I'm still focusing on getting everything sorted for my new build. I need to decide which of the four main approaches to BIOS updates is best for my ASUS Tuf Gaming X570-Pro Wifi ii. I've been thinking about updating the BIOS before installing Windows 11, and I'm considering several options: using EZ Flash via a USB drive (method A), connecting directly to the internet in the BIOS (method B), updating with AI Suite after OS installation (method C), or using the BIOS flashback button (method D).

Option D is the best choice. It's simple, quick, and secure. This has been my approach with more than 10 ASUS boards so far—no issues at all. Just use EZ Flash via the BIOS USB on the back using the button. Avoid updating the BIOS through Windows software if possible. I've also tried option B, updating the BIOS online on some ASUS boards, and it worked perfectly too. Personally, I prefer option D the most. The D and B options are solid, but A and D will be quite similar.

I've noticed others suggest avoiding the OS method, so I'll steer clear of it. It's fascinating that the BIOS internet feature functions well; I'm curious about how often people actually use it, and it seems Asus may downplay that option in their documentation.

I tried the internet BIOS on my older board which didn’t include the EZ FLASH BIOS option at the back (9900k - z370 ASUS model). I’ve only used the EZ flash button on newer boards that support it—it’s straightforward and secure.

I've relied on OS-based BIOS flashing without any problems, but EZ flash or similar options come in a close second. The top choice remains temporarily connecting a compatible CPU while updating the BIOS.
