Hey, M-Flash won't bother to work on my B450 Tomahawk. Can I use BIOS Flashback while the cpu is installed?
You only need power to the mobo, but it works fine with the CPU installed.
In my experience, stripping down to the two power cables isn't necessary. I've done it the official barebones way, and I've done it multiple times on a completely assembled PC, and the latter method doesn't appear to negatively affect the outcome.
I'm gonna flash BIOS using the button on my MSI motherboard. It's my first time building a PC and I get a little bit nervous, so I just want you guys to help me check if the process is correct.
-
download the bios file, rename it and put it into a FAT32 flash drive
-
put on power cables onto the motherboard (I think there are 2 cables, one big and one small?)
-
turn on the power
-
plug the flash drive into the correct USB port
-
push the button and wait
-
until it indicates the completion, I can unplug the drive and turn off the power
Thank you!

The title is self-explanatory. I'm planning on buying a Z690 mobo and I'd like to pair it with a 13600K or a 12700KF. I was recommended to buy a 13600K, but it will mean having to update the bios on the Z690 mobo, which I've never done before, but I watched a video of someone doing it some time ago.
After a quick search on the web, I found an article that says that the bios flashback function does not require a CPU installed for it to update, is that true or should I worry about it?
The mobo I'm looking at is a Z690 Edge ddr4 by MSI, it does have a flash bios USB and button on it
So I fully assembled my new PC, which includes an X570 MAG Tomahawk Wifi and a Ryzen 5 5600X. However, in the event that it does not post, I assume I will have to update the BIOS. The MSI manual says that Flashback can be used "without installing the CPU or RAM." However, since my PC is fully assembled, will anything bad happen (i.e. a bricked motherboard) if I use BIOS Flashback on a fully completed PC?
