Hi all,
I am building a new gaming pc.
Spec,
Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2.0. AMD 8350fx. 2 x crucial ssd mx 100. 1 x Seagate baracuda 500 hd. 2 x 4gb Kingston Hyper Beast 1600 DDR3. POWER Supply 1000 RM Corsair. Corsair water cooling block. Radeon R9 270 8gb. Asus xonar D2 7.1.
That's the parts, currently in the process again, however the 1st attempt all lights fans came on, yet black monitor. Upon reading the forums my BIOS needs flashing, currently rev 1.01 version. Can you please point me in the direction to update, via usb flash utility on the board.
Many thanks
Ivory

The R2.0 board natively supports the 8320/50 out of the box, you shouldn't need a bios update.

Grab the latest bios, or which ever version you wish to use.
Grab the bios renamer tool.
Use the bios renamer tool to rename the bios file then place it on the usb.
Carefully read the instructions on how to update via usb flashback.
