Av been tasked with putting together a parts list for my auntie for my cousins crimbo gift, was just wondering if the ASRock - AB350M Pro4 needs a bios update for the Ryzen 2200G?

If so then can some micro atx boards that don't need an update please be suggested.

Most B350 boards these days shouldn't need a BIOS update, but if you end up needing one, AMD will send you a free boot kit with their cheapest CPU in order for you to do so. If you want a guaranteed out of box success, get a B450 board instead.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
