Ok folks, on n00bs post, finished build, someone gave a link from DFI that shows how to use winflash to update your bios. I was wondering, would that procedure be the same for an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard? Perhaps I should google it and just see ::HAHA::​

Go to MSI's website. WinFlash isn't recommended as it will sometimes go wrong, the best way is to use a floppy drive.

I hate not having a floppy drive for flashing stuff. I refuse to put one in though :p

I might get a USB drive though, never thought of that.
