MSI P45 Neo-F Bios Questions

Hey guys;


I'm trying to find an updated Bios for my Motherboard (MSI P45 Neo-F), and I will admit it's not something I've done before and with all the ineherent risks I am somewhat reluctant!


Couple of questions to help me out/through this.

1. How would I be able to tell what version of Bios I have got already?

2. Could someone point me in the right direction for a source of Bios? - I've had a look on MSI's website and all I can seem to see are bios' for the P45 Neo, P45D3 Neo-F, P45 Neo3-F, etc. but not the specific combo I have: MSI P45 Neo-F (Linky)

3. Finally; Anyone got a idiots walkthrough for Bios Flashing? Lots of experience of building/working with computers, but not with this particular procedure!


Thanks for all your time guys!

current bios flashes on the screen when you boot up

verify the mb model number using cpuid (will show bios version to)

why are you reflashing, don't even bother if you don't have a good reason.

if are you having overheating problems post a screenshot of cupid on the motherboard tab and i will see what i can find for you

if you are not overheating leave well enough alone, you don't' want to reflash unless you have to.
