Your video was critical in helping me. Not even the video that asus posted on their channel was able to fix the issue! Thank you so much!

This terrified me! But THANK YOU for the step-by-step...really helped!

Awesome clear video for Noob like me! Followed to a "T". Even went to Micro Center and got the Drive you recommended TU!

This is very informational because a lot of videos o ly talk about updating the dang BIOs via inside the ASUS BIOs itself and never works for me that way! Thank you. 👏 👏

Thanks, I don't usually comment, but this guide help with my scenario, I had a new pc build but didnt realize the bios wasn't up to date with my CPU, and that would make my computer turn on, but show no display. I searched up my ASU Z790-F bios version, and then it worked showing my display finally. Short summary: Follow this guide it works!

Thank God I found your video! I tried to boost the memory speed of my DDR5 RAM and messed things up. Couldn’t even get the keyboard to light up. Fortunately I use 2 PCs so I was able to prep the thumb drive and dl the necessary files on the other computer. Plugged the thumb drive in, pressed the button, the mobo and thumber played nicely and I am up and running. Thank you for the very clear and easy to follow instructions. The part where you mentioned if the light stops flashing after only a short time, to try again or use another thumber was keY! That’s exactly what happened initially. Switched to another drive and all is well. Thanks again and take great care!

You sir earned yourself a sub! Keep up the great work!

Never thought I’d have bios issues for some reason…this is the second time in a year this video has fixed my problems 💀

Thanks you for this video, I did it with 64GB flash driver, so no problem to do this with exFat mine is Z790-E.

Your background is the same as mine on my Laptop I was watching this on. Freaked me out for a second. Have to love some of the Webbs images! (amateur astrophotographer here)

Superb video. Impossible to screw it up. Well done 👍

Thank you so much this saved me. I switched something in bios and my PC was not booting so then I updated it and then it started booting and worked

Mate brilliant, I watched the official asus video then yours because I was still unsure…you nailed it🍻

Thank you so much i found your video extremely helpful to update the bios on my new Asus Rog Formula motherboard.

Extremely helpful video, making a bios update simple. Thank you so much.

Loved the video! The music reminds me of this game called "High on Life" I was just listening to you vibin

Excellent tutorial just updated my Tuf Gaming X-670E PLUS WIFI to version 1813 no hassle no fuss on we go to gen 5

Good Video. Also funny how you used a flashlight to See the indicator LEDs better ;)

thank you, how the hell asus dont have it explain it that way on their website, FAQ etc is beyond me. Dunno why I tought to have a power on while pressing flash BIOS before watching your video

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

Actually better than asus's guides, thanks!

Lets hope this is the reason my 13th gen cpu didn’t work…will try this when i get home , thank you for the amazing video

Thank you! Well done and very helpful.

My z790 does not have any bios drive in the back.

Worked like a charm.

Anyone tried this with a TUF Gamung ASUS Mainboard? I tried to update it with ezflash out of the bios...basically as soon as it startet processing my system shut down... had to remove the battery to get it running again and now i am afraid to even try ^.^

I have d/l the bios for a Z97 PRO (Wi-Fi ac)/USB 3.1 but it comes in a zip with no BIOSrenamer.exe. What now?

I'm using an Asus Z170-A, and there is no bios slot for USB or flash button, I clicked on this video for that exact problem since you put that motherboard in the title lol

Super great man! Thanks so much for this vid

Extremely helpful video many thanks

I'm trying to update my ASUS Strix Z690-E board to allow my i7-13700KF to be compatible. I'm hoping this video helps, thank you! Will subscribe and like.

Very informative!!!!

This feature is only available on specific boards. Not every board has it.

When you say “on a fully built pc don’t power on during the process” do you mean don’t flip the switch on the pcu or clicking the button on the case

Thank you for the guidance

Since a series 7000 motherboard should support the Ryzen CPU without a BIOS update right off the bat, which method would be preferred for the first BIOS update, performing the update via the BIOS utility or the flashback method? Great video, though. Very helpful.

Your great for this bro thank you

Thanks for this video

If I update just on the motherboard with no additions (GPU, RAM, etc) is it necessary to have my monitor plugged in as well? Great video!

Flashing BIOS gives me anxiety. But I will follow this video once I buy my new PC. Thanks!

