There might be various reasons to update your BIOS. Brands will often tell you NOT to do it unless you really have to. But recent AMD boards need to be fixed to ensure stability with AMD EXPO and SOC voltage.
Here I'm showing you how to check your firmware version:
Use CPU-Z www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z...
Or your BIOS
Then download the relevant bios update from the Gigabyte website.
Mash DEL or F2 to get into the BIOS when you've turned your PC on and then press F8 or look for the Q flash settings. From there, you can then install your BIOS.
Note it will take ages to do, so it's worth being patient. Very patient.
These are the bios updates for this specific motherboard - www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/...

Hello, thanks again for this informative video. If I can, let me ask you something, does this motherboard (B650I AORUS ULTRA) have WiFi and LAN Drivers pre-installed so that I can download the new motherboard update from the same computer or do I need to have them on a USB Drive before building the new PC?

@NikoBee90 8 ай бұрын

Comes with none of those drivers. Bit of a pain but yeah, be prepared to get those setup with another device After which it would help getting driver easy if you're lazy like me and it'll grab everything else from there

So this is just a question for bios. Does the latest file have all the previous file features when I do a bio update? This will be the first time I’ve ever done a bio update on a motherboard. I’m just asking because I don’t want to keep updating previous files, updates onto the motherboard. And I’m asking this question because I am an autistic individual. So I want to have all the relevant information. Question and fully available. I hope this is fully explained?

I learned the hard way that you basically HAVE to use a USB-2.0 thumb drive of less than 32 GB or it simply won't work. For some reason I had to dig thoroughly through many resources till I discovered this. It's actually a massive detail that get's left out a lot. I also have a Gigabyte motherboard, it's the B650 Aorus Elite AX (rev 1.1). I tried using a USB-C drive since my only other computer is a Mac and I kept getting the infamous "BIOS ID check error" when I tried flashing. I even bought an adapter for the USB-C dive and had partitioned a 16 GB (FAT32) file system - no matter what I did, it refused to flash. I did double check whether it was the right bios too, trust.

The motherboard and my ram ( last item needed to build my new computer ) have finally arrived at the nearest parcel center; maybe I will receive them in a few hours:D I started to invest more than a year ago with a box, usb key, fan and power supply; and unfortunately ram ( DDR4 ) on sale with an SSD nvme, soon after but having not yet chosen the processor it was a bad idea. a few months ago the processor ( 7950x :D ) I’m so excited xd

I can't get it to run at all. Just bought 7950x3D and I'm on F8 bios version. I can get into the BIOS - but if I insert the USB into the BIOS USB it doesn't recognize an inserted drive. When I insert it in the red 3.2 USBs it shows me the EFI drive with the update file F21. I start QFlash and it works fine until I get to the point it needs to reboot because of "Secureflash". And then nothing happens. It's constantly captured in the BIOS boot cycle. I also can't install windows from my other USB drive. It worked flawlessly 6 weeks ago on an MSI board. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm really disappointed. Such an expensive motherboard and I've seen quite a few people having trouble with it.

Edit: I even tried QFlash plus. Doesn't do crap either....brand new motherboard - got it delivered today. Pressed the reset button on the MB itself. Changed te BIOs settings to default. Using a 8gb Fat32 stick. I'm really at the end of my wisdom - don't what else to do. 😩
