i dl'd the bios i need

i put on flashdrive - > open bios -> try to update via fd

“Selected file is not a proper bios”

what am i doing wrong?

doing this bc my new ram ( 4stick 16gb ddr4 3600mhz corsair vengeance ) isn't compatible rn somehow even tho multiple people use this ram with my mobo ( asus tuf x570 wifi ) and my cpu ( ryzen 9 3900x ) or worse

i think this is caused by bios not being up to date maybe someone can weigh in on this also?


e: think installing the same ram but 3200 mhz will just work? guess im gonna have to go return and get diff ram

Look at bios version history notes and see if there are any warnings or disclaimers, I know this is not the same board maker but for example Gigabyte required you to stepwise upgrade to a certain version before newer versions could be installed, not allowing just one giant leap from old to new bios.
