With the coming of the new Intel 7th Gen processors, i wanted to put one in my new computer that i was in the middle of building. But i've read that to do so, you need to update your bios so your motherboard is able to support it. Because of certain circumstances, I do not want to get a new motherboard, and I currently do not have a 1151 Processor that i can put in to update the bios that way.
So the question is, How do i update my motherboard's BIOS without the need to have a processor in it. I've done a bit of research, and i've read that my motherboard, the MSI Z170a XPower Gaming Titanium Edition, has a feature called BIOS Flashback+ , which is similar to Gigabyte's Q-Flash Plus. I wanted to know, in detailed steps, how to use that feature.
Upon reading and researching, i also saw that some parts are required and I've also read they aren't but just in case this is what i have so far, in terms of parts for the computer i wanted to update:
Motherboard : MSI Z170a XPower Gaming Titanium Edition
RAM : 16Gb G.Skill TridentZ RGB
PSU : EVGA SuperNova G2 650W
GPU : ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1080
Cooling System : Didn't think it was necessary
Upon thinking about it, I may need to get a HDD or SDD, i don't really know. Either way i don't have one just yet.
So to sum it all up, how do i use BIOS Flashback+, without a CPU? Do i need any parts, like a HDD or SDD? How do i perform each step properly,so i do not make a mistake? Thank you in-advance for helping me solve my struggles, and getting me through my incompetence.
