MSI B550 mobos - has updated BIOS for 5600X if I buy now?

[Iron Chef]

I recently lucked out getting a 5600X. Now waiting to get a mobo - the B550 Gaming Edge Wifi specifically. If I buy one now from the latest stock, would I have a good chance of getting one that works with the 5600X out of the box?

 

I don't mind flashing the BIOS to the latest if necessary, but that always makes me a bit nervous.

depends on what b550 but most likely yes

It's really hard to tell. You might get a unit that's fresh off the production line, or you might get a unit that's been sitting on a warehouse shelf for three months. Thankfully, the B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI has a BIOS flashback feature that allows you to update without the CPU, so you don't need to worry. Here's a great video that explains the process.
