
You're very welcome 👍
So freakin helpful, thank youuuuu!!!
🙏🙌
No problem 👍
I’ve followed everything you said but my LED to show it is downloading doesn’t light up. What could be a possible issue?
I have one question if my flash drive is 64GB and it says it’s exfat default but I do some coding and it changed the property to FAT 32 will that still work for the bios update?
I feel comfortable doing this now after watching this video.
But just to confirm, I can do this with the CPU and Ram plugged into the MB?
Thank you so much man! ❤
No problem 👍
Great helpful video!
Awesome 👍 Thanks for watching.
Thank you for being so detailed. My x570 is also version 1.1 which made me hesitate to flash the board thinking that the newest bios version was for version 1.0 boards. unboxing mine, it had f30 bios. im running 5600x. Updating bios gave resizable bar. I was having issues connecting PCIE risers for more than 2 cards. Im not sure if the bios helped or if it was that I changed the bifurification to 4x4.
You're welcome 👍 Thanks for watching.
Awesome video and really appreciate the effort and time to upload. I want to build an all AMD build but was finding the updating a little daunting. I imagine this is the same process for all brands? Looking at MSI currently.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I installed the F36e version of the BIOS on my motherboard and i am facing a lot of issues with it. For example, in the bios screen it shows that my secure boot is enabled but when i log into windows and check system info, it shows secure boot off. because of this, i cant play certain games. after watching your video, i am planning to qlash and update the bios to F37 and see if that works out the issue or not. i would be very grateful if you have any insights on this. thank you once again for a great video. :)
Bro, did you install to F37?
Awesome video though but I don’t even know if I should turn on the computer or not for the light to start flashing
Hey if i have a 16gb usb sandisk who creates one sandisk file in the usb storage can i install with it in q flash
This video is going to be a lifesaver, ok maybe that's over dramatic. But, I do have a question before I try. Can I leave everything plugged in as is, or should I remove anything?
Just a quick Q before I proceed. What is the reason behind changing the file extension to .bin?
I'm not sure what the official reason would be but that's what it says to do on the gigabyte website.
And if i did everything exactly right and I did not get the light to on the motherboard to flash? 😢
Make sure the format on your USB flash drive is FAT32. If the flash drive is over 32gb, you can't format it to FAT32. Use a smaller drive. The file is only 16MB or so.
I know this is an old thread. But I just want to add, I have the x570s. I accidentally downloaded the x570 bios. Tore my pc apart. Tried the usb and qflash with literally all my pc internals removed. Nothing worked. I tried from within the bios. I tried the @bios utility that you can download from gigabyte…All because I downloaded the wrong bios version. I forgot I had the “s” freaking… yup….Keep in mind…. I’ve been working as an IT professional for 15 years. I just want to say that so you know… anyone can have a holy crap how am I so stupid moment. It doesn’t matter who you are. That is all!
Hopefully you're able to get it fixed up.
Thank you for the help! I had one question: if I have the 5600X, should I stick with the F30 or just get the lastest BIOS version like you did? Will it be incompatible with the 5600X?
You can double check on the gigabyte website but usually it's best to go with the most recent version.
Thanks bro!
No problem 😀👍
Hello, so ive been trying to flash my X570 but i get no blinking light whats so ever. Ive also have had nothing but issues with windows on this mother board. any ideas?
Dude thank you so much, I needed to learn how to q-flash anyway, so why not try it with my computer, I did buy a r7 5700x and had to flash
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
I pushed the button and nothing happened except for the usb flashing. Does that mean it worked? Also when I turned the power supply on the motherboard lit up for half a second then turned off. Is this normal?
Nevermind that I figured out my problem! I downloaded the bios update for the gigabyte wifi board and I actually have the non wifi version😂. Oops oh well I got the right bios update and non it worked. But one last thing. The fan continued spinning after the light went off. I gave it like 10 min but it kept spinning. I ended up just shutting it down after that. You think it still worked?
Hello! Liked your vid. I'm doing a new install with this board. When I try to use Qflash, my usb will flash for a little bit, then stop. The light for Qflash will never come on. When I flip the power on my PSU the lights on the board will flicker, then turn off. I'm also unable to jump start the board. Do you have any advice? I've opened a ticket with Gigabyte, but of course I've yet to hear back from anyone. Thanks in advance. You've earned a sub.
I would double check to make sure your power supply is connected to the motherboard securely. Other than that I would say a ticket with gigabyte would probably be your best bet. I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems. If you are able to figure it out let us know here in the comments.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday Putting this out there for anyone that was having trouble like me. I removed the cpu and ram, grabbed yet another USB drive (did a full format to fat32) & used the F32 bios version. For some reason or another this finally was able to be Qflashed. Afterwards I installed my ryzen 7 5800x, my Ram, a crappy gpu & viola! I can post now. I was able to jump this board using a screwdriver touching pins 3&4 (from the top left) I hope this can help anyone that was struggling with this board as much as I was. Cheers.
Thanks for the update! Glad you figured it out. 👍
I also have the same problem, i think its just windows 10 in general. I have 5 thumbdrives that are 2.0 and 3.0 and i've read that 2.0 are more effective. I downloaded and created the files and used the same exact steps but the q-flash is not working so i constantly format the flash drives in a windows 10 computer. Then, after hours of work, i tried to use my Macbook for the gigabyte.bin file, put it in the MOBO and now its working! I was honestly a little close to go back to Canada Computers and let them do it LMAO.
@@NorthernVikingEveryday It's a good board. Would make more sense if they included a cheap thumb drive or something to help eliminate the confusion.
Thank you soooo much
You're welcome 👍
Great video man I just got a question. Since I have a zen 2 CPU and I'm getting the CPU you are using in the video can I update/flash with my old CPU, ram and GPU (that I'm not changing) in the motherboard or do I HAVE to remove them in order to update/flash the mobo.
I'm no pro, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to remove them. The more updated BIOS I believe just adds *additional support. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Great video, thanks
No problem 👍