Great Vid, thank you!

Just to make sure I got this straight......I'm going to do my first build within a week. I get the flashing of the BIOS (without anything on the MB)..Great job explaining that!!!! But I've also been reading that you should update the ME driver and FW first before doing the BIOS update. So to me that means installing Windows 11 first with CPU, Memory, Storage, etc., correct? I really want to update the BIOS first because I want to make sure that the MB is ready for my 14th Gen CPU, Mem, Storage, etc). Can I update the BIOS first then build and install Windows 11 and update the ME drivers and FW after that? In what order do I follow the steps?

This method is ok, and I'd use it if I had to, but if you just use the Bios you get a graphical user interface to do this. Then you don't have to do the weird renaming thing. And you get a progress bar too.

I could not get this to work........ NO re-namer file, so I change in Windows. Copy to flash drive.......Never got it to install.

Just upgraded my sons PC turned it on and Nothing. No Picture Detected and None of the Peripherals turn on. The Fans are on and the AIO is on too, (Motherboard Asus B650 plus wifi, AMD Ryzen 5 7600x, Crucial DDR5 4800mhz RAM) Hopefully this will help.

is it fine if i have to copy it to my usb drive? it just automatically saved it to my downloads so i copied it over to the usb drive

what do you mean by "if the pc is already assembled" "do not power up"? You do have to turn the power on to be able to run the bios Flashback or? Can someone explain the nuance ?

Hey sir, thanks for this! Small question. Im flashing Asus TUF x670e plus without cpu and ram. After flashing is done, do i need to take power off, add cpu, gpu and ram? Connect monitor on gpu and fire up pc? Im missing the step when i need to add component. Sorry for newbie question.

Quick question, what about Intel ME download before bios? I can't really do it before bios update in my case because I'm building brand new pc. I see one guy already asked but not sure what to do exactly? Windows will automatically update it?

My light blinks for a second and light keeps turning on

Brilliant … thank you muchly 🤗

Can you use this method but instead download the drivers related to lan network/ wifi

so if the pc is already assembled then all is same we just don't put any power on it and the rest is same ???

If I’m building a new pc should I build it after doing the bios update or connect to a monitor and power it up?

Did this work for anybody who tried using ai suite 3 and couldn't use the ex installer?

Hi mate after doing the bios update do you restart the computer with just the 24pin connected and check the bios?

If you fuckup the flashback during, since this is internal can you just restart the process and try again unlike a regular BIOS flash? Or will you brick your motherboard?

for me, after the bios flashback (3.5 min), the boot up did not just lead to updated bios. I got message saying hold up we need to flash bios before we can continue. It then rebooted a few times before it went into bios with latest version. Difference might have been my bios also included latest ME. Mine was a new build ... with only the bios flashback as the source for the code. I just find it strange that no one else has mentioned this behaviour.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing, very informative. However, if you have a brand new uninstalled motherboard how do you know the BIOS needs updating? Thanks.

I tried your directions but when the bios updated finished I still wasn’t able to power on my desktop.

What a great feature.

But if my board doesn´t have flashback, I am screwed. Because my new Z790 plus wifi came with old FW and my procesor is 14. generation KF. So Asus made such great TUF board ... but forgot to include this crucial function.

Can you tell a way, if the usb flashdrive really as Fat32 after doing the process whit Rufus?

please answer me.. i just did and flashing ended in 3-4 min on asus b660-A wifi mobo.. is this normal or its too fast to end flashing? should i intall cpu and open pc or need try again? bcs asus on support site says “depending on bios size will completed in 8 minutes”

Does anyone know what to rename the bios file for a Asus Prime B760 D5? I'm working on a mac until i build my PC and cant run the .exe renamer file. Thanks

I tried this and got a 'Memory Code 00' message, It then refused to boot at all, even after clearing the CMOS, reflashing both BIOS chips etc!

What I see at start of video? "can be done ... with no component such as CPU or RAM". "for motherboard you will just need to connect 24-pin ATX power". And after that I see assembled PC, Windows, formating USB-flash... Where "no component such as CPU and RAM"?!

btw you can power on the computer, and navigate the BIOS the new Asus motherboard will give picture.

i dont have bios marked port in back.

