Personally, I think you will have fewer problems and have a better overall experience if you make an effort to keep your system BIOS up to date. Some hardware vendors have disclaimers about not updating the BIOS if your system is operating normally. It has not happened to me in many, many years.īeing careful, following the instructions, and having your system protected by a UPS (in case you lose power during the update) will minimize the risk. This is much less likely than it was years ago, but it can still happen. It is possible for a BIOS update to fail, and possibly make your system inoperable. Updating to a new BIOS version is one of the more risky operations. There is always some risk when you make any changes to a computer system. Flashing Your BIOS with No CPU Installed.How to Flash an MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk BIOS with No CPU Here are the results before the BIOS update. There was a substantial improvement in 元 cache bandwidth, for reads, writes and copy operations. I ran the AIDA64 Cache and Memory benchmark on my MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk system before and after installing the latest BIOS update. This BIOS version enables Smart Access Memory for Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs and also includes a fix/improvement for 元 cache bandwidth performance in Ryzen 5000 series processors. For example, MSI has released a new beta BIOS version for all of their X570, B550, and A520 motherboards that includes AGESA version 1.2.0.1. AMD AGESA 1.2.0.1 ImprovementsīIOS updates correct problems and they often introduce new features. If you have made previous changes, such as enabling XMP, you will want to go back in and make those changes again. One side effect of flashing your BIOS is that all the BIOS settings will go back to their default values. I have a video that demonstrates this entire process. When it is done, the system will shutdown and reboot. This typically takes around five minutes. The M-Flash utility will read the BIOS update file from your USB flash drive and then update your BIOS. During the POST process as your system is starting, you can press the Delete key to enter the BIOS setup program or you can press Ctrl + F5 to go directly into M-Flash. The M-Flash utility is in the BIOS setup program. After that, make sure the USB flash drive is in a USB port, and then shut down and restart your system. Both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 flash drives seem to work equally well. Next, you have to copy the BIOS update file to a USB flash drive. Updating the BIOS with M-Flashįirst, you will have to locate, download, and unzip the correct BIOS update file for your motherboard. Of the three, M-Flash is the most common, and probably the most reliable. These include the M-Flash utility, using the Flash BIOS button, and using the MSI Dragon Center application from Windows. MSI has three main methods for doing BIOS updates. This post will cover Updating the BIOS on an MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk with M-Flash. Hardware vendors periodically release updated BIOS versions that correct problems or add new features. Whether you have a prebuilt system from a large vendor or a machine you built yourself from parts, you will probably need to update the BIOS at some point. ![]()
