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.

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.
I want to give you a huge thank you. Like truly huge. I've been having problems with my PC for over three weeks. Games kept crashing, it wouldn't boot, so I had wipe the MB. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I thought it was my PSU, because it's about 9 years old, but I'm using much newer hardware. Installed that, the problems persisted. I found out it was because I had been setting my RAM frequencies to to 6400hz, which is what they say on the modules. I let my motherboard set them automatically, and it kicked them down to 4800z. This did not make me happy. I downloaded a program for my MB not too long ago, and my BIOS was massively out-of-date. I downloaded the new one, did what it said in the manual to update my bios, and I was met which countless black screen for way too long, for way too many times. I followed the very plain and well described tutorial that you've made, and BAM! Update took about 5 minutes. Since then I've been able to put my RAM back up to 6400hz, and zero problems. So yeah, thank you so, so very much for this. You've fixed several weeks of unbearable PC performance in 6 minutes and 37 seconds. I cannot thank you enough. Liking and subscribing which I have done, is certainly not enough. Thank you.
@@KLEEBZTECH and thank you. Yes, they really, really can. As I said, I've been trying to fix my PC for over three weeks. I see this, and everything is working. Thank you for the help that you put out there for people like me.
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?
If something goes wrong in theory you should be able to do the flashback method and do it again. I have only needed to do it once so really can't say exactly how reliable that is.
This is really different from how I used to update the BIOS on my ASUS Z170-A . With that one you could even do it from within Windows IIRC. So you can't even do it from within the BIOS anymore? I mean this does look pretty foolproof, but it's awkward getting to the back of my case (it's on the floor under my desk). Assuming you have to do a full shutdown first. My current board is a Prime X670E Pro WiFi.
If you can access the BIOS then you can update this way: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html but if new build and unsupported CPU there is no way and would need to use a supported CPU to do it.
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.
Mmmmm I know enough to pretend like I know, but that won’t get me very far here. If you wouldn’t mind letting me know how I can get ahold of you to so you can give me a couple of pointers, I would be happy to sub to your channel with every account in the house. I count about 10 😅 or point me in the right direction would be much obliged.
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.
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?
had been preparing for this for about a week, bought a USB drive, installed the necessary BIOS version on it, and prepared everything. But when the motherboard arrived, I decided to check its BIOS version (written near the RAM slots on the mb) and realized it already had the newest BIOS version for this model, so I guess I don’t need to update it after all :D
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?
@@KLEEBZTECH Hey man hope you’ll reply Quick I have the Asus ROG strix Z690-A Gaming wifi D4 as I put the USB device on my pc on the bios marked on it. I tried to follow my manual motherboard as it says “the utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file, When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 3 automatically” And I don’t see any changes in my bios screen And then I tried to follow your method.. as I put the usb with the BIOS file I press the little button with a stick and I waited for almost 2 minutes and it didn’t flash and my BIOS screen doesn’t have any changes again. What is the solution of this man? please help btw you have new sub❤
Just to add an additional piece of information to the puzzle, the USB drive you use needs to be formatted in MBR format. GPT will not work and will produce 3 blinks of the light and then a steady light with no progress.
Hello, My Mobo ( B450 Mortar Max ) has Bios Flash back. My pc can boot up but it suddenly went off becuase of false cpu temp that it reaches 90-127 c that send to mobo. Msi already released the bios update that will correct the cpu temp and fan speed but in beta version. Can i use that method that you did in updating my bios? Thankyou
@@tayfuraltinay1894 hello, im already done flashing new bios update to my mobo and it works, gone the prompt overheating issue before booting up. Thanks again.
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
You only power on the power supply. Do not press power button on the computer to start it up. You need the power supply turned on in order for the motherboard to have power to update.
Does ASUS TUF GAMING B760-PLUS WIFI DDR4 support this feature? Also do I need to flash the bios to install 14th gen CPU on this motherboard or should the stock BIOS be enough to run this CPU?
From what I can tell it does not support BIOS flashback and I do not see a button so I would guess not. Looking at the support page it seems you would need an update from a few months ago to run 14th gen and I doubt a new board would have the latest BIOS versions.
I have little experience with Asus Crash free BIOS but my understanding is it only works when it detects a corrupt BIOS and you still need compatible components.
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”
I just went back and checked the original video in real time and mine took about 3 or 4 minutes for the last two updates I did. I actually flashed it to an older version since it was already updated so I could make the video so I did it twice. Both times were around 4 minutes.
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
It is possible that they have changed things when it comes to that. But usually they don't change things when it comes to the BIOS very quickly. I would usually still do it myself with FAT32 but if you do it a different way and it works would love to know.
