I have a B450M Pro4 with the 1.6 bios. There is v2 bios on the website (since Dec). The network flash from within the bios gui says there is no update available. I don't want to use a USB flash drive just for this so has anyone used the network flash? Does anyone know why it might think there is nothing new? ------------- ASRock B450M Pro4 16 GB DDR4, 500 watt PS, AMD Ryzen-5 5600, NVidia GTX-1050, 5.70 BIOS |

Just a few things here: - it's actually the safest way to flash BIOS from USB - changelogs for these BIOS are really generic and often there are many other things that have been fixed - always clear CMOS before and after a BIOS flash; remember to reboot after each clearing |

| I've noticed that ASRock's built-in firmware update tool is very unreliable and rarely connects to find updates, it occasionally works for me but I have to use the usb update process at least 90% of the time unfortunately. |

They should make it reliable, making a dos usb drive just for this is inconvenient. ------------- ASRock B450M Pro4 16 GB DDR4, 500 watt PS, AMD Ryzen-5 5600, NVidia GTX-1050, 5.70 BIOS |

I upgraded the BIOS via USB. The Network Flash option is gone. ------------- ASRock B450M Pro4 16 GB DDR4, 500 watt PS, AMD Ryzen-5 5600, NVidia GTX-1050, 5.70 BIOS |

| Yes, they know how bad it was, so they removed it. |
