ASUS ROG Strix B450-F bios?

[Lol_Someoneactually]

hi there i just ordered the ASUS ROG Strix B450-F https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FKTZC4M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

for a 3700x, a lot of pc builds on youtube say its a good board and they pair it with the 3700x but no mention of a bios update. on pcpartpicker it say i might need a different cpu to update the bios before i use it with a 3700x does anyone have any experience with this? should i cancel my order?

All 400 series bards require Bios update to work with 3000 series CPUs. I would cancel that order and get MSI B450 Tomahawk because they callow you Bios flashback using a USB drive.

does that also go for x470?

Asus has updated most of their 400 series boards (including this model) to work with 3000 series CPUs out of the factory, however there are still some non-updated boards out in the wild. So it's impossible to know until you get the board home if it's updated or not.

Once you get it you can cross your fingers and hope...

The note about getting a board with BIOS flashback is a good one, but note that MSI "MAX" series boards are guaranteed to have an updated 3rd-gen compatible BIOS.

Yep. I'd assume that it supports the 3000 series by now. However, i'd still update BIOS when I get it since the BIOS version on there might be old.

Worst-case scenario, AMD will send you a free "boot-kit" containing an old athlon that you use to update your BIOS and then send back to them, however this process takes time and It's better to avoid it if at all possible.

Just built my son a 3600X with a ROG Strix B-450F combo and it worked out of the box. Bought the MB on Black Friday from Amazon, and the box had no mention of 3rd Gen Ryzen and the bios was not up-to-date.
