b450 no qflash option in bios?

[Aseliot]

 

Hi, I don't have the qflash option in my bios?

 

I want to update the bios version from F3 to F60h

Specs:
B450 AORUS PRO-CF
AMD Ryzen 7 1700
16 GB GSkill @ 3600

If you can boot to bios and OS, than you don't need qflash.

Oh eh, then maybe you can fill me in how this is supposed to work because when I search on how to update it I only read about using qflash.

 

I downloaded the files and it has this efiflash.exe in it and a bat with contents:
Efiflash B450APRO.60h

 

But running the efiflash.exe gives me "unsuported 16-bit application" and also didn't do much via cmd?

Maybe I am missing something obvious here..

And how did you come up with that? Spirits told you? 

OP: I am also running a B450 gigabyte board and BIOS update is in the MIT tab, if you somehow dont have that you can always use @Bios utility.

That one you run in CMD. No need to worry about that.

 

You can update the bios with 2 method:

1. In windoes, With @bios utility, install this first (download in the utility section) run it and select the bios image.

2. At boot, prepare the bios image in a flash drive, boot your pc, press the bios update button (it should be displayed in the boot screen). And follow the instructions.

Alright I've updated it already.

 

Appears the start screen not only shows BIOS - DEL but also QFLASH - END.

So just had to press end to get into qflash.

 

Then I got some problems with my USB but formatted it to FAT32 and dragged files into the root (instead of in a folder) and got the error that the F60h BIOS image was invalid?
So I tried the F60f version and it appears to have worked.
