![]() ![]() There might be a BIOS version stamped on the box somewhere when you get it. Do you leave it on for 10 minutes, 10 days or 10 weeks before you risk bricking it? So because of that, it would be my last resort. I have no idea what stage it's at so wouldn't know if it's flashing, Didn't even attempt to flash, crashed or if it's just watching porn on it's own. I have never used that bios feature, and wouldn't trust it either. With the wrong CPU (afaik) nothing would appear on screen. So I have an additional question that might just solve all of this: If I power up the motherboard with only the CPU in it and it's on the wrong BIOS version for this motherboard, would I see POST Code 57 (CPU Mismatch)? (If so, this would tell me the BIOS just plain needs upgraded and I would know to do it for sure) The Motherboard should also show a POST code if it doesn't detect the CPU (such as when nothing is installed), this means it should always show me a code regardless. Note: My understanding with this motherboard is it can be flashed without anything installed on the board as long as it's connected to power (no CPU, no RAM, nothing at all besides the USB to flash it with). Will I need to do the BIOS update with the motherboard only connected to power (this motherboard is designed to do that if needed)?Īlso, is there a way of even telling what BIOS I have before even powering up the motherboard (such as calling Asus with the serial number and they have a record of what it came stock with)? What happens if I try to start the system with the CPU installed and the BIOS is on a lower version? Will it boot enough for me to do a BIOS update through the BIOS itself? I've attached the Motherboard's manual if needed. ![]() However, I'd like to know a few things about this since I've flashed BIOS before on a number of boards for various hardware compatibility, but never for the CPU itself. I am going to be using an I7-6800K on an Asus Rampage V Edition 10 Motherboard and I am fairly certain I will need to upgrade the BIOS to version 0502 or later to use my CPU (reference: ). ![]()
