The USB BIOS update is proceeding very slowly.
I changed my motherboard BIOS via USB (without the CPU) and left it running overnight. I’m concerned the board might fail if I disconnect the USB later. Can I stop the ongoing BIOS update safely? I’m not confident about my actions so far.
The board is easily recognizable through a visible LED indicator, either flashing or steady, which signals its functionality.
It's an MSI MPG X570S with Wi-Fi enabled. I changed the BIOS to support a Ryzen 7 5700X. It keeps flashing. I left it on overnight. Updated on February 2, 2023 by BruhMyChips Missing information.
It keeps flashing, making it hard to tell if it worked or not.
According to @Kilrah, a BIOS update merely requires a short time. If it remains in the "updating" state, it likely didn't complete successfully.
Possibly but many of the newer AMD boards support updates without a CPU installed. Your board seems to be relatively new, so it should handle the update fine. Check the manual to confirm if a specific USB port is needed at the back. As mentioned, I have this unit and it’s white. If you already have the CPU installed, just go to BIOS, select the drive, and updates will work properly. I’m a bit puzzled though—since the X570S came out after the 5700X, the S series was the improved line, and those boards eliminated the small chipset fans that caused noise complaints?
