Question about Tier 2 Build Specifics

RJN

Hi!

I was wondering about MC's Tier 2 builds - will MC update the bios for the Motherboard and Video Cards when assembling a new PC?

The reason I ask is because some 3080Ti users are reporting the inability to see the BIOS on certain DisplayPort monitors without a vBios Update:

Thanks for the feedback!

We do not typically flash the VBIOS for GPUs. This is something that would need to be answered at the service desk in-store. It would depend on the store location and the technicians themselves

Got it - ok, quick follow up - Will the Motherboard BIOS be updated?

For example:

The Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor with BIOS version 2606. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, upgrading the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU.

Thanks again for the feedback.

So with the tier 2 build, they install Windows, all drivers, and should be able to assist you with BIOS if needed. Details about the service: https://www.microcenter.com/product/607208/micro-center-custom-pc-building-service---tier-2
