Few weeks back I flashed this same version of Bios on my MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX using USB BIOS Flash Back feature. You can flash the Bios by keeping the peripherals attached to board. It will work fine. I flashed keeping my CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, HDD and Coolers on board as well as keeping my wireless dongles for keyboard and mouse attached to the back USB ports and also the Ethernet jack.

A few things doesn't make sense. Why rename a file you can't view on a screen? A bois flash doesn't care about the name, that's just there for the end user. Also, you flashed the bios not knowing if the original flash supported the CPU or not, yet if your flash didn't work you wouldn't get post, therefore not knowing if it was CPU, a bad flash or a bad board... Lol. You would not catch me flashing a bios like this, I wanna know what the hecks going on under the hood during a flash. Also, why not just go ahead install the CPU before the flash? The original flash may have worked, then updating the bios wouldn't have been so questionable. I'm sure MSI has a list of supported CPUs for specific bios flashes... most suppliers do.

As an owner of an MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, it's nice to have this feature if ever needed. I've always had a compatible CPU available so never needed it, so it's nice to see someone test it's merit. I'm unsure if my board has an LED to indicate flashing like your Tomahawk MAX does here, so it'd be good form to use a USB stick that has an activity LED if that's not the case. Again my dumbass cannot tell what's generating that orange activity LED in your video. Is that your USB drive or is that LED on the board where I cannot see it from here? LOL @ "ass clenching time". You said it... every time I flash my UEFI I expect the power to fail. I made a video disagreeing with a gentlemen who claimed swapping out a CPU for a new CPU in the mainboard is not practical. In that video I explain how having a more modern and refined memory controller (which your 3100 here possesses compared to my Ryzen 5 2600) can give your dated chipset some more pep should your board cooperate. So you've added an actual 666mhz (1333 effective) in frequency in your memory speed along with other benefits from the new CPU. Thank you for making this video and proving EXACTLY what I was saying!!

@@mikesunboxing I saw that and was surprised that a person who produces content of your caliber would be watching my incoherent babbling and leave a positive comment. Thank you for that. While I try not to name call, he does it regularly. Like you said, they don't know any better. It's like a cult over there and after being reeled in by useful content, I'm now just watching for the sheer amusement of so many inaccurate assertions on his part. Thanks for all that great Arctic content on your channel. I love the bang for buck of their stuff and you cover it well! Yes the LED looks like it's reflecting off the IO EMI shield for those connectors. You and your snazzy MAX board (me with 16mb BIOS chip and Lite BIOS 😥).
