Aside from Q-flash, what is an easy way to do so inside Windows 10?
Their docs that come up as the first result on Google search are outdated, and outright direct you to non-existent 404 pages when you try to access the @BIOS tool they advertise.
Then I also just got Gigabyte Control Center, but it told me there's no BIOS update. I just got Z790 Gaming X AX rev 1.0 and I wanna double check if there's a newer BIOS for it, because I feel like my start ups after setting XMP Profile 1 are taking so much longer than normal.
EDIT:
Thank you all for the responses, I did end up using Q-flash from the BIOS. Here are a few important steps I did in case someone is trying to do the same thing:
-
You can find the latest BIOS files for your specific model of your motherboard on their website in the Support tab. If you try to search for this information on Google or what not, you may find some outdated information on their website, do not follow it!
-
Prepare a USB drive and format it with FAT32. Unzip the files from the BIOS you downloaded and copy it to the USB drive.
-
Insert the USB drive in the rear USB slot that says "BIOS" or "Q-flash" depending on the motherboard.
-
Restart PC and either go into Q-flash mode by pressing END or you can access it via BIOS (DEL).
-
Follow instructions.
-
It will take some time to finish and PC will restart a few times. PLEASE NOTE, BIOS settings will all reset, so you will have to go back in to re-enable XMP, etc. In my case bootable devices were not found again, so make sure you enable CSM support and enable UEFI instead of Legacy, that will show all your drives again.
