Saved my pc! Had the wrong bios for my CPU and had no way of knowing default settings (had friend set it up for me) and this simple tutorial fixed all of my problems, went from crashing every 30 minutes when gaming to not once in a whole 5 hour session, really happy :>

I found you via Google as I'm trying to update my cpu from and i5 to i7. You're very concise, informative and knowledgeable. Thanks for the help

when he made the lightning storm sounds that scared the living s***t out of me

this didn’t solve my particular issue but i do appreciate you teaching me how to update my bios! it helped me narrow the issue and has gotten me closer to the solution. :)

Haven't tried anything yet, but this tutorial still holds up 2 years later. Thanks for the great tutorial!

I love the idea that you explained carefully why and why not update the BIOS coz I'm slightly new to this kinds of things. Thank you.

2 years late to the party BUT I can safely say that I have updated my BIOS thanks to this video! Cheers 🍻

I am currently studying Networking that's why I came across your video and I am so glad. This is just the greatest tutorial I ever watch, thank you.

built a new pc from nothing and needed to know where to start when it comes to getting drivers and bios updates sorted on a 100% virgin system build... dont even have windows on it yet lol, good video thank you

Cheers for the help mate, was in need up getting my motherboard updated for my Ryzen 5. Found you for exactly this need

I just built my pc, my friend who also built his pc just before kept telling me to be sure to update my bios. Everything I have is working completely fine and I have no complaints. Taking your advice into account have decided to let it be for now, because I don't absolutely need an update. Edit: I found this video by looking up how to update my bios.

I came here because I need update my bios on a Asus Prime A320M-K to make tests with Athlon 3000G, I was using a Athlon 200GE and wanted to compare them on tests, your video was very helpful, thanks for the video! ^^

Thank you for the solid info on bios and how the update process goes. I am new to building pc's and your explanation was flawless, probably gonna watch the rest of your stuff too

2 Years and still helping people out. Thanks so much.

I came here looking for an in depth guide because I’m upgrading my cpu and had questions and lucky got them answered

DUDE YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!! Never knew upgrading to a RTX 3080 would be this complicated. 😭😭😭😭

Updatin my BIOS was the most scary thing I ever did in my life

Thanks a million man. let me tell this first, I'm Iranian so, "sorry for my bad english." I bought a sound card and PC won't post when I installed it. the pcie card was OK and I test it on other computers. the pcie slots also were OK, I was so confused. then after 2 days of thinking and watching youtube videos , I realize that maybe this card have some incompatibility to my motherboard. then I went to my motherboard webpage for bios . say to my self " why should i do bios update where as the new beta bios has nothing to do with my problem". last night I saw your video on youtube that mentioned a tip about compatibility of new hardware's on older motherboard's. that moment I remember the description of new beta bios of my motherboard that says "improve new high end graphics card compatibility", then say to myself "hey, GPU card is pcie, and you have a pcie incompatibility problem for pcie x1 sound card". earlier this morning I updated the bios and install my sound card and PC booted to windows and everything is OK now. Your video was very very helpful to me. I watched all 13:40 min. full of useful tips for me. I update bios for the first time. Thanks.

I just search in youtube how to update bios and click your vid. I want to know how to update bios before I upgrade my processor. It's a big help. Thanks a lot!

tysm man, i’m kinda new to pc’s i know a lot but i didn’t even know what BIOS UEFI even were, u went over everything helped me out a lot, thank u man

Great video! The only thing I think you missed is that the USB drive may need to be formatted correctly to FAT32, and that some motherboards may want you to use a certain USB hub. That might just be for BIOS flashback, though.

By far the most nerve racking thing in my lifetime thank you sir for helping me

Hey. Just wanted to say these videos are a godsend. I appreciate this a lot!

extremely helpful video i also passed out waiting for the update to finish

as somebody who is still new to the pc realm and still learning what i need to do for upgrades and keep up, your channel has been a massive help. thank you!

Its my first pc build,played xbox most of my life and i finally switched over,i got too say 60fps feels good.

