B450 AUROUS ELITE R5 3600 COMBO

[renchy_is_sketchy]

Is the combo mentioned in the title compatible? If not then what mbu should i choose? pcpartpicker says that it might need a bios update on any b450 mbu i put paired with the 3600 but idk.

Need answers ASAP. Thanks.

any msi b450 MAX board will do

Pcpartpicker will always tell you a B450 board will need an update, even if the model specifically was made to support 3rd gen

 

This includes any of the MSI max boards, and the Asrock B450M/AC is a new motherboard SKU so all of its models are guaranteed to support 3rd gen.

Stupid question , but just to clarify a B450M-PRO-VDH-MAX will do right?

if there isn't a big price difference, the tomahawk, gaming plus and -a pro are better than the pro vdh one

That's a shite of motherboard (very weak VRM), get A-PRO, Gaming Plus or Tomahawk. There are some reports that some other B450 boards ship with new BIOS version too (like Gigabyte Elite you're asking about and ASRock Pro4) but you can't be sure, you could however try to update BIOS yourself with AMD loan boot kit or in some physical PC parts store (like Microcenter).

Yea the a pro variant is looking better now, with not that big of a price difference.

I hope i dont have to update the BIOS but if i have to ill just go to a nearby computer store and see what they can do , or just borrow an older gen.

Thanks for the info
