I used to refuse watching Tech deal as it feels like some well put together sale presentation. After watching a few videos I realize this is the channel with the best technical, informative, up to date and value-oriented content out there. Keep up the good work.
i agree he has helped me install and update my new pc effortless!
Linus is more of what you described IMO although his videos can be useful if you can filter the BS.
He is very well spoken
Same here lmao
Carlo Alberto I don’t really go to Linus for tech help, I go to watch for fun, I can’t take their videos seriously, unless of course Anthony’s there
He says: "In 3 minutes"
The video title says: "In 5 minutes"
The video length is 7 minutes

5:20 The BIOS boot menu is accessed before Windows, which is that White-On-Black background with the motherboard info you see for a couple seconds whenever your PC starts up. It shows the keys to access the boot menu, which depends on each manufacturer.
6:50 Something very important that wasn't explained here is that the reset applies to the "Hard Drive BBS Priorities", which means that if you boot from your SSD, you'll have to make it the first priority or else you get a boot\cmd error!
Please pin this, because this was a serious problem I experienced!
I dunno but there’s something calming about the way he explains things..
he looks like michael myers in a way idk why hahahaha
i know ryt? like ur not afraid to do these things with ur pc hehehe
I feel quite the opposite, I don't like his expressions and body language lol

You explain things in more detail than other tech reviewers. You always add the 'in between' processes too. I, for one, appreciate this. Other channels skip over sections, wrongly assuming their audience knows what to do.
totally agree
i'm following you for a few months and i think you are nearly a perfect channel for those whom is not speaking English as native language. You deserve more than these views.
Solid demonstration as always!!!!! Keep up the Good Work!!!!
agreed
I just built a PC and this was literally the lifesaver I needed! Thank you so much for this!
Be aware that as with my Asrock B350 MB, you may be asked to update to an intermediate version before jumping headlong into the latest. So, for example, you have version 1.3 installed. The latest version is 2.9. You may have to update to 2.1 minimum before proceeding to 2.9.
I was wondering if that was necessary. Does skipping steps brick things?
@@Kune35 most likely it is better to take it step by step.
@@Kune35 kinda yes
Ive come to this video so many times for help, you'd think I would learn already....
A word of advice to new computer users. There is always a risk when updating bios. Especially if you do not have good solid troubleshooting and general knowledge. If a bios update fails it can turn your mainboard into a boat anchor. Use caution while doing this and if you are not confident, take the machine into a well known shop and have them do it. Cheers
Thanks but how would it be hard to do? I’m new to pcs and stuff btw
@@krishcurry65 dats what I'm thinking too
I'm trying to update my gigabyte x570 bios to support the 5000 series cpu but i don't need this Qflash bs i already have a working system and just want to update it from a file but i can't get a clear explanation on how to do it! lol
@@krishcurry65 it's not hard but if your PC randomly shuts down, if you hit the power button while updating or your power goes out you can brick your mobo mid update
Updating bios is actually the longest minute of my life.
The power went out while my BIOS were updating.. now my motherboard is totally bricked 😂😂😂

That's why we shouldn't act like an over techy guy without any knowledge.I have seen many people who be like this graphics that processor this fan cooling and what not Lmao.

Here I am again, four years later, refreshing myself on how to update my bios. Tech Deals, your videos are timeless ❤
I remember recently when I was fixing up an ultra cheap gaming PC for older games. I had this one PC that was given to me that had an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+ cpu with 3 gb ddr2 ram and a GTX 285. Well, I was able to buy a quad core AMD Phenom x4 9650 for like $6.00 and at first when I installed it, the PC wouldn't boot or do anything, so then I figured to myself that I needed to update the motherboard BIOS to something a little more recent and its motherboard is an ASUS M2N-E. I then put the old cpu back in, updated the BIOS, then installed the quad core Phenom and now it seems to be working fine. I have it set up to where it dual-boots Windows 10 with Windows XP and both work fine on it. For gaming, it seems to handle any 3d games made up until 2011 to 2012.
Thank you for this video! I've been playing New World and it was shutting my computer down constantly, so someone said to update the BIOS. I was super nervous to update it by myself, as my friends told me to go get it done by a professional, just in case I bricked things. You laid things out very simply and I was able to do it!
Im glad you do vids like these, got into it when risen came out and didnt know how for a long time.easy peasy now but not then
It would have been helpful to have shown people how to backup any overclock or config settings prior to flashing the bios. That is a big step for many that I think might have been overlooked.
Is it possible to revert back to old bios if I mess up the update?
@@hereticsshallbecleansed7245 Some boards have that feature, some don't.
