Easy update for instant compatibility with new 5th-generation Intel Core processors

ASUS 9 Series motherboards that include the ASUS USB BIOS Flashback feature enable users to easily apply the UEFI BIOS updates. The tool downloads the latest BIOS to a USB flash drive, enabling you to update the ASUS UEFI BIOS quickly and safely. The motherboard does not even need to have a CPU or DRAM modules in place; you can just connect the power supply, plug in the USB drive, press the USB BIOS Flashback or Reset button and then sit back and wait for it to finish.

For other ASUS 9 Series motherboards, the necessary UEFI BIOS update takes just one click in an easy-to-use Windows-based BIOS updater application, which can be downloaded for free from the ASUS website.

The following ASUS 9 Series motherboards can be updated for compatibility with the latest Intel CPUs:
