CPU upgrade time....

[battlebox56]

I have an ROG strix x470-f mobo and if I'm correct its not ryzen 5000 compatible. Should I upgrade to a ryzen 7 3800x instead or should I get a 5000 series cpu and new mobo? I have a gtx 1080 and plan to swap it for a 3070 soon so I'm not sure what my best option is for my cpu.

There should be an updated bios for that board relatively soon-- there's hints of it in the version that released today.

Can you send where it says there will be a bios update?

I was just looking (at the Asus support site for the board) and it looks as though there's a Beta BIOS version which includes "new CPU support" And is "high recommended not to install" when using for older AM4 CPUs which were previously supported. So I'm guessing that means a stable BIOS with Ryzen 5000 compatibility is coming.

AFAIK resizable BAR is a 5000 only feature, and AMD has said they'd support 5000 series on 400 series boards.

When do you think that bios update will be ready to use? Because after researching it i'm not sure when it's available or when I should buy the new cpu
