How to Flash an MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk BIOS with No CPU

The MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk is a mid-range B550 motherboard that is a worthy successor to the popular MSI B450 Tomahawk and MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX. In this video I show you how to use the BIOS flash back feature to flash the BIOS with no CPU installed.

This is useful if you have a new AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPU that does not work with your current BIOS version. This allows you to update the BIOS without having to temporarily install an older CPU.