The AsRock boards also tell you not to have your settings on OC mode before updating as well. Not sure how much this matters or not, but I saw this message on my own AsRock board as well.
Along with checking to see if the XMP setting was changed, you might want to check the CPU clock(all cores turbo) settings after a BIOS update too. But I guess that depends on the motherboard's characteristics/manufacturer. Updating BIOS from Windows makes me nervous btw...I prefer to keep it at the mobo level process...
Am having this problem and there were a few videos on this but his smile was so welcoming
This guy is the best tech dude on all of UA-cam. Love the channel!!
I guess 2nd to Linus? :)
Just built my first computer and this vid was a lot of help. thank you
I used internet flash on 3 AsRock boards,worked perfectly every time,to me it seems the easiest and quickest way for bios upgrade,if the motherboard has the option ofc.
I still got MSI B250M Bazooka v1. 0 bios version :3 now finally some video that elightened me for weeks of searching, nice youtube algorithm I guess, good recommendation, so i can basically jump 1.0 to 1.7 for example and not update through 1.1 > 1.2, 1.2 > 1.3 etc. Thanks again tech deals, this channel is really helpful af.
This video gave me the confidence to try it and I did, thank you!!!!
Hope you read this.
So....I built my PC in August 2018...updated my Bios in early February and two days later I got BSOD for the first time ever and finally no display was coming up. I never knew as a new PC enthusiast what possible outcomes updating the Bios could do. Still trouble shooting but so far I know my CPU went bad, motherboard, even my new motherboard i bought (bad luck there) and although my RAM worked on a repair shop test rig in pairs I feel it might not be at 100 percent either. It had to be the Bios update because my system ran fine for months before. I would have to say don't upgrade it if your computer is working fine. Thats what everyone told me since they have heard all the horror stories of bad updates reslly screwing stuff up. I might go from 8700k to 9700k with my z370 mobo whenever that gets fixed but yea it has not been fun. :(
That sucks. Most bios download pages do say not to update unless you need to.
Same, my Z170 motherboard is lack Kaby Lake support, and no point in update, even the Spectre/Meltdown issue, I suspect that it's usually business side. I still don't understand why OC motherboard has this back-up BIOS feature, or expect that we buy their respective BIOS external flash to reflash a bricked motherboard.
If you are weary of BIOS updates, check them on forums and see what people have said. On my ryzen board, haven't had issues yet. But I always check regardless. Pop your CMOS battery out to clear BIOS. Hope that helps.
@@Soundsaboutright42 trust me i have done every troubleshoot possible including clearing the CMOS battery. The cpu died since i bought a new one to test and then i found out the board ram slots also went bad. So thats why idk if my RAM is 100 pe percent ok or not.
Also my original board was an asus z370 e gaming. I didnt read that warning anywhere or didn't see it but i saw it somewhere after. Also my cpu was never OC just RAM with xmp profile. Again no major issues but my rgb wasn't working together well and some lag in videogames but apparently Bios has no effect
@@nikthequick9688 I wonder if on that board if voltage issues happened some how. Totally unsure, but sorry for all of your problems man.
Thanks TD, never got around to updating my mb but did tonight. Cheers!
Alex so how was it?
Ever so Thoroughly informative.
It’s good to mention that the bios updates use a roll up method, so it’s not required to update every file between your version and the latest version. Believe it or not some people don’t realize this.
So you should install the newest versions or or choosing one in between before updating to the last one ?
@@dzcasanova8840 There are some cases where this is required. Look at the bios version comments above yours, see if an intermediary update is necessary. This does happen. In some cases the system will not allow you to update because of this possible mismatch. I had an Asus board fail to even acknowledge the bios update on the usb drive after selecting it. It only did when I updated 2-3 updates above the current version. This happens because of microcode updates and /or bios utility updates.
@@Markinpuff ahhh I see , and is there a solution if you fail updating your bios somehow , a plan B or at least come back the previous or original version , or is it all a risky thing ?
@@dzcasanova8840 Well, if you attempt to update and the system say loses power in the middle of the update then that can theoretically brick your motherboard. That’s dependent on if you’re motherboard has Duel-bios and/or a flashback features. But today’s motherboards will reject invalid bios files or resort to a default bios if something goes wrong. Don’t worry about it. I personally always use a UPS and keep my area secure from power loss. Don’t use the internet flash option, just stick with a usb drive as the bios source. Remember to unzip the bios file and put that unzipped file on the board only. Keep it simple if you’re new to this..
