Updating bios with Ryzen 3000 Series Processor

[Fuzzyy]

Hello everyone,

So I bought ASUS TUF B450 PLUS Gaming Mobo for a great deal. I am going to build a new system with Ryzen 5 3600 processor. The thing is when I put the processor in, will I have access to the bios? I know you need to update b450 mobos bios before you can use it with new processors. I know some boards have bios flashback, but i don't think that mine does. So Is there any way will this work? Do I have to bring it back to the place i bought it and ask them for the bios update?

Yes, unless you know someone that has a first/second gen CPU you could borrow to update the bios yourself.

Just a fast check in Asus web site and. It depend on the bios version.

I am not sure how you can check the Bios without a CPU.  So you may have to go back to store and ask them for the bios  number.

 

Or just ask them to do a Bios update for a small fee

That is great, that is what you want in a retailer. Why don't you let us know who it is unless that isn't allowed here?

 

I think micro center offered to update mine but I told them it was ok I had an old cpu I could use to do it. Well the board had flashback anyway. They said they go through their boards and update them anyway in batches but hadn't done that one yet.

It is a large computer shop in Turkey. I don't think you will buy from there because they don't ship internationally. Its called Vatan Computer.

No, I won't be buying from Turkey lol. I just thought it would be nice to give them a shoutout incase anyone from that area sees this post. I think supporting brick and mortar shops is a good idea since we have so few of them now.
