Updating MoBo BIOS?

[What's a GPU?]

So I have a Asus Maximus VI Hero and I believe I have the 1301 BIOS version, I lost my flash drive so I don't currently have that for use. I want to update my BIOS so I can work on some more fine tuning of my overclock. How can I/is it possible to update without a flash drive? If so is it worth it to do it now or should I wait until I get a new flash drive?

You can but the BIOS file into the root of a HDD/SSD and EZ Flash should be able to pick it up.

You just put the BIOS file into the root of a drive, restart and boot into the BIOS, navigate to EZ Flash and chose the right drive and file.

How do I put a file in the root of the drive?

You just put it onto the drive. Don't put it into a folder or anything. 

It's location should be C:\ (any drive letter will do, I just used C as an example)

Don't think it would work. EFI only supports FAT.

OP, what you can do is make a small FAT32 partition of your hard drive and put the BIOS there.

I have a picture of the screen where I select the file, when I click the one above the highlighted one in the picture it says file can't be read

Do I have to create a new partition for that?

Well, you don't have a flash drive, so yes. Open Disk Management and take about 2GB (2048MB) off your C:\ drive, create a new volume and format it as FAT32.

Okay I got it, so I just put the cap file in there and it will be able to recognize that in the easy updater?

Yep.

Yep.

Awesome it worked, thank you

No problem. Now you can just delete the FAT32 partition and extend your C back to original size.
