You only need the latest BIOS unless stated in the description section for each BIOS which in that case update to that BIOS first then to the latest. Also remember use a thumbdrive 16GB or smaller formatted in FAT32
This reminds me of school: where the teacher can only go as fast as the slowest student. So I can't really complain about the speed, even if it's slow to me. But very thorough and easy to follow guides (I've followed this and the flash update version). Solid work, thank you.
Incredibly helpful video! Followed all steps and it worked perfectly. Learned my bios were 2 years out of date and causing instability issues. Your video had all the info I was looking for. Thank you! PS: I used a PNY 32gb USB 3.2 thumb drive and the system detected it first try, larger thumb drives work on x670-e
Thank you for this! Just had to do a BIOS update for the first time in my life with the issues around 13th gen Intel CPUs right now. Your video made it so easy!
I was wondering why my cpu was running my ram at 1k instead of 3k MHz. After trying all other solutions the last one was to update my bios. Thank you for the in depth demonstration, you saved me a lot of time!
I was not sure I could do it, but I got her done. So, thank you. However, my SATA drives vanished, took me several hours but I got them back. I kept getting a message to go to the advanced mode then to boot and then to CSM and then to enable boot device. Only thing there was No CSM. Well, there was I stumbled upon it, it was hidden under the boot menu. My bios looks different than yours.
Thank You Kryos for very informative video but i have only one question did you press "Ok" button at the end of update where is "Update successfully! System will be reset!" or its just turned off by itself? Its somewhere around 17:47 or 17:48.
I updated my bios a few months ago but reading the bios update file on my main SSD instead of using a thumb drive. Thinking about doing another BIOS update, but i was wondering is it more safe to do it on a separate thumb drive? Just wondering why you used a separate thumb drive in the video.
In one video I watched updating an ASUS Motherboard the USB was 32GB and when I click on the ZIP File the size is less than 16GB. I have the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 DARK HERO Motherboard and the BIOS was the original first in the series and when I updated to the latest version I could not BOOT with 4 Dims. When I updated back to the original BIOS I can now BOOT again with four Dims. I have CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4 x 32GB RGB.
Finally i was able to update my Bios, my God, so many confusing videos... Thank you. One more thing, other than bios, in Asus site, they have lots of motherboard drivers, do I need them or the bios is enough?
Windows should take care of most of the drivers in the rare occasion that they don't you can download the Intel assistant tool and download them that way if there is any and then remove that piece of software after you're done with it
Question: If you have never updated the BIOS with an ASUS desktop system and the latest version is more than 10 upgrades to the most recent. Do you upgrade one at a time or just jump to the newest version?
I followed your entire video to upgrade my ASUS PRIME Z790-P D4 motherboard. I bought a new 16Gb USB stick and formatted it as you suggested. I entered the bios, located in the pen the file for the update to version 1645 and came to the "EzFlash - Do you want to read this file?" page. --- I clicked yes and the mouse pointer is frozen like in your video. The progress bar is not visible, I started the upgrade at 9.37pm and moved away from the computer as you suggest. It is now 10.07 pm and the screen has not changed at all. In my opinion the system has frozen and I'm afraid to turn off the PC! Hope you read the message soon, thanks in advance for your help.
I have a question: I'm upgrading from Ryzen 3 3300X AM4 socket to Ryzen 7 5800X AM4 (of course) on an Asus motherboard Ryzen serie 5000 ready. Do I have to install the bios update with the Ryzen 3 already installed before the upgrade or after the new one currently running on the old bios... ?! I don't want to fail that one.
Can you specify why the USB stick should be 16 GB or smaller? I can't find anything on the Asus website other than and I quote: "Requirements Tool: Prepare a USB flash drive with a capacity of 1GB or more. *Requires a single sector USB flash drive in FAT16 / 32 MBR format."
Well because smaller drivers are normally formatted in FAT or FAT32. This means older MBs and new MBs can read the file. With a larger thumbdrive it might be farmatted in NTFS then older MBs can't read the file or it is just not there. Just easier for new people to have less trouble updating it.
@@PlanetKryos i see where you comming from, however either way I read it on Asus website or from your last response, the essence is the format and not the size of thumbdrive. I have a 32gb thumbdrive formated as FAT32 which i want to use for a new mobo. Should i be concerned?
@@PlanetKryos I tried it and had no issues. I used a 32gb USB (FAT32 formatted) to update BIOS on the Asus ROG Strix Z790-H. I used BIOS USB port at the back of the mobo and started the update through the BIOS itself. 😃
I have one issue sir when a start the update this is come out after DO YOU WANT TO READ THIS FILE? Its comes out Selected file is not a proper bios! NOTE: to rollback the bios to a previous versuon using CAP FILE, enable bios image rollback support and the press f10 to save before updating the bios. Whatbis this sir?