@@KLEEBZTECH I tried, but nothing happened. I let it sit for like 20 minutes after the light on the back stopped flashing, and when I turned on my pc it was normal with no update. .-.
Hey i am having problems with the same mobo and my 14700k cuz the bios doesnt update it stops after 3min flashin and get error code 00 what did you do exsctly?
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?
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 ?
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 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...
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 haven't tested on Asus boards if you can reflash the same version. I know with others when I have tried that it doesn't update because it detects the same version. And personally going the other route with the CMOS battery is probably the safer route. As for flashing previous versions you would have to check the BIOS updates and see if any notes about that. I know I have seen some that say you can't flash a previous version after a specific update.
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.
Without BIOS flashback feature you will need to update with this method which does require that the computer can boot into the BIOS: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html
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?
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 ?
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…
My asus rog won't work with 13500. I did BIOS flashback latest update which went as expected but then I'm getting fans and lights working but nothing in monitor (connected to motherboard since I don't use graphics card)
If you are in a room with bright lights it may be hard to see the light flashing. Turn off some lights just to see if it is. Does your USB have a light? That you can check as well to know if it is accessing the USB to do the update.
I just bought new Asus TUF Gaming B450M-PRO-II for my ryzen 5600g..it need a bios update for this processor.. as u saw in video it just need to connect 16 pin power cable to mobo.. do we also need to connect cpu cable as well or not or just 16 pin motherboard cable ..pls clear it
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
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.
Well that depends on who you ask. Some will say the flashback method should only be when you can't do it the other way. They feel at seeing more feedback in the Bios utility is better. But my feeling is they are really the same. And from everything that I've read from the manufacturers they mention using the flashback as being the easier way. Really it's a matter of choice. I usually would do it on a new-build with the flashback and just get it out of the way. Of course some say you shouldn't update the BIOS unless you have issues but I always do it on a new-build.
That most likely means you are using a drive larger than 32GB. There are ways of formatting a drive larger than 32GB as Fat32 but I do not cover those. It does need to be Fat32.
Understand. It used to for me as well. But honestly it is rare I run into issues these days and when I do it is usually a defective motherboard that gets replaced. Nothing you can do about that.
How do I know what to rename my BIOS file to? I'm trying to flash my ASUS M32AD Desktop after a big partitioning mistake I made a while ago. And on top of that, I don't have BIOS Flasback or anything like it. Just USB ports on the back and front. Would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction at least!
If you don't have the BIOS flashback feature then you would have to do it within the BIOS itself. You would not rename the file if doing it that way. We do have a video for that method: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html
The BIOS should be able to be accessed even without a hard drive since it is imbedded on the motherboard and has nothing to do with the hard drive. Have you tried mashing the DEL key while booting?
@KLEEBZTECH Yes, I've done all of that with multiple USB ports etc. When I was partitioning the harddrive I was using Linux/MS dualboot and had access to the UEFI Boot Partition. I ended up somehow wiping that. I thought there might be a way to flash the mobo without access to the monitor or keyboard/mouse. Thank you for your fast replies btw!
So im doing this litle project and have some parts ordered. What should i do when they arive, should i first assemble the pc and see if the cpu needs the bios update or straight on just instal the newest bios update? The cpu and the motherboard is nothing special, its the (Ryzen 5 5500 and Asus prime b450m-k II).
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?
ASUS saying you have to update ME firmware before BIOS update. how..? if I have no OS yet? lol. so confusing.. (starting my ProArt z790 build). can anyone explain?
There should be a download link on the support page somewhere. But that's only necessary if you already have an OS installed. If you don't then just go ahead and install and install it after just like all your drivers
I have a Asus rog STRIX z690 a-gaming motherboard and the Intel i7 13700k and I can’t get this to work. It flashes slow for a short time and then the light turns solid green and nothing happens. My pc is still not booting. Can someone help me ?
From the sounds of it that may be the issue. I know when I run into issues with the USB it will flash for a few seconds and then stop. That is often a sign that the process is working but that it doesn't find the file for whatever reason. And that is usually fixed by just trying a different USB.
@@alec0433 I bought the same mother and the same microprocessor. But I want to know one thing before I update the BIOS. Did you only download the latest update to date or did you also download the two before the last one? The one that says Intel ME and another one... thanks!
It is pretty random when it comes to this stuff. It's not the same as when you're running the operating system. I'm not sure entirely why. Sometimes it's just a matter of formatting again I have seen solve any issues.
I have a code 53 on my Motherboard z690 hero after i update last version of bios. i tried to replace dram, Clean cmos and remove/install battery but still im having the code 53.

