Genuinely one of the most stright forward videos on BIOS Install ive ever seen. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I'm glad it was useful.
Finally switching from my B350-F I bought in 2017. Great guide, really easy to follow and everything was clear
Good to hear! Good luck with your new build!
Glenn this is one of the best videos on how to do something I've ever watched. Thank you!!!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Goodness gracious, I don't think I could have stumbled across a more useful video in my time of need. To the point, highlighting important steps, giving thorough info. Thank you
I'm glad the video was useful!
@@GlennBerrySQL My memory stick has only 2 option and thats NFTS and Exfat, how am i suposed to fix or continue ? my memory stick holds like 250 gb.
Hi Glenn, I am currently building a new PC and bought this motherboard on the day they released BIOS updates for the 7000X3D series issues. Your video was very helpful to update my BIOS before CPU installation. Thank you!
You are welcome! Good luck with your build.
I've built today and I cannot get it to boot at all. The mobo is getting power as the rbg is on, but there are no QLEDs lit up on mobo. Will flashing the bios sort this??
You saved my friend's pc, with this video I was able to help him unbrick his motherboard. Thanks a lot!
This video was a great help with the BIOS flash process and the subsequent PC assembly. Thank you very much for the very clear explanation!
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!
Just simply an amazing guide, very clear and precise. Just recently got a 7800X3D and this same motherboard, I will try to flash it before inserting the CPU.
Thanks! Good luck with your new system!
This video saved me so much stress. I had already bought a second board and ram sticks but flashing the bios fixed the issue. THANKS!
I'm glad the video was helpful!
Extremely thorough. Thank you for this tutorial video!
Thanks for the kind words!
Very informative! Was scared about 7000x3d issues, but now know I can update to latest bios w/o cpu installed.
Thanks! I'm glad the video was useful!
Any update on your motherboard and 7800X3D? I am debating on upgrading and wanted to know if you how your system is doing
@@RFJoker System’s great! I run a -30 negative all core PBO as well along w/ 6200 cl30 ram & custom timings (buildzoid easy timings).
@@CarnivoryHODL Okay cool thank you! I pulled the trigger and went for the upgrades! What GPU do you use and what are the average FPS you get in the games you play if you dont mind me asking?
Thank you so much, haven’t build a computer in 7 years and didn’t realize there was a slot specifically for bios updating
I'm glad the video was useful!
Thanks Glenn, This was extremely helpful. Microcenter has been selling alot of these boards with Ryzen 9 7900 processors and DDR5-6000 ram. Out of the box this memory isn't exactly supported on older firmwares. After I built my machine and went to turn it on, I got stuck with the solid orange light indicating an issue with my DRAM. Hopefully updating this firmware to the latest will allow it to post.
did it fix it?
@@Billy_Beane no, unfortunately the CPU pins on the motherboard were bent.
I have same problem, what did undo after u found out?
Very clear instructions coupled to specific graphics - Thank You Sir
Glad it was helpful!
Had an old USB 2 8G flash drive that indicated it was formatted FAT32, deleted all the directories/files off it and the followed the instruction and downloaded the latest BIOS file (1811) for my B650-plus WIFI motherboard. I then powered up the MBreformat the flash drive with 4k allocation size and reload the BIOS file. This time it worked, and the green LED flashed for a few minutes. Thanks for the clear instructions.
You are welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful.
Thank you very much for the superb explanation, Glenn! Currently flashing my motherboard of the same model.
You are welcome. Good luck with your system!
Not flashed a bios in over 25 years when you had to set jumpers and use a floppy so this video flashing a bios without a cpu or memory was a real eye opener, thanks for uploading as its not the board im going to flash but the B760-F which ill double check but I think will be similar.
Any recent ASUS motherboard that has BIOS Flashback will have a similar procedure. Just make sure you download and rename the BIOS file for your exact motherboard model. ASUS has lots of motherboards with similar names.
The Asus EZ Flash went blank on me, you just saved my computer !
Thanks man !
Good to hear! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Thank you so much I thought I had bricked my board, this saved me with bios flashback button, I love it.

