ASRock B450M Pro4-F bios update

[ZheMattHatt]

Hi, currently I'm using a ryzen 3 1200 with the bios that came with the motherboard, but I'm upgrading to a ryzen 5 1600 AF tomorrow. The thing is, the 1600 AF needs a bios update to 2.0, but the manufacturer's site says don't update to 2.0 if I'm using a pinnacle ridge processor, so it's basically contradicting itself. What do I do? I never flashed a bios update before either.

Yeah, the 1600 AF is a little funky because it looks like a 1000 series but it's really a 2000 series and it came out after the 3000 series. I do think you need the update.