Is this A system that you have been using and ran into problems or is it a new system? I believe code 53 means a memory issue. Is the memory you're using confirmed to be compatible according to their support page?

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.
Yes after updating the BIOS turn off the power switch and unplug and assemble the computer
I want to give you a huge thank you. Like truly huge.
I've been having problems with my PC for over three weeks. Games kept crashing, it wouldn't boot, so I had wipe the MB. I couldn't figure out what the problem was.
I thought it was my PSU, because it's about 9 years old, but I'm using much newer hardware. Installed that, the problems persisted. I found out it was because I had been setting my RAM frequencies to to 6400hz, which is what they say on the modules. I let my motherboard set them automatically, and it kicked them down to 4800z. This did not make me happy.
I downloaded a program for my MB not too long ago, and my BIOS was massively out-of-date. I downloaded the new one, did what it said in the manual to update my bios, and I was met which countless black screen for way too long, for way too many times.
I followed the very plain and well described tutorial that you've made, and BAM! Update took about 5 minutes. Since then I've been able to put my RAM back up to 6400hz, and zero problems.
So yeah, thank you so, so very much for this. You've fixed several weeks of unbearable PC performance in 6 minutes and 37 seconds.
I cannot thank you enough. Liking and subscribing which I have done, is certainly not enough. Thank you.
Thank you and you are very welcome. Glad you got things working because when computers are acting up it can really suck.
@@KLEEBZTECH and thank you. Yes, they really, really can. As I said, I've been trying to fix my PC for over three weeks. I see this, and everything is working.
Thank you for the help that you put out there for people like me.
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?
If something goes wrong in theory you should be able to do the flashback method and do it again. I have only needed to do it once so really can't say exactly how reliable that is.
This is really different from how I used to update the BIOS on my ASUS Z170-A . With that one you could even do it from within Windows IIRC. So you can't even do it from within the BIOS anymore? I mean this does look pretty foolproof, but it's awkward getting to the back of my case (it's on the floor under my desk). Assuming you have to do a full shutdown first. My current board is a Prime X670E Pro WiFi.
@@PapagenoX09 you can also do in the bios. I do have a video on that as well.
I have the Z690-A it doesnt have a bios USB or a Bios FLBK button... so what am i suppose to do?
If you can access the BIOS then you can update this way: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html but if new build and unsupported CPU there is no way and would need to use a supported CPU to do it.
@@KLEEBZTECH I can't access the BIOs that's the whole problem.
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.
Yeah I don't understand why they don't put this feature on more of those boards.
Thank you so much. I was very worried about flashing BIOS with new cpu
Thank you so much i found your video extremely helpful to update the bios on my new Asus Rog Formula motherboard.
You're welcome!
Hi mate after doing the bios update do you restart the computer with just the 24pin connected and check the bios?
I have a broken bios flash button on my asus strix 670e-f. Anyway to active the bios flash without the button?
Well... Not that I can think of unless you know a little about electronics. But not something I would try to explain in comments.
Mmmmm I know enough to pretend like I know, but that won’t get me very far here. If you wouldn’t mind letting me know how I can get ahold of you to so you can give me a couple of pointers, I would be happy to sub to your channel with every account in the house. I count about 10 😅 or point me in the right direction would be much obliged.
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.
On rare occasions there can be things that are updated on first boot like that. It is not common.
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?
If it supports bios flashback.
thanks, yep it does@@KLEEBZTECH
had been preparing for this for about a week, bought a USB drive, installed the necessary BIOS version on it, and prepared everything. But when the motherboard arrived, I decided to check its BIOS version (written near the RAM slots on the mb) and realized it already had the newest BIOS version for this model, so I guess I don’t need to update it after all :D
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?
I believe they say to do it before the bios update because if you already have Windows installed you should. Otherwise you should be good.
@@KLEEBZTECH Hey man hope you’ll reply Quick
I have the Asus ROG strix Z690-A Gaming wifi D4 as I put the USB device on my pc on the bios marked on it. I tried to follow my manual motherboard as it says “the utility automatically checks the devices for the BIOS file, When found, the utility reads the BIOS file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 3 automatically”
And
I don’t see any changes in my bios screen
And then I tried to follow your method..
as I put the usb with the BIOS file I press the little button with a stick and I waited for almost 2 minutes and it didn’t flash and my BIOS screen doesn’t have any changes again.
What is the solution of this man? please help btw you have new sub❤
@shadowkage6403 same situation... wild it is not more streamline
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.
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!
Superb video. Impossible to screw it up. Well done 👍
I tried your directions but when the bios updated finished I still wasn’t able to power on my desktop.
Sounds like you could have other issues or it did not work.
@@KLEEBZTECH I think my cpu is not working
Can you tell a way, if the usb flashdrive really as Fat32 after doing the process whit Rufus?
Just to add an additional piece of information to the puzzle, the USB drive you use needs to be formatted in MBR format. GPT will not work and will produce 3 blinks of the light and then a steady light with no progress.
Yeah this happened to me, it blinked 3 times then it stopped blinking
It just stayed on, should I unplug and restart or what should I do