This video was a great help to me today. Thank you, Glenn!
You are welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful.
Excellent Video Glenn very helpful and well thought out.
Thank yopu. I appreciate that feedback.
Great job! For those who are worried, you can also check what bios version your motherboard came with on the little barcode sticker next to the cpu socket, it's the four last numbers. You can then check compatibility lists to see if you need to update your firmware before installing cpu.
Thanks for the info!
Are you sure? I just opened mine and there are two barcodes, neither of which have even a relatively similar last 4-digits to the ASUS BIOS & Firmware page.
Thanks! very helpful information.
@@FearTheBeans Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for this Awesome Video about flash the bios! While i'm typing, the bios is getting installed. Thumbs up!
I'm glad the video was useful for you!
Perfect. I'm getting this mobo in a few days and this is exactly what I needed. I have a 7800X3D and am sure I will need to flash the BIOS. Thank you!
Same, i have everything ready except the mobo wich is coming tomorrow, hope it doesnt burn my 7800X3D fingers crossed :D
@@MarioYo1994 let's hope not lol. Haven't heard any new instances of that since the whole fiasco occurred and Asus handled it pretty poorly.

@@GlennBerrySQL Thank you! This might be the most comprehensive step by step I've seen yet.
Hey im goign to get that cpu and motherboard, how is the motherboard i have some questions, is the motherboard good, wifi working and Bluetooth, did the update fix the CPU issues like burning.
Really helped me understand my new board. Thanks alot mate.
You are welcome!
This is my first time building a pc so this is very appreciated. Strangely the motherboard still demands a reboot with a proper boot device.
Well, if the BIOS doesn't see a boot device, it will complain about it even after a BIOS update.
The most helpful video I’ve watched! You’ve just earned a sub!
Thanks!
One of the best tutorials out there.

Excellent guide mate. Thank you
Glad it helped
Just got mine almost completed, turned on and got in to BIOS. Saw it was 1807, followed along with your video. It completed and I went into BIOS and now at 2616. Thanks !
building computer today after work, finished and noticed mines at 1616. Praying this will fix my issues with connecting to the internet.
@phxedcw Good evening, friend, what processor do you have? I just bought the video board, I have the Ryzen 5 8600g processor, can I build the PC and it will give video without updating the bios? Or should I update it first to be able to have video?

I already ordered all my components (different mobo/ram) but found a Microcenter combo (7900x, b650e-f, G-Skill Flarex5 32gb) for $290 less. Some scary reviews for this board, but that's a serious discount! Do you recommend the b650E-F?
That is a pretty decent ASUS ROG motherboard, especially as part of that bundle. It has worked fine for me so far. My only complaint is that it does not use an Intel WiFi and Bluetooth chip.

your amazing im so glad your very easy going and tell us everything we need to know!!!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Great tutorial, only slight amend from my experience is you do not need to have the 8 pin connected only the 24 pin motherboard power cable if you’re completing the update on the board prior to connection any other components.
ASUS (and all of the other motherboard manufacturers) claim that the 12V EPS cable is required for this procedure, even with no CPU installed. I have never tried doing this without having the 12V EPS cable plugged in, so I can't confirm whether it is required or not.

For me to get to work I needed to keep whatever the "rename" name it gave the file . Make sure it was down loaded through chrome web browser ,it worked with the USB 3 but not USB 2 for some reason . also make sure double check u un zip the file . I do not know where I would be without you Vid and the comments in this section it really helped me out thanks .

Thanks so much for this! I just built my first PC and I it seemed like I did a great job on all the hardware but was so thrown off when I couldn't get into BIOS
You are welcome! Good luck with your system!
Oh but one thing. The BIOS renamer did not work for me. At least I think it didn't. It says it renamed to SB650EF.CAP in the prompt but file name just showed SB650EF
@@sleazydzx Do you have file name extensions enabled in Windows Explorer? By default, it is turned off in Windows, so you don't see the file extension
@GlennBerrySQL so you're saying I possibly named it .CAP.CAP? What would that do exactly? Cuz the PC definitely doesn't seem right
@GlennBerrySQL yep just enabled the file name extensions, plugged the flash drive in and sure enough it's .CAP.CAP
In the process of doing this. I have tried 3x so far and it keeps a solid green 😢. I searched a bit on forums and someone said to try doing it with the renamer tool which was renaming it without .CAP at the end. It’s still a CAP file though. It’s working so far 😮
Thanks a lot for the video, helped me :)

