FlashMyBoard - Automated BIOS Update Tracking & Notification System

[flashmyboard]

Hi TPU community,

I wanted to share a free tool I built called FlashMyboard.com that helps track and notify you about motherboard BIOS updates. I created this because I wanted a way to get notified when new BIOS versions were released for my motherboard that could improve performance or stability.

Platform Support:

• AMD: All AM4/AM5 platforms
• Intel: 600/700/800 series chipsets
• Vendors: ASUS, MSI, ASRock, Gigabyte, Biostar

Core Features:

• Automated BIOS version tracking
• AGESA version tracking for AMD platforms
• Microcode version tracking for Intel platforms
• Detailed changelog aggregation
• Performance impact documentation
• Email notifications (optional, per-board basis)

Technical Implementation:

• Direct manufacturer download links
• Zero tracking scripts
• Minimal data collection (email only if opted-in)

The system tracks important updates like:

• AMD AGESA updates (e.g., 1.2.0.2 for AM5 inter-core latency improvements)
• Intel microcode revisions (e.g., 0x129 for 14th gen optimization)
• Security patches and stability fixes
• Performance enhancement releases

I'm particularly interested in feedback from the TPU community regarding additional technical features or data points you'd find valuable. The project is actively maintained, and I'm regularly implementing improvements based on user feedback.

Check it out: FlashMyBoard.com

Technically it's self-promotion, from a new user with zero history at TPU. But we will allow it. It's non-commercial and the purpose aligns very well with our audience.

I assume you are scraping the relevant pages at mobo mfgrs?
Thought about serving the files from your site, so they are preserved in case a vendor removes/goes out of business?

Very nice, clean, simple site - in an era where the web is constantly becoming more and more cluttered with crap, this minimalism is a breathe of fresh air. Well done!

In terms of functionality, I would personall like to see support for HEDT boards e.g. Threadripper/TRX40.

Thanks for approving the post! Yes, I have system that gets the latest information from each of the motherboard manufacturers multiple times a day. I certainly could serve the files from the site, but I think there is some benefit to being able to verify that the BIOS is coming straight from the manufacturer. That said, I will look into archiving them offline so that if the need arises in the future I can put them up.

Adding HEDT would be a simple affair, especially since there are <50 motherboards to support all of Threadripper.

I'm curious, what's the software stack you are using?

 

[flashmyboard]

It's a react frontend, a flask API backend, and then python for a number of backend services. Resulted in a pretty snappy front-end with no page loads, and a lightweight API. Anything more would have felt a bit overkill.

Looks like a great resource, especially amidst the often obtuse, clunky site UI's of vendors, when trying to get at a BIOS update or changelog.

My concern was if this could be a disguised email->motherboard data harvest, but per the privacy policy, it appears this is not the case. Props!