Hello, My Mobo ( B450 Mortar Max ) has Bios Flash back. My pc can boot up but it suddenly went off becuase of false cpu temp that it reaches 90-127 c that send to mobo. Msi already released the bios update that will correct the cpu temp and fan speed but in beta version. Can i use that method that you did in updating my bios?
Thankyou
Yes, using USB BIOS flashback is also recommended in these cases.
@@tayfuraltinay1894 hello, im already done flashing new bios update to my mobo and it works, gone the prompt overheating issue before booting up. Thanks again.
Did this work for anybody who tried using ai suite 3 and couldn't use the ex installer?
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
Have you tried any other USB drives? That is often the issue.
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
You only power on the power supply. Do not press power button on the computer to start it up. You need the power supply turned on in order for the motherboard to have power to update.
Does ASUS TUF GAMING B760-PLUS WIFI DDR4 support this feature? Also do I need to flash the bios to install 14th gen CPU on this motherboard or should the stock BIOS be enough to run this CPU?
From what I can tell it does not support BIOS flashback and I do not see a button so I would guess not. Looking at the support page it seems you would need an update from a few months ago to run 14th gen and I doubt a new board would have the latest BIOS versions.
@@KLEEBZTECH uh, okay. But I see it has something called Asus Crash free BIOS. Would it work or not?
I have little experience with Asus Crash free BIOS but my understanding is it only works when it detects a corrupt BIOS and you still need compatible components.
hi i have mother board asus b350 and i have problem >>>>> the Q-Flash Plus button is not found >>> what i do ??
If there's no Q flash plus button then that probably means your board doesn't support it. Does it have a USB port that indicates bios update?
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
yup
@@KLEEBZTECH thanks man
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”
I just went back and checked the original video in real time and mine took about 3 or 4 minutes for the last two updates I did. I actually flashed it to an older version since it was already updated so I could make the video so I did it twice. Both times were around 4 minutes.
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
It is possible that they have changed things when it comes to that. But usually they don't change things when it comes to the BIOS very quickly. I would usually still do it myself with FAT32 but if you do it a different way and it works would love to know.
@@KLEEBZTECH I tried, but nothing happened. I let it sit for like 20 minutes after the light on the back stopped flashing, and when I turned on my pc it was normal with no update. .-.
Thanks you for this video, I did it with 64GB flash driver, so no problem to do this with exFat mine is Z790-E.
Hey i am having problems with the same mobo and my 14700k cuz the bios doesnt update it stops after 3min flashin and get error code 00 what did you do exsctly?
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?
Nothing that you could probably do. I would contact their support. If you can't get into the BIOS nothing you can do.
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 ?
Yes you need to turn on the power switch on the power supply but do not boot up the computer.
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
Can you use this method but instead download the drivers related to lan network/ wifi
What if your mb doesn't have a bios flash button? (Asus z170m plus)
Then you would have to do it the normal way in the BIOS. ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html
sir sorry for bother , at 4:32 should i turn on my switch on ground after i turn on the switch on psu??
Not sure what you mean. Once you turn on the power supply you can then proceed. Do not boot the computer though if assembled.

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...