What helped me is formatting my USB 3.0 32 GB stick with Rufus formatting software to FAT32 with 8 KB cluster size (by default its 16 KB and it didn't work). It was my only usb stick and I had to improvise
when i am pressing the button the light starts blinking and then its solid green please help
Great video. Can i do this process on a MAC ?I am building my first PC and have only a mac.
Amazing video, very clear and helpful, thanks. I could flash the bios, but unfortunately I still have the same problem. When I try to jump the motherboard with a screwdriver to test my build (the cooler, GPU and CPU are connected and installed but everything is still out of the case) nothing happens... I mean, the logo lights turn on when I connect the MOBO to the PSU, but when I insert a screwdriver in the PowerSwitcher Pins to boot (tried with multiple ones) the fans don't spin and no LED light turns on signaling me an error. Nothing happens!
I have the fans connected, all CPU pins are connected to the PSU, I used the cable that comes with the PSU to plug it to the GPU, the GPU is also connected to the TV using an hdmi (I think this is fine? I want to use it as a monitor).
Am I not seeing something? Perhaps it's too obvious, I'm just a newbie when it comes to hardware and cables... Maybe I screwed the Cooler too hard? But I don't think the mobo wouldn't even start if that were the case.
Worked ! Build time 😁
Great! Have fun with your new system.
You might've just told me what no other resource I came across mentioned, that you need a USB 2.0 flash drive. I'd already partitioned it to MBR Fat32 but I was using a 3.0 stick. Hopefully an older 2.0 USB stick will do it!
USB 2.0 drives seem to work better for this low-level procedure. Good luck with your system!
Thanks for the informative video!
Question - my system will already POST with an older version of the BIOS. For some reason, I don't have the ASUS EZ Flash 3 utility and I can't download it from the ASUS support page.
I'm using the same motherboard (B650E-F). Any idea why this is or what I should do?
The EZ Flash Utility is built into the BIOS setup program. You need to be in Advanced Mode, and then go to the Tools Menu.
Hello, thank you for your video ! i'm going to receive this week this exact motherboard with 7800x3d CPU. Should i just plug it to my supply and dont plug the CPU first to update the bios ? Thank you
With that CPU, you will probably have to update the BIOS before your system will POST. The video shows you how to do it.
Thank you 🙏🏼
You are welcome!
I could really use some help. I upgraded and got a combo from Microcenter.
I got a 7800x3d with a MSI Tomahawk B650 mb and 32 gb pg skill6000.
My back usb ports wouldnt work with my keyboard. A Corsair K100pro. But the front ports worked fine. I updated the bios and chipset drivers. I also has a huge problem with the ram running at 6000mHz in Expo 1 or 2. Even limiting the ram to 5600. Bsod over and over. As a result i bought a ROG Strix B650e-f and i got everything wprking after some headaches other then my keyboard. Its firmwarebosnup to date and worked great with the old intel board i upgraded from. Im at a loss.
Very clear instructions tx. But plz What does POST mean? (as in "Do I need to do this if my system will already POST" at 7,53m ) And how do I know if my Bios needs an update when it's not connected yet?
POST means "Power On Self Test". It is a routine that your computer goes through every time you turn it on to see if the hardware is working properly, before it tries to load the operating system. If your system will POST, then you can flash the BIOS using the built-in BIOS Flash utility (EZ Flash 3). Otherwise, you would have to use the procedure shown in this video to flash the BIOS.
Crystal clear. Tx 4 reply
Hello, I may be a bit late to this guide but I just put together my build. I got everything to work and I tried everything that this video recommended if it failed. I have gone through 3 flash drives all of which were in Fat32 and re-installed the BIOS multiple times. The light on the back flickers for a few seconds then turns solid. I have no idea what could be wrong.
this is my situation too :(
Hello, fantastic video, I've dropped you a sub :)
I'm about to start a new build with a new version of this same motherboard and a new 7700X CPU - Now with the Asus announcement to update to latest BIOS that includes a cap on SOC voltage at 1.3V on 7000 series CPUs (to prevent the overvolting) - this has made me hesitant to just install the new CPU and boot. I'm assuming the usual start up process of BIOS would not have an overvoltage risk anyway, even on older/default BIOS out the box? Or would you suggest going ahead with this approach to flash the latest BIOS version (1807) before installing the CPU to play it safe? Many thanks
Thanks for the sub! Your system should POST with that CPU, even with an older BIOS version. If it will POST, it is easier to use the built-in BIOS update utility inside of the BIOS setup program to flash the BIOS.
If you have not built the system yet (or even if you have), you can still use the procedure shown in this video to flash the BIOS to the latest version. Getting your motherboard on the latest BIOS version is what I would recommend, however you decide to do it.
I don't think the voltage issue is a big risk that you have to immediately take care of, but being on the latest BIOS version is just a good idea.

