It does not have the ability to upgrade the BIOS without the CPU. Looking on the back you'll notice there's no USB dedicated to BIOS flashing which is unfortunate considering the number of USBs available on this board. Also, there's no way to knowing which BIOS will be installed when you receive the item. Some have reported having the latest installed with stickers on the box stating "Ready for Ryzen 5000 series" while others are not. Truly a great ITX board with a crippling flaw given recent CPU release from AMD. Hope this helps.
