B45O PRO

monyy47 · September 22, 2019

Hello guys, I was wondering if the AORUS B450 Pro is compatible with 3rd gen ryzen, will I need to update the bios and will I need to buy another cpu just to update it if necessary? And does the mobo come with an I/O shield?

You probably will have to, if you do have to then AMD will ship you a free boot kit if you provide proof of purchase. Or you can ask the retailer to have he BIOS updated before they send it to you.

Every motherboard you buy new has a I/O shield, whether it's built in or a separate piece.

It's compatible on version F40 and higher of the BIOS.

Only way to know for sure what you're buying is good, is by seeing if there is a 'Ryzen 3000 ready' sticker on it.

Doesn't look like there is a way to update the BIOS without a usable chip inside it, you could look into the BIOS update kit AMD has through their RMA or ask a local store.

This motherboard has a built in IO shield, no seperate piece of metal.