@@GlennBerrySQL Thank you for the very comprehensive reply and explanation - I've opted to use the built in BIOS update instead, much appreciated on the guidance
well, I recently tried to upgrade MB in video. when I go to uefi and use tool to upgrade bios, normally it will run progress bar and finish. But my pc will instantly reboot without showing progress bar and stick in cpu self led(red one). It stick for around 10 minutes so I forced to shut down it by long pressing power button. I turned on pc again it can be normally activated, while its bios is still the old one. what is the possible problem ?

Thank you for this ideo,just ordered moterboard and ryzen 7 7800x3d and i had no idea about this. My file was renamed but it didn't add the ''.CAP'' in the end but it is a cap file. That normal ?
Yes it is (if you don't have file extensions enabled on Windows Explorer). That is the default behavior in Windows (not having file extensions enabled). That is why you don't see the .cap at the end of the file name.
Hello! I apparently have a problem with the latest BIOS version available (1807). When I updated to the latest one, my processor (Ryzen 9 7950X) stopped displaying an image, which is why it doesn't even allow me to see the BIOS in any way. Any ideas how to repair it? Clean CMOS, battery and contact pins. But nothing, there is no case.
Thank you so much! Is it the same procedure with Asus ROG Strix B650-A Gaming Wifi ?
Yes. Just make sure to download and rename the BIOS file for that exact motherboard model.

