Updating Bios on X370 Killer SLI/AC

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello Everyone,

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my build: (please see below)

AMD Ryzen 9 3900x 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor 

ASRock X370 Killer SLI/ac ATX AM4 (already using)

ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2 TB M.2 SSD

Geforce RTX 2080S 8GB

I've done a little research and noted that, while this CPU is technically compatible with the Killer, it may require a BIOs update. I went ahead and downloaded the latest update to a formatted quick 16 GB flash drive, and unzipped the update, which was a .80 file. After accessing the bios, setting the settings to default, I attempted to start the update. The MB read the flash drive, but indicated to not find the image file.

I then tried the update from the internet feature, but indicated that there was no update needed. I just wanted to know... is this accurate? Understandably I don't want to go ahead and purchase the AMD upgrade if there's the potential of it not being compatible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
