Description
Update to the basic input/output system (BIOS) for AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPUs
You may find the product page for your particular model of the motherboard on the GIGABYTE website, where you can also download the most recent BIOS update file in compressed form.
- After downloading the BIOS file, you will need to uncompress it, then save it to your USB flash drive and rename it to GIGABYTE.bin. Please take note that the file system on the USB flash drive must be FAT32/16.
- Put the USB flash drive into the white USB port or the BIOS Q Flash port on the back panel of your motherboard (the USB port may not be labeled on all models; it is recommended that you review the user manual for more assistance in locating it).
- Connect the power cables to the mainboard’s 24 Pin power connector as well as the CPU’s 8 Pin power connection (connect either of them if there are two).
- If you press the Q-Flash Plus button, the system will automatically seek for and match the BIOS file that is stored on the USB flash drive that is connected to the white USB port.
- The location of this button can vary depending on the model. During the process of matching and flashing the BIOS, both the QFLED and the Q-Flash Plus button, which are located on the rear panel, will flash. When the BIOS flashing process is finished, which should take about two to three minutes, the QFLED will cease blinking.
The GIGABYTE UD series of motherboards utilize a 5+3 phases pure digital PWM + Low RDS(on) MOSFETs design to support the 3rd Generation of AMD Ryzen CPUs. This design offers incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard’s most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components, as well as delivering enhanced system performance and ultimate hardware scalability. GIGABYTE Motherboards allow customers to experience connectivity for M.2 SSD devices in either NVMe mode or SATA mode, thanks to the presence of NVMe PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 and PCIe 3.0 x2 M.2 ports onboard. The design of the twin M.2 connectors provides a perfect storage option while also allowing RAID modes. The maximum data transfer speed that can be achieved with this configuration is 64 Gb/s.
The Realtek 8118 LAN is a high-performance and user-friendly network chip designed specifically for gamers. It has automated bandwidth allocation to guarantee that the game or application receives the greatest network priority possible. It is able to give customers the most complete functionality, as well as the quickest and most seamless experience possible when using the Internet. In addition to being backward compatible with HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4, HDMI 2.1 has a bandwidth of 48 Gb/s, which is twice as much as the bandwidth provided by the previous generation. This opens up the possibility for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio (the ratio in which the vast majority of movies are shot), support for Full HDR, and HDCP 2.3, with the goal of providing viewers with the greatest possible visual experience.