Thanks! Because I'm part of a group that gives help for build and they say that this motherboard has a voltage issue which makes me double think.
I have questions
Does it have to be connect 24pins + 8+4 cpu pins connected or i basically build all the pc gpu ram etc out together and still do flashback bios update from usb ?
You have to have the two power cables connected, but nothing else is required to be installed.
Hi thanks for the video, i tried everything u said in the video with all the details but when i press on bios button there is no green light at all. I tried with only 24 pin connected to power supply later on i added all the cables too in case i m missing, it didnt work at all. Mobo should be working, i did paperclip test (the fan turned then stopped tho) i have 650e-e and msi 1000w power supply. Dont know what is wrong. First time i assembled a pc but not working at all. 😢
did u get your to work now?
Thank you.
Pc build noob here, going to be attempting this in a few days. You said 24pin motherboard connector, what was the other connector for? :D
The other connector is called an 8-pin 12V EPS connector.
Hey Glenn, I’m still getting CPU fan errors every so often. I now have my AIO plugged into my CPU_fan header, and temps are normal at 29-33°C.
I know this is off topic but why is it doing this? I usually shut my PC down when I’m not using it, and this only happens every so often when booting up. I’m just going to set the monitor to “ignore” to avoid this but I’m just curious as to why this is happening? I checked and everything is seated properly.
Thanks!
Not an board issue. Some AIO work that way, that the pump header also wants to sit in CPU fan. Also make sure the aio fans are in CPU fan header
Hello, I will be buying this motherboard soon and I was wondering if it's still needed to it in this way with the 7800x3d, or can you just install it like usual?
This seems pretty easy too, is this the easiest way to update your BIOS?
Depending on when your exact motherboard was manufactured, you may or may not need to do this in order to get the system to POST. It just depends on what BIOS version it had when it left the factory in Taiwan. If your system will POST, it is easier to use the built-in EZ Flash 3 feature in the BIOS setup program. Otherwise, you can use this method.
@@GlennBerrySQL alright, thanks for the help!
So I’m about to build my pc with this motherboard do I just download the most recent bios update or is there a certain one I need to download
I would use the latest release. If you are going to flash the BIOS, going to the latest version is a good idea.
Thank you so much - that was a real lifesaver! I would have donated, but I do not have a credit card (living in Europe... :D) If you have PayPal or a bank account to donate to directly, please tell me.
when i am pressing the button the light starts blinking and then its solid green please help can i power off the psu or not
wow a real tutorial without any shouting and dumb jokes
I'm glad it was useful.
How will i know if i have to flash it? I have a ryzen 9 7900x, also how will i install it onto a USB if it doesnt even turn on? will i have to do it through another computer or something and if i do do i just copy that name that you showed in this video for this exact motherboard
Your system should POST with that CPU with the BIOS version that came from the factory on that motherboard. If the system will POST, it is easier to the BIOS flash utility that is built into the BIOS setup program.
If you need to use this method to flash the BIOS, you will need another PC to download the correct BIOS flash file, rename it and copy it to the USB flash drive.
Could you do a slower version for us that aren't so computer literate I found the renamer found the actual newer bios then when you start doing zip files I'm lost I actually think I have it done right just waiting for power supply to arrive then I'll try and download the file I'll let you know if I need more help or if I got it, also do you know a place to buy a decent priced Windows 10 OS thanks for all the help hope it works for me. Maxwell
You can pause and rewind the video if I am "going too fast". Most people complain that I speak too slowly, so this is a first.
Anyway, I have multiple places in the video where I show a PowerPoint slide that covers every step in the procedure, talk about common mistakes, etc.
Thanks for the reply I have both files showing up the main problem is I didn't have a mouse in my laptop and it made it a lot harder to execute commands on the track board thank you so much for this update I love the fact I can do it without a $435.00 chip sitting in the mother I subsc subscribed s so anything else you come up with someone that still believes in GOD and optical drives go fish once again muck thanks from and on old timer who hasn't done a new build in 10 years lots of updates but this my newest build and I'm making it future proof as possible !!!
My pc won’t get past bios now. It was working before hand and I just tried to update the bios. Any tips to get into windows?
Hey Glenn, how likely will it be that I do not experience this issue ? I am planning on getting this motherboard with the ryzen 9 7900x first thing tomorrow morning.. im going to get a usb2.0 to make sure that it works instead of a USB3. But I have the cap file downloaded onto my usb 3 drive .
With a Ryzen 9 7900X, the motherboard should have a new enough BIOS version on the motherboard so you won't have to use this procedure. If the system will POST, it is easier to use the built-in BIOS flash utility in the BIOS setup program. Good luck!
@@GlennBerrySQL all went smooth. didnt have to update in order to receive post. Got windows installed and everything. However, I WAS NOT ABLE TO POST unless I disabled fan monitoring. My AIO pump was detected (plugged into pump header on motherboard) but NO CPU fans, or case fans were detected. All of my fans are plugged into corsair 5000d case fan hub or the corsair controller hub for my AIO water cooler. I did fix this issue by disabling fan monitoring since all of my fans were confirmed to be running. Again, ALL fans are actually up and running so it is more or less a fake error.
BIOS update did not fix issue however. And it is updated to correct version. Do I need at least 1 fan plugged into the motherboard if I really want to fix this not serious yet slightly inconvenient issue ? Since, again, it is not real. From the little I have read online, the only way to fix the issue is to plug in one cpu fan into a fan header on the motherboard. I have not tried this yet because my cable management for my cpu fans is a little sub par and i do not feel like opening my case this week. If you have a solution, Let me know!
As well, good video!
@@Billy_Beane Most motherboards will complain if you don't have the CPU fan (or AIO pump or AIO fan(s)) plugged into the main CPU fan header on the motherboard. I only use the case fan hub for case fans, not CPU or AIO fans or pumps.
@@GlennBerrySQL okay. In the future, I may plug one of my aio fans into the motherboard so I can get rid of that issue.

Edit: sorry I have 2 separate accounts on my pc and my phone
can you flash a bios board with a cpu and gpu and memory installed already? do i need to uninstall.. also i have a question on an asus b650m a ax... if you dont have supported ram will the cpu fail to boot because of a video memory beep (1L 3S)... can a bios update maybe fix that issue and if so... is there a site that tells you what bios updates and what new hardware they support? the ram i have is kingston fury cl36 5600 (8GBx2) expo/xmp. i got it and now i dont trust pcpartpicker anymore for my builds lol. have tried evrything to get this to boot also, it takes along time because it says when you first install the ram it can take up to 15 to 20 min to do memory timings. so everything i have checked has come down to the ram i have even used another gpu... now i dont have any am5 cpus laying around to check just a bunch of am4 parts, so that doesnt help me if it could be the cpu.. but pretty rare to have a DOA cpu. so yeah hope to hear back from you if not ill resopned to tell you if i got it figured out lol i will subscribe very helpful video!!!
The video answers most of your questions. For example, this will work just fine on a fully assembled system. Don't turn it on with the case power button, just make sure it is plugged in, and then follow the directions in the video.
The ASUS site for the motherboard tells you which CPUs are supported with a particular BIOS version.

