How do I update my BIOS?
Asus logo

Asus was founded in Taipei (Taiwan) in 1989 as a motherboard manufacturer and is now the number one manufacturer of motherboards in the world, commanding almost a 40% market share of the motherboard business. Over 420 million motherboards have been sold since 1989.

ASUS produces motherboards for Intel and AMD CPUs.

ASUS takes its name from Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek mythology that symbolizes wisdom and knowledge.

ASUS has a very good reputation qua BIOS Update support of their motherboards.

  1. You can identify your Asus motherboard using the BIOS ID which is displayed on most computers at bootup. Per BIOS vendor (AMI, Award, Phoenix, ...) we have a seperate tab of motherboard BIOS Identifications.
  2. In the Website Links section we provide official and unofficial links to find free Asus BIOS upgrades
