I had bought the Asus Tuf b360 gaming plus because I wanted to upgrade from my i5 7600k for a more powerful 8600k, but in my local store because of discounts I discovered the price of the i5 9600k had gone down about 90 usd so I simply bought it.
After setting everything up, I noticed no beep, boot, and post, insta panicked and did basic troubleshooting to get an idea of what to do.

Changed Ram to different slots, unplugged all pins and replugged them and after 2 hours got to the conclusion that the Bios installed on the Mobo is only 8th gen compatible and it requires an update to work with 9th gen processors.

Is there any way I can update the Bios without an 8th gen processor? or am I gonna have to buy a cheap celereon or pentium to get the thing working?

Thanks in advance my friends!

So where is your 7600K?
Or you can buy a chip programming device but it is not chieap at all.And it's very difficult and troublesome. LOL
So the easiest way is to take your motherboard to the physical store. Just borrow a CPU to help you brush BIOS.

Still have my 7600k, just not compatible with the MoBo, managed to get a friend to lend me his i5 8600 so I'm going to drive out to his place.
