I've got a friend who won the board back in June but didn't have the money for a CPU until now.

We're planning to use a 2600x, but the site where I'm buying says the BIOS needs to be updated.

 

I'm not familiar with AMD, but on Intel you can usually post and then update the BIOS then.

Will I need a 1st gen CPU to update the BIOS?

You will need 1st gen Ryzen to flash the bios. It won't work with Gen 1 without it.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

Well, it might cause Ryzen chips are backwards compatible, but it just depends on if the bios was updated when he purchased it
