New CPU BIOS Update

[Masterlee3]

I was on PC Part Picker the other day and in my config I used a Ryzen 5800X and paired it with a X570 motherboard. When I did that, it gave me an error saying that I would need to give the board a BIOS update with an older CPU that is already supported in the BIOS. Is there a way to update the bios in a motherboard without having to use a second CPU and just use the new CPU that you already have?

On some motherboards, yes.

Otherwise, AMD will provide a boot kit if required.