I am from Ukraine and i have Asus ROG Strix b650e f gaming wifi. I have already made more than 20 attempts to update the BIOS, it does not work, it crashes at the start of the download. Maybe the problem is in the exfat 64 gb flash drive?
@@PlanetKryos you know what was the mistake, in the overclocked hardware. As soon as I reset the BIOS settings to default, the update went. Maybe someone will find this information useful
Folliwed all the steos now i get the screen where it takjs about ftpm and says press y to reset or n to cintinue to boot i have to press n to get into windows but everytime i boot my pc it makes me press n anyway to remove this
good idea to put the bios file on the same usb as the windows installer? if i update bios of the usb and it restarts could it then midway through updating boot off the usb?
I have a problem, While the update i saw the screen black then i turned off the laptop and now it dosen't work anymore. What can i do for that problem? You an idea?
I haven't updated my Bios yet, but stucked at EzFlash trying to read the file when i pressed yes. Is this normal? Or anyway i can restart my pc again? I haven't updated it just stuck reading the file.

Hello sir Today i will change my 12400f to 13600k with b660 tuf d4 motherboard Already updated bios version 2212(newest is 2402) and update ME tool newest like you 16.1.25.2020 version, my motherboard ready for 13th gen or not ? I would be very grateful if you reply to this comment quickly Thanks sir *Um sorry to say but you need to show us on video before updating bios version you need to update ME tool because its really important *
BIOS ver 2212 could have run the 13th gen as it was. 2403 is the newest and you don't absolutly need the ME. It is not only the ME but the firmware as well you can update for that.
I bought a system with 1 stick of ram and added 2 more sticks for a total of 3 in a 4 slot mobo it came with xmp on after updating bios should I also turn it back on?
@@PlanetKryos So would you suggest that I take out one of the Stick of RAM and only have two sticks running? I'm a heavy gamer by the way or would you suggest I just turn off that setting?
Thanks for the feedback I ran Memtest86 and got an error just 1 so I updated the Bios and ran it again on all 3 sticks no error your video was helpful I appreciate it take care and have a good weekend I will be considering a return of the 2 sticks and then buying 4 new ones. @@PlanetKryos
smallest USB flash drive i can find is a 32GB one haha. I have a brand new 128GB one i was hoping to use. shooooot Edit: my 128gb flash drive was pretty set to fat32 and worked perfectly. Thank you for a smooth guide that didn't make me hop 50 times to 8 different videos.
XMP is not for everybody and nor can you turn XMP on with any Ram. In addition to all that I was not explaining exactly how XMP Works nor telling everybody how exactly to do it it was just my own little thing on that computer that was it.
Im around 16:10, I did all the steps, my motherboard model is a PRIME Z790-P WIFI D4, and it says the file is not a proper BIOS. i have the proper .CAP in my usb, unless its my usb stick itself. Thank you!
You only need the latest BIOS unless stated in the description section for each BIOS which in that case update to that BIOS first then to the latest.

Does it benefit in any way by doing a bios update? I got a ASUS B550-E with 3700x I build ,over 2 years ago and never updated the bios

You need to update before new cpu install. Or if you have the flash back option on your MB, you can do it without a cpu installed.