I am upgrading to new ryzen 7 5800x3d this was very helpful thank you. You made it very easy to understand the process involved with preparing my PC for the new processor.

Excellent vid man, upgrading my ryzen 7 to ryzen 9 5000 series and knew it wasn’t as easy as just popping the new one in, searched how to successfully upgrade bios for cpu upgrade and here I am... trying this week wish me luck!!

Bro thank you so much I was starting to lose hope but thank god I saw your video thanks man just subscribed

Thanks for your help. I just updated my Aorus B450 bios from f5 to f64e. Now I can use my new AMD 7 and my new RTX 3060. A wonderful upgrade and your walk through really helped me do it.

Hey man. Came here because my new 2nd hand mobo bios screen looks like its from the 80's and thought a bios update would modernise it aha. I'm now educated. Cheers man

Bought my PC about 3 years ago, Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 MOBO and was curious if I needed to update my BIOS to accomodate future RTX graphics cards and high meg RAM. That's what brought me to this video. Thank you for the information.

Man, you're very insightful and not speaking jibberish since I relatively new to trying to learn all this. Subbed with Notifications on.

You just earned your self a new subscriber

I came because I am finally building a pc after playing console for almost 20 years. I had bits of knowledge of pc components and uses but I knew nothing of the systems or afther the building part. Like BIOS or UEFI or CMOS. I am waiting for the B550 boards to launch before building my pc. As to my knowledge they are the budget friendly option of future proofing my rig compared to the X 500 series boards. Ive learned so much of about pc building in the past few days and I thank you for the knowledge!

I know this is an old video, but I found it researching issues with a motherboard I have purchased for a budget build. Long story short the BIOS Firmware that comes preinstalled often times will not work as is so, it needs a better version installed. I used to build components on a regular basis, but it has been at least 10 years since I have built anything so I just wanted to make sure I could still do it. Your video came up after a review of the motherboard I purchased, so big brother is still listening ha ha ha. Thanks for the video it has been most helpful.

Even though this video is 4yrs old and even tho i have a different MOBO - MSI, I appreciate this how-to. Seems legit and i wanted to make sure that i found the most clear, thoroughly explanation of 'how to' get my Bio update as quick and Easy way Before getting started. Thank you for this and i plan to use your clip as my guidelines. Wish me luck(just waiting to receive my new parts)Thanks again 👍

Just purchased a ryzen 3 3100 and needed to update my bios this really helps!

Just got my parts, and I have experienced assembling pc but that that was about 5 years ago in my school. Now I have my own. Thanks this was helpful.

thank you, just put together pc and wanted to make sure bois was up to date , this was very helpfull and easy to understand.

Your source is absolutely right, I've found your tutorial by searching how to update my bios. And the reason is: I've build my new gaming PC using ASRock b650m pg riptide and pairing it with a Ryzen 5 7600x. Turns out some AMD's CPU's have problem with fTPM module. So around May, 2022, AMD has sent patch to motherboard manufacturers to issue bios version which rectify this error, but as it turns out that ASRock didn't do this I had horrible stuttering trouble. New version of bios is coming out and I'm educating myself 😊 There is one more solution, to buy TPM module myself, there is a port to install it directly to motherboard, there is some process to follow but is also a viable workaround to my problem. Anyway thank you for the video! 🤗

Sorry I forgot:excellent tutorials you do. But may you can mention that it seems to be better to update the BIOS first, before installing the new CPU.

Thank you, didn’t need to do anything just wanted to be a bigger tech nerd :)

Just changed from an i7 7700k to a new i9 10850k and this was super helpful thanks mate!

First video I seen was on my cpu and then this one helped me out as well thanks for this videos

Thanks for the solid and fleshed out info and succint but not rushed step by step walkthrough. Earned yourself a sub 👍 I bought a Corsair Vengeance 6182 pre-built rig last year during the lockdown ( 3700x + 5700xt + X570 inside a Corsair 280x case) and I'm upgrading to a 5950x w/ a larger AIO this weekend and a RTX 3090 (whenever I can get my hands on one down the line lol)

found the video using google, I will need at some stage to change my computer cpu as it is not windows 11 compatible. I just doing the home work learning the different things I need to do to have successful upgrade of the computer. thanks for the clear instructions in the video.