@@Markinpuff Yeah it's gonna be my first attempt , and thank you so much I really appreciate that
Such humbler times, thanks for the video I haven't done this in several months 😅
Thank you so much man! Feel like a computer genius doing this, when in reality it's really simple!
Best video out here for first time builders
I didnt expect it to be my exact motherboard. Cheers, seems straightforward.
should i update bios after changing my cpu?
There's always an 80's vibe i would felt everytime i watch your videos sir. I don't know why.. Maybe because you look like an 80's person to me :)

Just updated my asrock x570m pro 4 bios successfully. Thanks! That was kind of scary.
Wow, this is actually helpful. Just kind of afraid of doing it on my own, but it seems fairly simple
Dude you have been the only person that has a biginers videos good job and even your voice is soft thank you.
I'm upgrading my processor and motherboard..So what r the things to consider for BIOS and do I need to format my pc before upgrading?
Wonderful, you are the only UA-cam channel that I trust the most for an important topic such as bios update.
interestingly a nice guide.. quick and straight to the point without too much blabbering, compared to other guide videos i've seen lol..
Remember when you had to boot DOS to do this? Good times...
The usb type bios install on some new m/b is completed at dos level
Thanks again for your efforts to provide us this really useful update. You are the best
Great video and very helpful for people who don't understand a lot about computers. I am sure this will help them tremendously. 👍
thanks, now ill be able to upgrade from a pentium G645 to a i5 3570k 😀
:o :D
Love your videos, they are so informative and professional in every way. Straight to the point with all of the important steps and solutions. Fantastic channel, keep up good work!
Update BIOS in 5 mins but the video is of 7 mins😅😅
@@kabir6629 intro outro etc.
Best tech channel on youtube. I am glad i found your channel. Cheers!!!
Do I do this before or after I get my new CPU?
idk if it matters considering its from the MOBO
Thanks! Helped a lot when I upgraded my bios for Ryzen 3600
I like this channel and this person, explaining is on point and straight to the point
You're awesome dude! You helped me get my BIOS fixed and a bunch of other issues with a few other videos you've put out. Cannot thank you enough ❤😀
sir.can u please tell me how to enter bios.i cant enter now..even i press the bios key to enter..
I love your channel man. Keep up the good work.
Great video thank you! Do I need to reinstall the drivers after the bios update? Thanks
Thanks a lot man!
Was new to all these but with the help of your amazing video I successfully updated my BIOS.
Alhamdulillahi ❤️
Title Says: In 5 minutes.
Video is 7 minutes.
Guy in video says 3 minutes...
He is teaching arthemetic progression
One can notice that you have a new crew. Keep it going Tech, god bless!
If i bought a new pc only few months ago with am4 motherboard and ryzen r5 2600, should i update my bios? Will it make that much of a difference?
No I have the same and I wouldn't recommend it. Even mobo manufacturers say on their sites they don't recommend updating bios if your system is working fine. So outside of some major security flaw or bug being discovered and an update for it being released I wouldn't update as it can be risky.
there might be an update and it normally makes a difference - also some motherboards can be years out of date
Thanks for explaining different options...work straight away for me USB in BIOS Q-Flash on Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 MotherBoard 2014 to 2016 update ...long over DUE
What about the settings?
1. Will windows drivers i.e. sound, graphic, WLAN etc will also need to be installed again?
2. Will the liquid cooler settings get disturbed by bios update? (Will fan, liquid pump, and other cooling speed settings need to be set again? if YES then where can one find the exact settings again)
3. Will processor threading setting get affected? (Will this need to be set again?)
4. All other little setting scroll down bars in the bios IDE will also need to be set again?
Nice video but, Unfortunately, you just simply mentioned re-apply settings and did not go to most important details of the process which plays a big part in fear of breaking the PC and keeps quite a few of us people from updating our bios. Specialty when your video title mentions the word safety.
I am not criticizing, instead I am interested in updating my bios, and I was looking for solid information about above-mentioned questions, and unfortunately, your video was not helofull enough for me.
Looking nice and cozy in your champion crew neck 😁😁👍🏽👍🏽 thanks for the information!!
Thanks Tech i just updated mine and it was 12 months out of date, a bit nervous booting up again as it took a while with the ASUS B450M A2
Thankyou so much! I just got a new Ryzen 7 cpu and when i put it in my pc was boot looping and I was worried I broke something.. Updated my bios as you shown imwith flashdrive and BAM works like new! Subscribing
I've been wanting to see a video about this from you. I love your tech videos above the rest of the other tech channels. You go indepth on you pc builds and just have a lot to say on the topic in general. Keep up the great work.