Do you have to format it to FAT32? I am currently updating my bios with instructions from the motherboards manual and it never mentioned that. Just thought I'd check videos on my laptop while I wait lol

i have a asus b660-plus-d4 and in the manual it says that i can update the bios via usb but theres no button on the back nor indicator to know which usb to use

This helped a lot, thanks

Hello!(: I'm not sure if mine is updating or not, I only have 64GB a flash drives, is this too big for the system? When I try to run flash it blinks for 2 seconds, then it stops blinking and it's a constant green light. Does that mean it doesn't recognize it?

I have the Z690-A it doesnt have a bios USB or a Bios FLBK button... so what am i suppose to do?

Why i dont see the green light flashing? I dont know if the Bios is Flashing🤷

Hi, im just about to buy a z790-a asus rog motherboard, but dont have a CPU yet. Can I still do this procedure with aboslutely nothing added to the motherboard appart from the 24-pin power cable?

so if it only went like you said flashed seconds and turned to solid green then bios update never worked right?

hi i have mother board asus b350 and i have problem >>>>> the Q-Flash Plus button is not found >>> what i do ??

Hello, I am about to do bios update and some tweaking on my ASUS board and have some quetions : 1. If my system wont boot up due to bad tweaking (RAM settings or other), and i am no longer able to access BIOS, can I possibly just use this method to Flashback bios from USB (same version) ??? Will that work ? I would dodge the CMOS battery /header reset. 2. Lets say I want to go back to previous version of BIOS, if the new one is not stable. Is this still possible with this Flashback USB method ?

I have a broken bios flash button on my asus strix 670e-f. Anyway to active the bios flash without the button?

asus z390 e gaming motherboard doesnt have the bios flashback port and button, Motherboard switches on only if the cpu power isnt connected(with cpu power connected it just cant start the psu or anything). How can I flash BIOS without cpu and bios flashback button?

Thank you for this, perfectly explained! I just put together my new build, it has a i5-1:600k , asus z690-I gaming, ddr 5 and 1tb m. I, is not posting at all, i tried everything except updating the bios, could i use this method to make my 13th gen cpu to run? I don’t have a 12th gen laying around with me to test if that works , thanks again!

hi i have asus rog strix 650E-F now i wait for new ryzen 7900x3D what is better before update bios before inserting a new processor or when instaled new procesor on motherboard and after update bios ?

I have asus tuf b660 plus wifi d4 ....how can I update the bios without using the 12th gen processor? it looks like my mobo doesn't have any bios usb hub and flashback button...

Can you do this if you already have an older bios version installed? I just want to update to a newer bios version.

What are the cases when a USB 3.0 will not work for this? I thought as long as you put the USB 3.0 in a 2.0 slot its fine.

What if your mb doesn't have a bios flash button? (Asus z170m plus)

Thanks ☺️

Do I do this with the system Off or can I update it with being idle in desktop

hello. Can you explane me how to make bios update like this steps, on ASUS TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI , on this MB do not have extra USB port and button for bios.

is this the same forn ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi Motherboard

So I recently changed my settings from Normal to Power Saving in the bios (ROG B660-A) because the 13700k cpu was running way too hot 95-100 Celsius in cinebench r23. It did change the temperature(70-75 C), but it lowered too much the performance and the rgb lights are not turning on anymore. Any changes I make to the bios, like restoring back to default, or change Normal to Power Saving and vice versa doesn’t help to bring it back to Normal. I tried flash ez tool for the newest bios version(no results), now tried this method, flash backed to a previous version and yet no results. Still works like in power saving mode. I would leave it like that, because the performance I get is enough for me, but without rgb is kinda weird…

The only format option my usb gets is ExFat... is that okay? or does it have to be Fat32?

My motherboard is tuf gaming b550M-E and the motherboard is not flashing it flash for 3 times then it has the ligh of the bios update always on and not turnig off

im stuck on the part where you double click the rename file and click any key to rename it, but when i click any key, the file is not renamed. Am i doing something wrong?

if you want to manually flash bios without flash back you shouldnt use renamer right?

o got a question, hopefully you can help me. at 2:45 right on bottom says please download intel ME update tool? what does that mean and how? thank you

Is this method going to work on Rog strix z790 hero??? Please let me know. I am so confused.