You can also Find version of Bios using Windows without rebooting 1. Press Windows Key with R simutaneously 2. Now type msinfo32 and click on OK 3. Here you will find BIOS version on the right side of the scree and bunch of other information.

very simple, direct to the point. GREAT VIDEO !

Really helpful! Thanks a bunch! I searched for this cuz im building a my first PC.

This was very helpful and you helped me update my motherboard so I can use 4.6ghz instead of 4.3ghz. I searched on KZfaq how to update the bios and found your video, 😊

I'm thinking of upgrading to a new cpu as my cpu rn is really bad so I'm searching for all info for it thank you so much!

Thank you man very much. For once i dont have to aimlessly look through utube figuring out how to do something. This was the most helpful video ive seen to date

Thankyou without this I would be in tears

I came to this video because I was looking for a reason why my additional 16 GB of RAM are not recognized and why I don't see my installed to motherboard additional 4TB of HDD. Bing recommended your video and I had fun watching the full thing.

I'm planning on buying one of the new Ryzen CPUS and some beef RAM to support my gaming and art. Installing parts? No biggie. Updating the motherboard bios? I'm terrified. Thank you for this video, it's the most helpful one I've found on this topic by far!!

To answer your question at the end of the video - I'm curios to know if I need to update my BIOS. I've already upgraded my RAM and graphics card no problem, everything was recognized instantly. But, you know, I'm super nervous about that and now I'm looking forward into upgrading my CPU and storage. So, here I am.

Thank for the great information. I searched how to update bios because I need to update mine since I'm going to a i7-8700k on my z370-e

Thanks for your help; I am looking to build a PC and my cpu and motherboard required a possibility of updating of the bios.

about ready to pull the trigger on building my first PC. AMD 5000 series will probably need a bios update. just educating myself.

I have a Ryzen 9 5900X and it won't run on my Asus Tuf Gaming 570 Plus (Wifi). I ripped my Ryzen 5 5600G from the computer I'm retiring (because it's a pre-build and I wanted to build my own PC and this is the first PC I built) just so I can setup the computer the way I want to set it up. I'm migrating and organizing everything as we speak. I'll update you in the next upcoming weeks. Thank you for this video, I appreciate it. Now to go update my BIOS and hopefully nothing go wrong (however rolling black outs isn't a problem I have so I should be fine).

I finally did my bios update for asus b350f for the first time!! I’m changing my processor from a ryzen 5 1600 to a 3600. The longest 5 mins of my life but I took the risk and did it!! Can wait for my new cpu

I'm upgrading my cpu and graphics, this video really helps. Keep on making content.

I looked to do a bios update because I have bought 2 P7P55D LE motherboards that are new and I'm going build 2 computers from them using some used and some new parts..As I have never even built a computer before I am taking on a big job lol.. Hopefully thx to the helpful youtube videos I have been able to find my way around some older computers.

Excellent video. Updated Bios so my B450 MSI gaming plus would be compatible for the 5800x3d chip. Didn't know the steps needed to complete this. Thanks for your help. I liked and subscribed.

Lux! Bingo! Grate video! Fantastig edition and coverd topic!!

Many thanks for the video, just purchased Ryzen 5 3600x for my setup and was having real probs getting it working, windows wouldn't boot, black screen etc, thought I had latest bios but guess not and you've help me alot..😉

Thank you I am going to follow this step by step. I've done some of just to see the steps. Okay, thank you again for a simple way for beginners.

I am bored so went to Dell website to see if my computer needs drivers update and the only thing in the menu is Bios update, since my computer is working fine I went to youtube, landed here and decided to leave it alone. Thank you

Very well explained THANK YOU!

