How do I flash BIOS (Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge CPU)?
Hi!
I have a Gateway FX-6860 computer with an H67 Express chipset motherboard and I would like to upgrade my CPU.
I currently have a Sandy Bridge i7-2600 and I would like to buy an Intel Core i7-3770 but I'm not sure how to safely update my BIOS.
Gateway does provide a BIOS update for Ivy Bridge cpus but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Can I just flash the bios in Windows and switch cpus once the system is off? Is it safe to do that?
Thanks for your time and have a nice day!