I have always used Internet flash on my ASROCK board. Never had to rummage trough sites and what not. 1 click automatic update
Only the more recent mobo can have Live update through the Web.
Finally I can update my incredibly old bios
Mine is from 2008
3rd time watching this video, just ordered my new cpu, have to update the mobo bios, shit is nerve wracking. Still scared to do it
@Dylan Zammit this was like a month ago i did it
how did it go? I have a b450 a pro(www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F85YW8R/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and im assuming i need to flash bios for my ryzen 9 3900xt that im going to be purchasing
@@VizorWinsEz just flashing mine now same as yours, fingers crossed
@@colindicks3505 mine went really well
Question... I know this may be a silly question but does installing the latest bios also install the features/key changes from the previous version or only the features for that specific version?
I know this stuff (like many of us in this channel), but it is so pleasant to hear this guy talk: coherent, no slur, logical line of thought, clear sentences, even in his ramble videos. He should work as university lecturer, because OH BOY some people there need to learn to talk... I live in a country where nobody can communicate and talk, yet they get angry when someone can't understand them. Especially in wok environment. You need to be able to understand and do things from a get go and people hate questions here. Sucks to live in a post-soviet country.
your videos have been god tier and have helped keep me informed from the very beginning of my pc journeys. stay beautiful
I just did it over the bios and it worked. Thank you. I have the asus rog strix b450 f gaming.
Thanks tech, just updated mine. If you could do an upgrade video for the 800$ cyberpower you reviewed two years ago, I think alot of us would benefit! What to buy and when to buy.
I have a custom built 3xs pc. I recently updated successfully to windows 11. Is there any changes that should be applied to bios that can improve performance or are more suitable?
Its such an easy process these days compared to the flapping around even a few years ago,very easy from in bios to online.The Specre patches dont seem to be covering haswell(Gigabyte) and before.Which kinda sucks.
I have a asrock b450 Pro4 (P4.30 version) and a ryzen 7 2700x processor, is it safe to update and if so what version should i update it to because there are beta and later and older updates.
Big thanks man. I've always been scared to update my bios but I have no choice at the moment, just installed an nvme m.2 & there's clearly some issues across the board & I've been told bios update will cure more than half. Still nervous but at least now a decent tutorial. Plus it's it's a cyberpower with an asrock board so that makes it feel more comfortable
Was your update successful?
@@TheFpsGoddess honestly I haven't done it yet, I wrote the board manufacturer to ask advisement in the old way or the new net way, what features would I gain & most importantly which exact update is needed. Also posted on their forums but no response. I can deal with the rest but I need the exact version
If I buy a completely new Asus ROG Strix B450 f gaming Mobo and put a Ryzen 5 3600 can I get into the BIOS to update it? Or it wouldn't turn on?
The best of all ! Hope to see you soon sir!
thanks i was scared to do a bios update b4 but now i'ma see about doin' one someday
oh ok
I remember upgrading from a r5 1400 to a r5 2600 and I put the new CPU in and nearly shit myself when it didn’t boot. Then I realized that I had to update the MB bios in order to get it to support the cpu. That was a super stressful moment lol. I was/am new at PC building so I was just a little nervous to begin with and that didn’t really help haha
This made me more confident in updating my bios
I have a question does incremental updates necessary or should I just update my Bios on the latest one?
I use to have that same computer! Upgraded to a far more powerful one when it broke down out if no where
For the instant flash method, can I use an external hard drive with other data on it already or does it have to be a USB stick that's been formatted and contains no information? Thanks in advance!
So the latest update has all the features from the previous or do i have to download them all? 🤔🤔
I just updated (flashed) the bios in my old tower pc that was using a 2007 bios. Now I can turn it in to a file server because before it wouldn't recognise drives over 2Tb, and now it does...
Do you have to put the USB stick in a specific USB port on all motherboards, or just some ? I have not bought a new motherboard in 5 years, and that one was an older model. So I am still using something from the 2012 era. I can't remember if I ever updated the BIOS, but if I did it has been 4 years. Finding spare time ( even 5 minutes these days, seems to take an Act of Congress ).
Can u please make a video on updating Phoenix technologies bios...PLEASE
I am looking into building my own pc, will i need to update the bios before even installing it into my build?
do i have to update one by one all the updates or the last one ?

Thank you. Very clear demonstration and very helpful.
great video. i've a question though - why do I need to down load the update to a usb flash drive, and not directly to a system drive....?(for some odd reason, my bios update wont got o my usb drive)
You look like Melissa McCarthy's brother and you make me just happy to listen to. Keep up the excellent work
should i update my BIOS past what is on the manufacturer website for that model?