Here's an odd reason why I had to update my BIOS: Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War wasn't running on my PC all of a sudden after working since launch, it was literally resetting my PC when I tried to launch it. I tried all troubleshooting I possibly could until I found this video, installed the latest BIOS, and like magic it now works again. So apparently software compatibility issues can require a BIOS update too!

The reason I found this YT video was my ASUS M/board had the MS health check which told me that I did not have a TPM module. So now I've bought one - (SPI-TPM), I researched and found that the M/board BIOS may not support the SPI-TPM. So before I fitted it, That's the reason I watched your video, and I took onboard all your "cautions" re updating a M/board. The old saying "that, - if it's not broke don't fix it" applies sometimes but not in my case, without the TPM I can't update to Windows 11.

Looking to upgrade my cpu for my birthday getting the Ryzen 5 3600 and this really saved me.

I find this video in good I typed how to update BIOS. Thank you very helpful definitely i`m subscribing to your channel.

On point my man! Nice work! Just keep it up.

This is a great video good job on explaining it!! :)

Great video, and his guy reminds me of Moo Snuckel... am I the only one thinking this??

Thank you made my motherboard easy to uodate by just following awesome

Found this due to being a first time pc build coming up and have been watching several videos and wanted to know how/if I needed to update the bios. Up until about 2 weeks ago I didn’t even know what bios was or what went into a computer other then a processor and power and ram. I am not even putting a gpu in due to budget but will later on. And this is for one of my kids so I don’t want to do something that might delay the use and waste money. For what my kid will doing is basic school and Minecraft. But I wanted to learn how to build a computer this why I didn’t want to just buy a pre-built.

Thanks, I plan to build a PC in a couple of weeks and plan to use a 13th gen intel cpu and will likely need to update the motherboards BIOS to make it compatible if it isn't already.

Updating bios for Ryzen 5000 this was the 100th video that I watched but it was very helpful, 🙏

Super video bro. 👌

I had a blue screen error i hope bios update would fix this error. Great video sir :)

Because I can’t put in my 3900x also I have the same motherboard so this makes things so easy

this is an old video wow ... i just bought this cheap Colorful b450m motherboard brand new and surprise-surprise, didn't support my ryzen 5 4650G (a weird choice but i got it super cheap & brand new), and yeah, found the website and everthing, and now just trying to update it, thank you for the video~

BRO. very informative video.

I'm not in need of a BIOS update since my PC seems fine, but DELL periodically sends me emails requesting for me to go to the link they provide at their site and perform the update. They make it seem as if it's as easy as a typical Windows update and say I can keep working on my PC while the update is occurring! I remember the days when it was just as you described in your video, so though I'm tempted, it's not worth the aggravation of bricking my PC when it's not even clear to me what the benefit might be.

That's how you do a guide. Thank you!

Great job explaining the risks involved with doing this. I sure hope my power doesn't randomly go out!

I found your video, because I wanna do my first pc build with the AMD Ryzen 3 2200ge. And I am doing all my homework, before actually commencing the build, which involves a BIOS update just in case lol.

Thanks for the vid!

Very structured video I like that

Amazingly you placed the pen drive in right next to the slot with the word BIOS! you know the white slot that is dedicated to BIOS updates

Very well presented. Danger areas emphasised. Comment about choosing USB Slot at the back of computer very relevant. And you don’t sound like a cowboy!

The video was brilliant and really informative! Thank you, and I will now begin to update (I hope I don't brick my mobo)!

Found your video by searching similar to the title, I want to update my bios on my mb to support Gen 3 ryzen

I'm here because i bought new ram a 4 stick 32gb kit of Corsair RGB Vengeance PRO and I'm worries that my x470 MSI gaming pro carbon might not recognize them and what to do if it doesn't and that's to update the bios and I haven't updated this baby since i bought it back in October of 2018. so thanks to you now i will know the first this to do if it doesn't work recognize my ram

Now i can update my bios. You made it look easy and simple 👏
