B450 tomahawk

No one buy the b450 tomahwak if your planning on using ryzen 3000 msi legit said in a livestream, this is not my info someone else on reddit:

 

 

 

• B450 Tomahawk will stay on GSI Lite and will not recieve the Click Bios 5 again, at least for Ryzen 3000 Series and upcoming. Users of 1000/2000 Series should stay on their BIOS.

• GSI Lite BIOS will not going to have OC profiles again. Update: They are looking into it. No promise. Quote: " ***MSI Gaming:*** just checking some bios release note, OC Profiles might be back in future GSE-Lite bioses "

• MSI is *now* aware of the problems regarding the Tomahawk and CPU Debug light issues and will investigate that problem. They hopefully have some new Infos next week, but no promise.

• "Old" B450 MB (including Tomahawk) will have Ryzen support until 2020 (?)

• If you just bought any B450 Board, you should return it and buy a MAX board instead. Its more "futureproof" for upcoming BIOS updates and its no hassle with Ryzen 3000 Series. (Official statement on livestream from MSI, wow.) Timestamp on stream: 1:40:29, you can watch it here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_elcRHeVjI

• After i asked this question: "Will there be an option to RMA an not working B450 Tomahawk and recieve an B450 Tomahawk MAX (maybe with additional charge) ?" They closed the stream. Quote: " ***MSI Gaming:*** Sorry it seems the stream dropped, anyway we are out fixing your Tomahawk issues. thanks for joining this was the last topic anyway. Thanks for joining and see you next week, hope to have an update on Tomahawk... no promise."

EDIT/ Thanks for Silver guys. Im just trying to get some things rolling for us. Appreciate it!

EDIT// Since many of Ryzen 1000/2000 Series Users are asking if anything changes for them: No!
Just stay on your latest BIOS (v16/v17) and you'll be fine!

 

Im screwed because my mobo return date and cpu return date is out so im sad

update they said there looking into it

I don't see anywhere in there where it says they are not going to release another bios update that might fix some issues. It pretty much just says they are staying with the "lite" bios version and not expect any of the features you lost like profiles to come back. This makes sense because they had to switch to the "lite" bios version because of the bios chip size on the b450 boards. The bios for the 3000 series cpus is larger and it wouldn't fit, especially with the flashy bios version they were currently using. So in order to keep compatibility with the new cpus they lightened the bios by getting rid of all the of the fancy graphics and some features. I think other companies did the same thing.

 

Personally since mine only cost 65 bucks after the cpu bundle discount I am going to use it until it won't work anymore. If and when that happens I will probably get a x570 auros elite for 200 bucks. Mine works though and I didn't have any issues with it lol. If I was having the problems others were having it would have went back in the box and I would have returned it and got something different. Even the x570 boards are having issues and we will probably see a few bios revisions get released withing the next few months.
