Motherboard BIOS update for AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors
Motherboard BIOS update for AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors
- From GIGABYTE’s website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your motherboard model from its product page.
- Uncompress the downloaded BIOS file, save it to your USB flash drive, and rename it to GIGABYTE.bin. Note: The USB flash drive must use the FAT32/16 file system.
- Insert the USB flash drive into the white USB port or BIOS Q Flash port on the back panel of your motherboard (USB port may not be labelled on all models, checking the user manual is recommended)
- Connect the power cables to the CPU 8 Pin power connector (connect either one if there are two) and mainboard 24 Pin power connector.
- Press the Q-Flash Plus button (location may vary by model) and the system will automatically search and match the BIOS file in the USB flash drive on the white USB port. The QFLED and the Q-Flash Plus button on the rear panel will flash during the BIOS matching and flashing process. Wait for 2-3 minutes and the QFLED will stop flashing when the BIOS flashing is complete.
Unthrottled performance is by the advanced thermal solution which including Fins-Array Heatsink, Direct Touch Heatpipe, Thermal Guards, and Thermal Baseplate. B550 motherboards are cool on MOSFETs and M.2 SSDs even on full loading. It provides lower temperatures for enthusiasts, overclockers and professional gamers.
Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion 2.0 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard.

Bios Flash was easy to setup and install for my Ryzen 9 5950x, and has been working very well.
Error codes are nice to see, but could use a bit more clarity to what is happening in it.
Runs well, and loving it all

Like:
Performance, performance, performance. The Mellanox Ethernet card can sustain 7 to 8 gigabits per second between motherboard and Network Storage as measured with Iperf3. Unable to determine thunderbolt performance but moving large files between motherboard and network storage appears much faster than the 10GB interface.
Dislike
The button battery is physically located directly underneath the video card next to the rear release for the card connector. With the video card installed it is impossible to access the video card rear release.
If your NVMe drive has an OEM heat spreader like the Corsair MP600 it can only be positioned in the CPU (C:\) position. In any of the other two NVMe positions I found interference problems at the PCIEX4 1 & 2 positions using the MP600 with my installed hardware.
As seen in the video, as soon as the power supply is turned on, the board’s RGB gives a faint flick before shutting off instantly. PSU is not the issue, as other PSU’s failed to power it on and other boards booted fine with the same PSU.
Many reviews here are correct in saying to not buy this paperweight. Heard from other reviews here among the forums and other site reviews that even with a “working” board, the dual bios boot causes the board to decide to not power on randomly until the CMOS battery is taken out and put back in after a few hours. That is even more irritating than it sounds considering the CMOS battery is oh-so-conveniently located under the GPU.
Gigabyte, fix your product quality issues or don’t offer this board at all. These issues are borderline scammy and have seemingly been an issue since the beginning of B550’s release.