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 haven't tested on Asus boards if you can reflash the same version. I know with others when I have tried that it doesn't update because it detects the same version. And personally going the other route with the CMOS battery is probably the safer route. As for flashing previous versions you would have to check the BIOS updates and see if any notes about that. I know I have seen some that say you can't flash a previous version after a specific update.
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.
Without BIOS flashback feature you will need to update with this method which does require that the computer can boot into the BIOS: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html
My mobo doesn't have a bios usb or flash button
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?
I kinda had the same problem but i noticed it did work , just refresh the folder and the name will be update
@@christophershumba7042 thank you for that 😄
so if it only went like you said flashed seconds and turned to solid green then bios update never worked right?
Most likely not.
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 ?
Using this method it should make no difference.
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…
Strange...
My asus rog won't work with 13500. I did BIOS flashback latest update which went as expected but then I'm getting fans and lights working but nothing in monitor (connected to motherboard since I don't use graphics card)
Why i dont see the green light flashing? I dont know if the Bios is Flashing🤷
If you are in a room with bright lights it may be hard to see the light flashing. Turn off some lights just to see if it is. Does your USB have a light? That you can check as well to know if it is accessing the USB to do the update.
Is this method going to work on Rog strix z790 hero??? Please let me know. I am so confused.
If it has the BIOS flashback button it supports the method.
I just bought new Asus TUF Gaming B450M-PRO-II for my ryzen 5600g..it need a bios update for this processor.. as u saw in video it just need to connect 16 pin power cable to mobo.. do we also need to connect cpu cable as well or not or just 16 pin motherboard cable ..pls clear it
You only need to connect the 24 pin power cable. ASUS does not need the CPU cable plugged in.
@@KLEEBZTECH ok thanks for confirming
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
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.
Well that depends on who you ask. Some will say the flashback method should only be when you can't do it the other way. They feel at seeing more feedback in the Bios utility is better. But my feeling is they are really the same. And from everything that I've read from the manufacturers they mention using the flashback as being the easier way. Really it's a matter of choice. I usually would do it on a new-build with the flashback and just get it out of the way. Of course some say you shouldn't update the BIOS unless you have issues but I always do it on a new-build.
The only format option my usb gets is ExFat... is that okay? or does it have to be Fat32?
That most likely means you are using a drive larger than 32GB. There are ways of formatting a drive larger than 32GB as Fat32 but I do not cover those. It does need to be Fat32.
sorry, is the cpu,ram, gpu already installed or not?
Can you do this if you already have an older bios version installed? I just want to update to a newer bios version.
Yes this is to update whatever you currently have to the newer version. It will replace the BIOS currently installed.
Flashing BIOS gives me anxiety. But I will follow this video once I buy my new PC. Thanks!
Understand. It used to for me as well. But honestly it is rare I run into issues these days and when I do it is usually a defective motherboard that gets replaced. Nothing you can do about that.

How do I know what to rename my BIOS file to? I'm trying to flash my ASUS M32AD Desktop after a big partitioning mistake I made a while ago. And on top of that, I don't have BIOS Flasback or anything like it. Just USB ports on the back and front. Would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction at least!
If you don't have the BIOS flashback feature then you would have to do it within the BIOS itself. You would not rename the file if doing it that way. We do have a video for that method: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html
@KLEEBZTECH I can't access my BIOS screen unfortunately. I deleted the boot partition 😞
The BIOS should be able to be accessed even without a hard drive since it is imbedded on the motherboard and has nothing to do with the hard drive. Have you tried mashing the DEL key while booting?
@KLEEBZTECH Yes, I've done all of that with multiple USB ports etc. When I was partitioning the harddrive I was using Linux/MS dualboot and had access to the UEFI Boot Partition. I ended up somehow wiping that. I thought there might be a way to flash the mobo without access to the monitor or keyboard/mouse. Thank you for your fast replies btw!
So im doing this litle project and have some parts ordered. What should i do when they arive, should i first assemble the pc and see if the cpu needs the bios update or straight on just instal the newest bios update?

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?
That would only be if you already have Windows installed. Otherwise you can do it after.
ASUS saying you have to update ME firmware before BIOS update. how..? if I have no OS yet? lol. so confusing.. (starting my ProArt z790 build). can anyone explain?
There should be a download link on the support page somewhere. But that's only necessary if you already have an OS installed. If you don't then just go ahead and install and install it after just like all your drivers

@@KLEEBZTECH I looked for another usb drive, I’m gonna try using that one tonight. I will let you know if it works.
From the sounds of it that may be the issue. I know when I run into issues with the USB it will flash for a few seconds and then stop. That is often a sign that the process is working but that it doesn't find the file for whatever reason. And that is usually fixed by just trying a different USB.
