Load Gigabyte Bios Update From Usb Flash Drive

Update can be done without old CPU with USB flash drive only.

I ended up keeping this motherboard over the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX. The install and bios update was smooth. My Corsair Vengeance RAM worked perfectly with the mobo. Definitely highly recommend for folks switching to the AM5 chipset.

For less than $4.50 this is the best USB flash drive I have been able to find anywhere. I was able to load a 25GB video file in 21 minutes. Hard to beat.

Works great, easy to install everything. BIOS is easy to update if you have a zip drive and find a good youtube video.

Didn't even need to update the bios out of the box for the 9100f!

A great board, super solid, fully featured, and bios is pleasure to use and Gigabyte always fast to offer driver, memory support, bios updates, etc. Have used Gigabyte boards for over 20 years, never had bad experience! As mini board, meant for small cases, forget about cable hogging data drives, just choose two NVME drives and forget the mess... enjoy the speed! This board makes the X570 board obsolete really. No chipset fan, updated non-doubler high power VRMs with excellent heatsink linked to chipset/main 4.0 nvmn socket. Like that large heatsink (Patriot Viper NVME) can fit under large chipset heatsink! Two system fan outputs plus CPU output makes fan management a breeze, as does manual fan tuning in the bios. Audio output sounds amazing, much better than 450 series boards, though they are no slouch. Wi-Fi and 2.5G Ethernet all excellent and once update drivers... all works flawlessly. RGB on board can be changed or shut off in Bios! Nothing but praise for this board. Best one I owned, and runs cool and fast inside NR200 CoolerMaster case. Most highly recommended!! Just buy it! B&H shipped very fast, packaged very safely, and priced under even Amazon and NewEgg when I bought it.

Installed in a Gigabyte Aorus Pro AC mobo and enabled the XMP profile BIOS and it booted right up. Verified memory clock is stable and running at 1800 MHz.

One of the only AM5 B650M boards that has both optical and line outs. Has plenty of other I/O as well. Shipped version was 1.2, not the latest 1.3. BIOS as shipped was FB. Installed easily into Thermaltake Tower T200 case. My first gigabyte board in years, been ASUS for past 10y. The gigabyte BIOS was easy to navigate and understand. Updated to latest BIOS, changed to EXPO settings on my RAM, everything just works.

I'm using it on a Gigabyte Z790 Aero G with Phantom Spirit 120 air cooler, and the temps are very reasonable. I did install a contact frame with the cooler, and in the BIOS I'm running it at spec enhanced, to limit the watts to Intel's spec. The temps stay under 80C with 2 P-cores hitting 6Ghz and the rest at 5.7. If I set to optimized in BIOS the watts draw goes up to 315 watts and the temps go to 95C, but 2 p-cores will run at 6.1 GHz and the others at 5.8. For my purposes I'll take the lower temps and watts. In use it rarely draws more than 150 watts and usually stays below 50C. I'm using an old Antec Sonata case with only two case fans.

We are using a flash drive to store and playback videos on a portable projector. I tried with a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, thinking the newer version was better. But the projector had a different idea. I learned from the professionals at B+H that this unit requires an older USB 2.0 Flash Drive. I never would have thought of that but sure enough, when I used this Verbatim 64G Ergo USB 2.0, the projector recognized the videos and played them flawlessly.
