This is from the Manuals section of the ASUS site for your motherboard.
Why they put it there... who knows.







I found these directions for obtaining the BIOS Converter... but I can't find any "BIOS Utilities".
You may have to contact ASUS tech support, or "chat" with them, here... P9X79 - Support

Yes I have just figured it out Now I need to find a way to convert a CAP file to a ROM file any Ideas?

LOL. I have an ASUS x570 AMD board, and I have to use a Renamer tool to convert a ROM file into a CAP file, before flashing the BIOS.

I would get into a Chat with tech support. "Guessing" about a BIOS update is never a wise move.
I've been going to ASUS websites for almost 20 years. I use only ASUS motherboards.
And I couldn't find the Converter Utility.

Ask tech support. Here's the same number I have in my phone for ASUS motherboard tech support...

I called them and because I did not have the serial number they could not help me is there a way to get that without uninstalling the MB ?

It should be on the back of the motherboard. Or the motherboard box.

I found the file and upgraded my BIOS to take CAP ,I would like to upload it to this site in case someone else might need it where would i put it?

Hi nightowl17,
Any chance you can post a link to the file you found or post it on dropbox or somewhere and provide a link?
I have the same problem and can't overclock my cpu like I have for years on Win 7 Pro.
Plus there's the 'can't find USB device' error every time I boot, which relates to the BIOS.
ASUS tech has been unhelpful for this.
Thanx...Chris
