B365M Pro4 - BIOS update without cpu

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

   Hello,

Can I update my BIOS without using my CPU (i3-9100F)?
I haven't build it yet (next week I will), but I want to be ready.
What should I do if it doesn't work?
My motherboard is B365M Pro4.

	Dear Zipperok, Thanks for posting your query to ASRock forum. For this motherboard, you will need to boot the system first in order to update the BIOS. Thus, CPU is required. For 9100F CPU, you will need BIOS 4.20. We would recommend checking with your motherboard distributor to see if the BIOS on the motherboard is updated. With thanks, ASRock TSD With thanks, ASRock TSD
