Updating bios without cpu

[kungsam475]

Can I update Asus prime z370a without a cpu?
If yes how?

No, you can't.

What are you trying to accomplish by updating the BIOS.

I've heard of a few MBs not requiring CPUs for BIOS updates, but, I do not think this is one of them...

negative....

CPU-less bios/uefi updating is usually reserved for a handful of the highest end boards.

So I want to install a 9600k on my prime z370a
But I think I need to update bios
So I must buy a 8gen cpu?

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Yes.

What bios does the board have now ?
