Because BIOS ashing is potentially risky, please do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS ashing may
result in system malfunction.
1-1 Updating the BIOS with the Q-Flash Utility
A. Before You Begin
1. From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update le that matches your motherboard
model.
2. Extract the le and save the new BIOS le (e.g. X470AORUSGAMING5WIFI.F1) to your USB ash drive, or
hard drive. Note: The USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le system.
3. Restart the system. During the POST, press the <End> key to enter Q-Flash. Note: You can access Q-Flash
by either pressing the <End> key during the POST or click the Q-Flash icon (or press the <F8> key) in BIOS
Setup. However, if the BIOS update le is saved to a hard drive in RAID/AHCI mode or a hard drive attached
to an independent SATA controller, use the <End> key during the POST to access Q-Flash.
BIOS Update Utilities
GIGABYTE motherboards provide two unique BIOS update tools, Q-Flash
™
and @BIOS
™
. GIGABYTE Q-Flash
and @BIOS are easy-to-use and allow you to update the BIOS without the need to enter MS-DOS mode.
Additionally, this motherboard features the DualBIOS
™
design and supports Q-Flash Plus, providing multiple
protection for the safety and stability of your computer.
What is DualBIOS
™
?
Motherboards that support DualBIOS have two BIOS onboard, a main BIOS and a backup BIOS. Normally, the
system works on the main BIOS. However, if the main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the backup BIOS will
take over on the next system boot to ensure normal system operation. For the sake of system safety, users
cannot update the backup BIOS manually.
What is Q-Flash Plus?
Q-Flash Plus is a new solution derived from DualBIOS
™
. When both the main and backup BIOS fail during
system boot, Q-Flash Plus will be automatically launched and then recover BIOS data from the USB ash drive
connected to a specic USB port.
What is Q-Flash
™
?
With Q-Flash you can update the system BIOS without having to enter operating systems like MS-DOS or
Window rst. Embedded in the BIOS, the Q-Flash tool frees you from the hassles of going through complicated
BIOS ashing process.
What is @BIOS
™
?
@BIOS allows you to update the system BIOS while in the Windows environment. @BIOS will download the
latest BIOS le from the nearest @BIOS server site and update the BIOS.