Hello guys I have a 7900x3D CPU with the same board and my BIOS version is 0821 for now. I had one doubt do I need to update each and every BIOS or just download the newest one and update using that file?
You only need to update to the latest BIOS. You don't have to do each version before that to get there, just the latest version.
Hello Glenn, Yersterday I built my new pc. Ryzen 5 7600x, asus rog strix b650a gamming wifi, x2 ddr5 kingston fury 5200 hz 16gb, 3070 ti. When I finished the DRAM light was on and tried everything in your video, the light in the flash bios flashed for 5 minutes and then stopped, turned off power and then back on to try, still on, what else can I try?
I would try removing and reseating your RAM. You also want to make sure it is in correct two DIMM slots (DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2).
@@GlennBerrySQL Still doing the same, I also noticed that the PC wont boot with both sticks, only with one (either of them in A2 work) A1, B1, B2 not booting, so I'm about to return the MB :C
Thank you!! I’m trying this out, pls give a headpat for chorizo from me :D
Chorizo says thanks!
Just putting an update after going through this. The renamer was renaming it without the .CAP and when I’d manually copy paste the name it would not update the bios and would stay solid green after 3-4 flashes. I ended up leaving it to what the renamer would leave it at which was without the .CAP and it worked flawlessly. 😊 thanks for the video, great instructions
Glad you got it working! Did you have file extensions visible in Windows Explorer?
@@GlennBerrySQL I was trying to see if I did but I was on my partners pc and couldn’t figure out if I did. I ended up downloading it on google chrome.
Thanks again, I was getting a little nervous at first since it wasn’t working but it worked out fine :)
Was this because you dont have file extensions or whatever visible? So you cant see things like .exe either?
@@Jarhead402011 it’s possible yes! I wasn’t able to figure that part out since I was on someone else’s laptop with weird anti virus stuff installed.. in any case I’m not the most tech savvy person, and was able to get this done and finish an entire pc build with this being the only error (resolved fairly quick).
@@RSURRECTED fair enough. I was just curious cause I didn’t wanna run into the same issue lol. Just got this mobo with the microcenter bundle paired with the 7900x and 64GB of ram and I’m gonna be building it next week
When I used the Bios Renamer, it only renamed it to SB650EF, not SB650EF.CAP , should I rename the file or leave it as it is from the bios Renamer, Thanks
You probably don't have file extensions enabled in Windows Explorer. It is not turned on by default in Windows 10 or Windows 11. That is why you don't see the .cap at the end of the file name.
During this process, where do I put the keyboard if I don’t have an open bench type surface that you have? Considering it’ll be connected to the power supply as well.
You don't need a keyboard for this process.
Meant the motherboard, man. Come on lol @@GlennBerrySQL

@@rehanyousaf4684 I can only read what you write. I'm not a mind-reader. Most people put the motherboard on top of the motherboard box, or just a thick piece of cardboard.
You're right. My bad. Thank you. @@GlennBerrySQL
Do others USB ports like the front port not work? The main problem here ist that with the flash utility tool it is not working when starting from it.
If you use this procedure, you have to use the designated BIOS port on the back. If that is not working for you, you probably made some small mistake, such as downloading a BIOS file for a different model motherboard, not renaming the files, etc. The video shows exactly how to do every step.
@@GlennBerrySQL yes thank you. Apperently the other USB ports are not recogized. Even if you use the flashback Utility Tool. That worked well!
@@GEChun Good to hear!
I bought an asus b650e f gaming wifi motherboard. When I format it, I cannot log in via e-mail. It says that you cannot connect to the internet. How can I fix this? I would appreciate it if you could answer me. I have subscribed. Best regards.
In case it may help someone : I couldn't get this to work, the LED was staying solid green after a few second with a USB2.0 flash drive. Switching to a USB 3.0 flash drive solved the problem (do not ask me why)
Already turned on after assemble, would that be a problem or i can still do this
It works the same way on a fully assembled system. Just make sure the machine is not "running" (turned on with case power button) when you do it. It just needs to be plugged in with the power supply switch turned on.
Hi i have a USB 2.0 256gb stick, what is the problem with using a large capacity drive? Should i go ahead and just get a smaller capacity one?
The problem is that larger capacity drives don't always work for this procedure, whether they are USB 2.0 or USB 3.0/3.1. You can try your current drive, and if it doesn't work, no harm no foul. This is because if it fails, it happens when the system first tries to read the BIOS update file from the USB drive.
@@GlennBerrySQL thanks for the help.
