After installing AI Suite, open the application from your desktop or start menu. Once AI Suite is launched, navigate to the “Tool” section, and select “Update BIOS.” This will launch the BIOS updating tool within AI Suite.
Step 3: Check for BIOS Update
Once the BIOS updating tool is open, AI Suite will automatically check for any available BIOS updates for your motherboard. If a new BIOS version is available, it will be displayed with a prompt to update.
