Motherboard update

[pete123edgar]

Hi guys,
So I just completed my pc build, this is my first time, anyway, sorry for the noob question, I checked up on asus official website to update my motherboard, but then there are so many things, bios,firmware, etc, my question is, if I were to download all into my usb, how would I update it? I read the guide, but still could not understand. Much help appreciated.

If you have the motherboard cd, use it if you don't feel comfortable using a usb drive; I download the updates to my documents file and unzip them if needed before installing.

the bios updates you dont need them all. boot into your bios and read the bios rev that on the first screen. write it down then reboot and log back into the vendor mb download page. look at the rev listing for the bios updates. if you have the first bios say 0906 and there up to bios 3xxx. just read each bios update info..most time you can flash a bios from 0906 to the 3xxx by downloading the last bios file onto a usb stick and using the mb bios updater. some of the asus mb went from .rom file to .cap and there a cross over bios file.
