Hey guys I just put together a pc with a 5600x and 3070 in an asus prime b550m-a wifi motherboard and I’m having issues doing a bios update for the 5000 series cpu, I also built one yesterday with a 5600x but in a aorus elite wifi X570 and it had the bios flash button so I was able to update the bios using that but the b550 doesn’t have a button. Any advise is appreciated I don’t want to have to put a 3000 series in to update the bios.
I’m currently running an ASUS PRIME B550M-A WIFI II with a Ryzen 7 5700G and an RX 9060 XT 8GB.
My RAM kit is Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2×16GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
(CMK32GX4M2E3200C16).
I’m on BIOS 3621 (from last year) and I’ve been running a stable manual RAM OC at:
-
3600 MT/s
-
CL18-21-21-40
-
1.38 V DRAM
-
SOC / other voltages left on Auto
The system is fully stable (no WHEA errors, no crashes).
ASUS just released BIOS 3636 today, with the only changelog being:
I know BIOS updates can sometimes change AGESA and memory training, so my main concern is whether updating could affect a known-good RAM OC.
There were also two BIOS versions between 3621 and 3636 (3631 and 3634), which updated AGESA to ComboV2 PI 1.2.0.F and included security updates**.**
Im waiting on components and haven't started building just yet but I realized that the mobo I went with wont recognize my 5600x without a bios update. But the problem I foresee happening is if it wont post, how do I get into bios to update the mobo?
Does this mobo have a bios flashback USB port that I can stick a thumb drive into? Does anyone have any way of solving this issue? Thank you for the help! The website for this mobo doesnt seem to help or Im just not able to recognize if it has support for a bios flashback. Any help is appreciated
MOBO: AMD B550 (Ryzen AM4) micro ATX motherboard
CPU: ryzen 5600x
Greetings, I'm currently upgrading my build:
i5-4460. Asus H81M-A. Corsair Vengeance 1x8gb DDR3-1300, Kingston A400 480gb SSD. Gigabyte GV-RX 570 4gb. Corsair CX450M 80+ Bronze and replacing with:
Amd Ryzen 5 5600, Asus Prime B550M-A AC AM4, Kingston FURY Beast 2x8gb DDR4 3200Mhz, Kingston NV2 1TB, PowerColor Fighter Radeon Rx 6600 8gb
Do I need a 3000 series cpu to update bios or will the 5000 series cpu allow me to enter bios settings to update it via usb flash?
My gpu is in shipping and I'd like to test and see the system post or return any faulty equipment within the allotted time provided by seller. My concern is putting it together in vain.
I watched couple vids that left me with doubts and I CBA watching more due to lack of time I'm hecking losing sleep at this point on my days off work. so would like some input please and thanks in advance. Forgive me if this a dumb question. A simple yes/no will suffice.
Just thought I’d do my due diligence and leave this here for the next person to fall upon this issue.
Had a friend buy this motherboard and ask me to install it for them, had no issues during installation, booted and posted first time, updated BIOS, then I logged in and started installing drivers. When I ran the WIFI driver from ASUS website, nothing seemed to happen. I quickly realised there were no wifi icons to be seen (either in quick access or settings). I checked device manager - yellow caution symbol, auto update wasn’t detecting anything available and searching manually also wasn’t picking up this very blatant file on my desktop.. BIOS - to see if onboard WIFI was enabled - which it was.. even enabling ‘WWAN AutoConfig’ under services and yep, definitely not taking the install. I attempted numerous times, restarting and trying again with still, nothing working.
Then, while looking through the manual, I realised that the WIFI driver install file that I had gotten from Asus’s website (keep in mind, you need to input your exact model details to get the correct drivers, which I had done) WASN’T THE CORRECT DRIVER FOR THE BOARD. The WIFI driver that it asks for you to install from their website under Asus B550M-A Wifi II.. is a MediaTek driver, the CORRECT WIFI driver that is used by the motherboard… requires the RealTek WIFI driver..
Flick me a message if you need this driver, also if you need to double check which driver you require, that can be found one of three ways, in the user guide under ‘specification summary’, checking CPU-Z or using Asus’s Armory Crate. Cheers lads
