How to update Gigabyte motherboard BIOS

Hey guy's R4GE VipeRzZ here, and today I'm going to show you how can update your BIOS on a Gigabyte motherboard.

In order to do this we will need a USB storage device that can be used to store the BIOS update files. To update the BIOS we will transfer the files to the USB, booting into the BIOS, and then install the new BIOS through Q-Flash.

The motherboard used in this video is the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2.

This video is a god send. No bs and thanks for explaining everything, even additional steps, simple and easy

FYI, my gigabyte board (Z790 Aurus Elite AX rev1) resets the bios to factory default after a BIOS update. Not only that, it completely clears all the saved profiles! Super important, save your profiles to a USB stick prior to updating the bios, otherwise you need to re-do your whole configuration! Learned this the hard way.

I have been searching for the last two days on why my HHD had disappeared on me and had no luck until finding this video. This video was a life saver and I cannot thank you enough for making it! Absolute legend

Like all the previous comments have stated - a really simple, informative and no bs video. Following this guide was much easier to comprehend than the overly perplexing PDF manual Gigabyte included in their update file. Thanks a lot!

This is one of the most constructive video for updating bios. Keep up the good work man. Subbed 👍🏻

Thank you so much for this very simple and detailed video. I didn’t know my bios hasn’t been updated since 2021 lol.
I was behind a couple updates. Everything worked out fine thanks to you good sir!

And now I cannot unhear MotherBod. On a side note my work buddy is trying to update his Bios but when I does, the screen stays blank and has no Input to the monitor and when he reboots for awhile the bios is not updated, but at least he is getting back into windows.

My ALIENWARE R8 PC indicated that I needed to run a diagnostic test. The test also showed that I needed to install updates. I selected the install all updates. After doing the updates, I saw my BIOS update didn't install. I called support to report my situation and was asked to allow the support person to have control of my PC, which I allowed. After a few minutes, I was informed that my BIOS was too OUTDATED to allow the latest BIOS to be installed. All updates newer than mine needed to be installed one at a time, in ascending order, until the newest one was installed. Thanks to this help, my PC now had the latest BIOS installed. I hope my comment helps anyone who has run into this situation.

Thanks. It works great! This video saved me the hassle of creating a bootable FAT32 USB and then rebooting from that USB.

Best and most clear bios update video I've yet seen. Thanks!

[buhbird]

first time i’ve ever updated bios, this was an easy to follow guide that walks you thru on every minute detail in the update process (that part about formatting to fat32 probs saved me). Thanks for the help! PS: watch the entire video before starting don’t just follow along step by step

Thanks for this. Im upgrading to a 5800x3d from a 5600x. I always get a little nervous flashing bios so I watched your video as a refresher & now I'm ready to drop that cpu in. good stuff

[Matricule-rukl]

Had to flash my bios, your video is truly as helping as well made, thanks a lot man

[pepper-pultpult]

Thank you for your video! I've decided to update my old Z270-XP-SLI to the latest BIOS version, and right now everything is working fine!

[papertger]

very helpful video. i wouldn't have thought about the dedicated port w/o watching this

[davesmith]

This is a very good video with everything required being covered. Well done!
Info: I had a USB stick that was ok in Windows and Linux but the Qflash bios utility could not see the file on the USB stick. If that happens to you just swap it out for another USB stick, it worked for me. (The USB was correctly formatted and the file was there, weird.) subbed.

Finally someone that knows what thier doing thank you so much I needed to update to F3e and that update wasn't in the GCC so I had to download the update and do it myself and your video took the stress and headache out of it. Thank you so much

[drLuigidr]

Thank you so much for your video. Very clear and straightforward. I never knew my motherboard version was stamped on the board itself! Won't forget that tip thank you!
