    Question What is the 9-pin header above the top PCIe x16 slot?

    Hi,

    Yesterday when I was cleaning my computer, I noticed a 9-pin header above the PCIe x16 slot. I checked my paper manual, and the downloadable online one, but neither of them mentioned it. Searching the web yielded no results either.

    Does anyone know what it is?

    It's for factory BIOS flashing.

    Now, someone figure out how it works. Probably better than using a test clip.

    So that means you're volunteering?

    Pin#1 - NC
    Pin#2 - WP#
    Pin#3 - VCC
    Pin#4 - GND
    Pin#5 - CS#
    Pin#6 - CLK
    Pin#7 - MISO
    Pin#8 - MOSI
    Pin#9 - HOLD#

    Pin pitch 2.00mm. Note that VCC is 1.8V on AM4. Make sure standby power is off before applying external VCC. I strongly recommend using USB BIOS Flashback over external tools if available.

    Cool info, thanx!

    Looks like you could plug a part programmer (something like CH341 or EM100-Pro) directly into motherboard.

    Although I agree with preferring software flash, USB Flashback, or swapping in a programmed BIOS chip, in that order. Still, always nice to have another interface and another recovery option when looking at bricked firmware, lol.
